LED Lid Extension for X1 and P1 Series Printers - digital files only

This Lid Extension addresses a few issues; the PTFE tube rubbing on the underside of the lid, the need for a little more light, need to vent heat out of the enclosure when printing with PLA.

The assembly is simple, just four parts for the frame, a bracket for the LED controller, and two slides.

The slides are color coated (red and green) to be able to see if the vents are open or closed with a glance.

The four parts of the frame are embossed with identifiers (FR, FL, RR, RL).

I used M3 - 0.5 socket head cap screws to fasten the tabs on the frame and for the LED controller.

Weather stripping (½" x 1/16") was used on the top lid cavity.  (also used when converting P1P to P1S)

All of the parts are listed in the BOM (included) and sources for the LED and weather stripping.

Printing Recommendations

I used PLA-CF for the frame, PLA for the slides.  I would recommend PLA-CF, PETG, or ASA if you are anticipating any higher heat.

The frame pieces are connected using small tabs and M3 screws.  The tabs can break off so take care during the initial assembly.

Custom Design

This model is made using an LED strip found on Amazon http://amzn.to/47bmj2E

If you wish to use a different LED strip, you use the frame_front_right_blank part and cut your own mounting hole for a controller (if it needs a controller).  You can also contact me if you want the part developed for your particular LED strip or bar.

This will take some design work and a small fee will be applied.

Donations

I spend a lot of time designing and developing different products and use a lot of PLA filament during development.  Any donation for the cause would be greatly appreciated.
