Because my printer is sitting in a dark corner, I wanted some light to better watch the first layer.

The light consist of seven white LEDs, witch are soldered together and powered via USB. (see wiring diagram; Resistor should be about 100Ohms, dependent on your LEDs). For the button I used one I had laying around, I think the type is called "A14", but I am not sure about this.

It is designed with a segmented arm, so it is easy to move it around. The segments require a lot of force to assemble and are a bit stiff, but that way the lamp holds its position better. I used about 20 segments for the arm, but you could probably use fewer
The ball parts of the segment have a diameter of 10mm.

The Base is mounted to the aluminium extrusion with a M4 bolt and a nut.

The size of the LED housing an holder are to fit my part, but you could end up needing outher measures, so I uplouded the step files, so it is easier for you to make it fit for your part.
