VORON 2.4 STATUS LED BAR (neopixel & led strip)

hi , 

i made this voron 2.4 led status bar because i wanted to have a nice project .and now its finnished and works well enough i share it here .

This is version 1 

FUTURE PLANS :

On this moment there are no future updates .

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

I made 2 variants (Neopixels and Led strip)

The neopixel version is the fully tested version .

The Led strip variant i made  for the community . I did not test it!

i toke measurements from online schematics from most common adressable led strips . witch was in width 10 mm and a thicknes of a max of 3 mm . i gave a smal play to it .

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

BOM :

• CLEAR FILLAMENT (pet g / abs/)

• COLLORED FILLAMENT BY OWN CHOISE ( pet g /abs)

• SOLDERING IRON

• SOLDER

• FLUX

• 6 NEOPIXEL / ADRESSABLE LED STRIP 

• JST CONNECTORS AND CRIMPING TOOLS

• WIRE

• 2X 2020 M3 ROLL NUT / T NUT

• M3 BHCS 6 MM OR 8 MM

• EVENTUALY A ARDUINO UNO OR VARIANT TO TEST THE NEOPIXEL CHAIN

• MULTI MEASUREMENT TOOL

• A GOOD CALLIBRATED PRINTER (because i use tight tollerances)

PRINTING GUIDANCE :

I used standard voron settings , Al parts are in the right position to print . there are no supports needed . you can print in whatever collor you whant only the led defuser need to be printed in clear fillament.

Before printing the frame mount first measure the spacing between the 2 extrusions where your bed is mounted on . according to the voron manual this should be 130 mm . but like with my voron its is not the right position according to the holes in my bed . i made a standard  one of 127 mm and 2 variants of  128 and 129 mm . take your measurement and do minus 1 mm . i had 128,2 so i picked the 127 mm . 

NEOPIXEL MANUAL :

1. Take the neopixel housing and put the neopixels in it  from DIN TO DOUT  .orientation of the housing does not mather only the orientation of the neopixel to eachother does . you can see how to do according to the picture 1.

2. Put the housing on the soldering base .

3. Solder al the connections in chain (picture2)

4. Do a continuity test to make sure you dont have any shorts 

5. Evt do a test on a arduino uno or simmular .

6. everything nice and steady ?!

7. the soldering base you will not need anymore .

8. click the defuser in to the frame mount.

9. click the soldered housing to the back of the defuser and frame mound so everyting is now 1 piece .normaly if your tollerances are good its nice and steady and will hold in place .

10. now you can put 1 roll in nut in each extrusion that holds your print bed .

11. ready to mount with m3 x6 or 8 (dont overtighten) 

12. connect to your mainboard in the right way according to your board (5v pin only)

13. change your printer cfg for using the status bar . 

14. upgrade your pause, resume ,etc  macros so they change the light according your own wishes .

15. your status led bar is finnished! :D

LED STRIP MANUAL :

1. Take your led strip and cut it to the good length according to the led strip housing.

2. solder the wiring to the the DIN side of the strip .

3. test your strip evt with a arduino uno 

4. evt glue your led strip in the led strip housing.

5. make sure the wiring goes thru the square hole of the housing 

6. mount everything together .

7. from here follow the neopixel manual from point 9.

in my printer.cfg file i put this configuration :

[neopixel rgb_status_bar]

pin: PF10

chain_count: 6

color_order: GRB

initial_RED: 0.0

initial_GREEN: 1.0

initial_BLUE: 0.0

initial_WHITE: 0.0

To let macros change the light put these in your macro according to the collor you want :

SET_LED LED=rgb_status_bar RED=0 GREEN=0 BLUE=1 # blue

SET_LED LED=rgb_status_bar RED=1 GREEN=0 BLUE=0 # red

SET_LED LED=rgb_status_bar RED=0 GREEN=1 BLUE=0 # green

SET_LED LED=rgb_status_bar RED=1 GREEN=0.1 BLUE=0 #orange

 I hope you all like my design :D feel free to ask some questions i will try to respond as fast as possible .

CHANGE LOG :

19/08/2026 -uploaded model files v1

24/08/2026 - added 2 extra variants of the frame mount with other dimensions according to the spacing between the bed holding extrusions . standard i picked 127 mm . The extra variants are 128 and 129 mm .

25/08/2026 - Changed al the stl files to the right position to print . no supports needed .

06/09/2026 - Added a Led strip housing variant for everyone who wants to use a led strip in place of neopixels.
