After looking for an easy, no wiring, LED light for my printer, I remixed @GerardodeNicolas camera mount to add a USB rechargeable light to the Prusa MINI.
Purchase:
For ~$10, you will need to buy a rechargeable booklight with rotating head. There are many colors, styles and sellers of these lights, but make sure to purchase one with a Type A USB plug on the end that attaches to its clip rather than a style requiring a charging cable. (Note: the USB plug is what attaches to the printed piece; the clip itself has no electronics and will not be used. See picture) I would also recommend getting one that is dimmable to prolong runtime between charges. Here are two examples of the dimmable booklight I used with an estimated 10-12 hours of battery life per charge. They contained a 200mah LiPo battery.

Print:
As long as your printer can bridge one gap (~5mm x ~13mm), no supports are required. Pictured, it was printed in both new Prusament PETG (Orange X-axis) and old Inland PLA (Purple Z-axis) at .2 layer height and 100% infill. Prusament PETG & Generic PLA G-Code are included (print time less than 1 hour & 10g filament used)
Install:
This mount was designed to be placed on either the X-axis motor (and rise with the Z height while printing) or on the Z-axis motor (and remain stationary at the top). Align the print's rounded cable shield with the axis motor's cable, press to fit, and insert the USB lamp.
