Flashforge 5m COB Light bar & hinges

I also added hinges so that the light bar can be mounted on top of the front bar on the 5m. The hinges work at a 45-degree angle with the standard Boden tube setup; I have not tested with a drag chain setup.  The light bar is reversible and adjustable with the two holes on the upright hinge.  The single-hole hinge attaches 

This works with 8mm COB LED lights which are cheap on Ali.  

Two wires soldered to the end of the led cut strip and then ran along the same path as the display flat cable to the main board.  Then terminate them in a male JH end and plug them into the yellow LED port on the main board.  Turn it on in the firmware.

The model uses 2 m3 x 8 low-profile head screw to attach to the front crossbar of the 5m.

                     2 m3 x 8 and

                     2 m3 x 12 with nuts

                     20 cm of 8mm wide 24-volt cob

PLA is fine but PETG is probably better for any heat produced.  

No support is needed, print face down.

The light bar should still be able to be used with the enclosure mods as the holes are 20cm apart.

I completely remade the bar. I added notches at each end for the solder joins to slip in and be covered, reducing the chance of shorting.
