Voron Daylight/Rainbow on a budget

Currently this Model only works for Voron 0.2 or similiar small printers with 1515 extrusions.

ROAB short for Rainbow On A Budget.

The rectangular cutout on the back is for cable management if you only have one RGB port on your MCUs, allowing you to route data from one strip to the data input of the other strip.
 

Hardware

• 2-4x M3 "Slide-in nuts" or harder to use regular M3 “Hexnuts” (have to be preinstalled)
• 2-4x m3x10 SHCS or BHCS 
• 2-4x JST XH 2.54mm 3Pin
• Any supported (by your hardware setup) 3-Pin led strip
  • i used 8x 5050 with SK6812 driver 5v led strip 60leds/m aka. neopixels, (supported by SKR pico, my led strip is 10mm in width)
  • a total strip length of approx. 130mm, u can use what ever length you want.

Tools

• soldering iron
• screwdriver
• brain / common sense

Material / Settings

• Use ABS/ASA when installing ROAB on an enclosed printer
• Walls, Top/Bottom: 4 layers
• Infill: 15-30%
• print orientation: standing, tall side up

Installation

1. prepare printed parts and electronical parts (see images)
2. insert 2 slide-in nut into the extrusion
3. screw the rear “roab_jst_connector.stl” into the nut with a SHCS/BHCS that was inserted in step 1, this can be done where it will be in the final position
4. Take the other end of your LED strip and screw it into the second nut. This time, apply a little tension when tightening the screw so that the LED strip doesn't sag.

Disclaimer:

This is only more budget-friendly if you already have the necessary parts lying around somewhere. The screenshots may not be up to date.

Instead of getting/manufacturing/purchasing a “hard” PCB, I wanted to utilize items I had available, and this time I had some good old LED strips, also known as LEDs on an FPCB.
Thats why this “mod/remix” is called “Daylight/Rainbow on a budget”.
