Ender 5 Light Bar (with visible hot end)

Ender 5 LED light brackets and bar, specifically designed to fit with the visible hot end (OUTSIDE mount) mod by modrows1 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3760726 I made this because I used to have the LED strip light fixed to the front bar of the Ender 5, and with the bar now lowered from the visible hot end mod, it didn't illuminate the bed any longer. Designed to be high enough to both see the nozzle and also access the bed with your hands through the front (gap is approx 85mm / 3.3")

Options exist to fix the brackets to the Ender frame at both top and bottom. For the top fixing, replace one of the screws used for the visible hot end block with a longer (30mm) screw that goes through both LED bracket and visible hot end block. There is also the ability to fix the bracket underneath onto front bar with screw and t-nut if required. Personally I have only fixed the top and this is more than strong enough. Push fit is also an option as the fitment clearance is tight enough if you don't have screws available.

You will obviously need to buy an LED light strip. I would recommend the cheap stick-on LED strip with USB cable at the other end. I bought for $1 and cut to length (printable bar is 290mm long). It sticks onto the printed LED bar with double sided tape (usually included on the LED strip) I run Octoprint on Raspberry Pi with the PSU control plug in, so wired the light up to a relay that is turned on when the printer is powered on via PSU control.

Print all parts first, slot the light bar into the left and right bracket, stick on the LED light strip, slide the bracket over the visible hot end blocks and plug in the LED cable. Voila, illumination!

I have included 2 extra brackets that are 3mm shorter on the upper mount than the originals. This is in case you are running D_jespersen's belt cover mod - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3412007 - which will now slide between the visible hot end block and the LED bracket (as seen in the photos)

Also added left and right brackets 20mm taller than original. Provides more room between front bar and LED light bar for viewing or reaching in (main image shows the new taller brackets)
