Purchased Original Prusa Enclosure for my MK3 with older style power supply.
Instead of adding the Prusa light kit to my order, which would require an additional power supply and an upgrade of my old silver MK3 power supply, I decided to go DIY.
Found these easy to cut/modify USB powered LED lights on Amazon and modeled a led channel that mounts to the holes in the top of the enclosure with 4mm Socket cap screws. Model has inset hex nut inserts for attachment.
Using 2x300mm lengths of lights, I soldered them together with some wire, used the backer tape provided with the lights and some 5 min epoxy to secure the lights to the led channel and mounted in my printer.
Plugged in via old iPhone USB power brick and ran a USB on/off inline switch for control.
Ran cable out of the enclosure via modified Top Edge Plug: https://www.printables.com/model/265325-top-edge-plug-with-cord-pass-for-original-prusa-en
Secured USB cable to outside of enclosure using External Zip Tie Mount: https://www.printables.com/model/265235-zip-tie-mount-for-original-prusa-enclosure-externa
Printed at 100% infill in Prusament Black PETG.
