Bambu Lab X1C LED riser with diffusor and gridfinity storage!

Another one? yes, another one… BUT! this one has a slot to slide in a (printed) diffusor, or a piece of paperstrip cut to the right specs.

1. if you plan to use the gridfinity add on, you can print the file with gridfinity add-on, this houses some 6x2 magnets (they press fit but to be sure use a drop of glue)
2. if you plan to use the gridfinity add-on but still need more light? you can use the gridfinity add-on with extra LEDstrip, this houses some 6x2 magnets (they press fit but to be sure use a drop of glue) so you can use another ledstrip to house underneath the gridfinity part. this LED shines down on the buildplate and you can use the 24v AMS psu as a source. it also has a cutout on the front to house a 12mm push button

I made the LED riser to fit in 12mm WS2812b 5v strips powered by an esp32  flashed with WLED but can easily house other ones ofcourse. 

you might want to use the 24v hack and using the PSU from bambulab itself with an extra 6pin cable and using the pins to power a LEDstrip directly from it.

I printed with these settings:

• PLA 220/55 
• layer height 0.2mm
• walls 2
• bottom 2
• top 5
• infill gyroid 15%
• support automatic with top/bottom-Z on 0.1mm

I also made a Gridfinity addon:

• made one with an option for an extra ledstrip accessible via a 12mm power button getting its power off the AMS 24v psu
• all gridfinity files are in the folders. There is a folder WITH or WITHOUT cutout in the bottom everything you need will be in the folders 
• magnets used is 6x2mm

quite some support but I saw no chance of cutting the design in two pieces to avoid this.

for the connectors, they are press fit with no tolerance. if you have trouble let me know.

for the diffusor you can use plain paper or you can print the file, it is a 13.5mm wide strip that fits into a 14mm wide slot, if it is too tight you can cut a shimmer off using a ruler and exacto/utility knife. It is 0.3mm thick and needs to fit in a 0.4mm slot. I recommend these settings to secure a 3 layer piece:

• fine setting .12mm
• first layer height 0.1mm

this way you get 3 layers (0.34mm) making it sturdy enough to fit through and diffuse light

when sliding in the diffusorstrip: connect every connector except the front, you can slide the diffusorstrip in, when all are in you can cut the excess and close the last connector from the top!

other questions, problems, design changes let me know!
