Info
This is a part cooling system made by this guy along with my approach on hotend Neopixels.
You will need
- 5 Neopixels similar to this one - Single Breakout Neopixel
- a motherboard that can support Neopixels
- Soldering Iron
- a 3-wire ribbon cable with a connector to fit your motherboard
- ready to tweak some firmware stuff
- Insulation tape
Installation
- On the blower side, you screw it to your blower fan, the same way the stock blower vent is installed.
- On the other side, it holds to the fan box with a small chamfer, make sure to slide it in.
- The leds are seated into their slots and then soldered with small wires . You can even hot-epoxy glue them to the printed but, but this makes it impossible to transfer them to a new print.
- Cover the wires with some insulation tape. The fan box is metal and could short your leds.
- If you are using Skr e3 mini you have to change a small jumper on the motherboard to power the leds. Here is the SKR documentation that shows the jumper.
Firmware
- I am using marlin and i had to enable neopixels and flash again
- If you are using an SKR mini e3, you can follow this github solution to get the leds working. This solution implements this improved Neopixel library
