LED Lamps for Original Prusa i3

I designed these lightweight heads for my Prusa i3Mk2S to provide a broad cast of light in the front and back. They are designed so that you can have light in the front, the back, or both as the light standards are independant. Small gauge wiring will run through the inside of the light standards and out the mount. There are some utility hooks on the mounts for cable management. I made the lamp heads to accommodate G4 12VDC LED automobile dome lights: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XWTGZ3P/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=skartzamzn01-20&linkId=5f725706838fe896db6fea453ac03f24&language=en_CA

Only use supports manually placed underneath the dome. DO NOT put supports inside the tubes or you will have a heck of time getting them out. With good bridge settings, you should have no troubles. I printed mine in PETG and used high temp hot glue to hold the lamps in the heads (CA glue will also work). All parts are held together with CA glue.

I made the joints very snug, so a bit of sanding or slight tweaking with a scalpel may be required for the best fit. I suggest you do a dry fit first, take apart, run wiring through and solder it up, then glue and assemble. Make sure you have the gantry mounts oriented correctly for your application, they should attach from the back side or they will interfere with the X-axis at maximum Z-height.

Please Post your Makes. I would love to see how they turn out.

Thanks, Enjoy!
