Have you taken any timelapse videos of prints when your light strip was up? It looks pretty cool, but I worry about shadows.

This is a GREAT project. It makes a big difference Glad I printed it.
Please be aware the reason the light was kept low by Bambu is because the light affects the LiDAR and will cause erroneous results.
Be aware that if you're printing with high-temperature filaments in your printer, the chamber and the glass will get hot. The LEDs produce additional heat, and there really isn't anywhere for it to go, since the plastic doesn't conduct it away well. So expect your LED strip to run very warm, and make sure the material you use for the frame is up to the challenge.
Did you have use the little stopper piece that they mention on that link?
Well, i tried to print this today with Generic (SUNLU) ABS and proper values in Bambu Lab Studio, and it's a failure - so much warping that the cover has been removed from the plate ! :(
Had to stop the print due to the horrible sound the printer was producing at that time ...
@SRG_208679 that's why people use PETG
so does this sit on top of the glass?

@AlvinPan Does the AMS fit around it? or will I need to raise the AMS?
@SparkRL_267173 the AMS will just sit on it. :)
Very cool!! Do you have a link to the lights you used?

@NXXPLOSION_256232 You can try AliExpress, look for COB light strip with USB switch though
@AlvinPan Sounds good! Thanks for the info!
where did you fish out the power cable?
@Henry_18634 There is a gap for the cable to come through.
How do you power the LEDs if you don't mind me asking.
@NikhilRamkarra_15966 My USB LED light strip came use a toggle switch. I plugged it in with a smart socket so that I can turn it on or off through an app.
