Tired of late nights with flashlight monitoring the print as well as fiddling around with video led panels to get decent lightening for my time lapses. No more!
Ordered some cheap 12V led strips and designed a holder for them!
Led panels used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291652042409?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=590685936576&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I did cut them to a more fitting length! Powering them from the 12V output available in the PSU.
There's one version that works with the Multi Material upgrade for the Original Prusa i3 Mk2, that will be released shipped during 2017 just print two of them, and I'm using zipties to fasten the ledstrip. This one can be used for for the regular MK2 as well, and for other i3 designs I assume.
