Give your Snapmaker U1 a clean, integrated RGB underglow effect using the original BIQU PopStatus LED strip and diffuser!

I designed this mount specifically for the Snapmaker U1 equipped with HULA feet. Since the HULA feet raise the printer, they create additional space underneath it – the perfect spot for a custom status light.

Instead of installing the BIQU PopStatus in its original position below the heated bed, this mount allows you to relocate the LED strip underneath the printer, creating a colorful underglow effect while keeping the original status light functionality.

Features

  • Designed specifically for the Snapmaker U1 with HULA feet

  • Reuses the original BIQU PopStatus LED strip and diffuser

  • Clean and discreet installation underneath the printer

  • Two-piece design for easy 3D printing

  • Integrated mounting tabs for double-sided adhesive tape

  • No modifications to the printer housing required

Printing

I printed both parts using the following settings:

  • Material: Amazon Basics PLA

  • Color: Light Gray

  • Print orientation: Upright (vertical)

  • Parts: 2

  • Layer height: 0.20mm

Both parts are designed to be printed vertically and then joined together using superglue (CA glue).

Assembly & Installation

  1. Print both parts in the provided upright orientation.

  2. Carefully remove the LED strip and diffuser from the original BIQU PopStatus housing.

  3. Slide the LED strip and diffuser into the two printed parts before gluing them together.

  4. Apply a small amount of superglue (CA glue) to the connecting surfaces of the printed parts.

  5. Carefully slide both parts together. The LED strip and diffuser act as alignment guides, helping both printed parts fit together perfectly without any offset at the joint.

  6. Allow the glue to cure, making sure no glue gets onto the LED strip or diffuser.

  7. Apply double-sided adhesive tape to the integrated mounting tabs.

  8. Attach the assembled mount underneath the Snapmaker U1, using the additional space created by the HULA feet.

  9. Install the PopStatus electronics in a separate housing, which can be glued to the back of the printed mount.

  10. Connect the electronics and enjoy your new RGB underglow lighting!

Electronics Housing

The original BIQU PopStatus electronics can be installed in a separate 3D-printed case available on MakerWorld.

This electronics case can simply be glued to the back of my printed mount for a compact installation.

Important Notes

  • This mount is intended for Snapmaker U1 printers equipped with HULA feet.

  • The original BIQU PopStatus LED strip, diffuser, and electronics are required and are not included in the STL files.

  • The electronics housing is a separate model and is not included.

  • Make sure the installation does not interfere with the printer's feet, ventilation, or moving parts.

Enjoy your Snapmaker U1 underglow upgrade!
