Note: This file set is an extension to the HomeCube enclosure project. To make use of this file set, you have to download the basic file set and building instructions PDF as well.

These are the printed parts needed for inside illumination of the HomeCube's case. If applied as instructed (see the building instructions linked above), the LED light sources can  be unplugged and be taken off with the case as well as be unclipped and remain on the base plate when taking off the case (to serve as a working light for maintenance or repair of the printer).

LEDs may optionally be connected to the printer's PSU (so the light will automatically be turned on and off with the printer), however, in this case the LEDs' voltage has to match the printer's (12 or 24 Volt).

You may either use regular LED strips and carrier profiles like I did (see photos) or inexpensive aquarium light LED tubes like this.
