This design aims light under the printhead of the Creality S1 series printers to make it easy to examine the current layer - very important for that first layer!
I created a similar system for my Ender 3 Pro, and I really was becoming dependent on the light. After giving it some thought, I came up with the idea of mounting the brackets on the 'ears' of the gantry pulley plates. The mounting brackets are a few millimeters higher than the nozzle, and should never come in contact with the model.
Printing the parts - Print the LED rail flat side down. The inner walls of the slot are a 45 degree overhang, and should print without problems. The mounting brackets will require support for the overhang of the rail slots. See the Slicer Preview image for print orientation and support. When printed this way, all other angles are greater than 45 degrees. Paint-on supports, if your slicer offers them, will do this nicely. PLA, PETG or any other material should work fine.
It still uses the same LED mounting rail design as the original, and assembly of that is unchanged. See the PDF document "LED Rail Construction" in the remix link. I took power from the accessory pins at the right top rear of the base. The connector used is a " JST-XH" type available on Amazon or from AliExpress.
If you print and install this, please post a make!
I don't require payment for my designs, but if you find this useful, I'd appreciate it if you would buy me a coffee. My Venmo ID is @Techineer. Thanks!
