QIDI Plus 4 LED Strip Bracket for Rear Illumination

On the Qidi Plus 4, I wasn't entirely satisfied with the internal lighting, especially when printing with all the doors closed and the tinted glass casting shadows on the rear area, making it difficult to monitor the progress of the print.

I added an LED strip (24v) to the side of the rear cover, using a simple 3D-printed bracket to avoid attaching the LED strip directly to the rear cover with double-sided tape. 

This setup allows the strip to be easily inserted or removed if the rear cover needs to be taken off.

The LED strip was positioned roughly at the same height as the front LED strip to prevent the light from interfering with the webcam.

This bracket is suitable for an 8mm LED strip. 

The length of the bracket is 240mm, allowing for easy accommodation of an LED strip measuring 250mm +/-.

The bracket should be attached to the rear panel using heat-resistant double-sided adhesive.  

It should be positioned approximately 30mm below the top support mount and aligned with the "hole" (SEE PHOTO FOR REFERENCE).

For installation, the rear panel must be removed to route the wires and connect them to the existing LEDs. Simply unscrew / screw while adding the wires for the new LED strip.  

I routed the LED strip wires through the existing channels and secured them afterward with zip ties and tape.  

Then, I inserted the LED strip into the bracket and reattached the rear panel again.

Note: It's recommended to print with at least ABS or ASA, avoiding more heat-sensitive materials like PLA.

DISCLAIMER: While the process is relatively straightforward, it still requires a minimum level of manual skill.

I DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY AND ALL CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY ARISE DURING THIS OPERATION.

These operations must be performed by competent individuals.
