Duplicator i3 Plus/Maker Select Plus Light Bracket

Print the bracket, and cover in the direction they appear in the .STL files. Closed end of bracket towards the print bed. I printed mine in 0.1mm layer heights but 0.2mm should be more than enough.

Since the Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus/Monoprice Maker Select Plus are 24V native printers you need to make sure you wire the LED panels in SERIES so that each panel will only get 12V of power.

The light panels I used are these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9OQKCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you purchase those from Amazon you will recieve the two 6 SMD LED panels from Amazon, a little soldering is involved to rewire the backs of the LED panels like shown in the pictures. I wired the light directly in line with the fan for the heatsink on the hotend which is constantly running when the printer is switched on. It is up to you if you want to wire it directly to the fan, or you can put an inline plug on the light like I did. The lights from Amazon come with a bunch of connectors, I just reused those.

The side cover is VERY TIGHT. Lightly scrape away at the edges to give it a tight fit into the bracket. Too tight and you will break the little tab where the wires run, too loose and it will fall out while printing. So keep test fitting and DO NOT force it in there.
