Prusa XL inspired NozzleLight

Yesterday Prusa posted the XL update #2. (Of course, since the XL is too big for me, I'm definitely waiting for a mini with a tool changer. ) But that's not the point at all. They spent the XL two LEDs at the Nozzle. I don't know how many hours I've spent standing in front of my mini with my iPhone flashlight... Anyway, I thought to myself: If the XL can do it, the mini has been able to do it for a long time.

I had some mini LEDs lying around and a USB extension cable, so I drew a small adapter that connects to the Prusa USB Port.

What you need for this mod:

• 1x mini LED light→ https://amzn.to/3KdfSLR
• 1x 1m USB extension cable → https://amzn.to/3nM2qae
• 1x M3 x 20 screw → https://amzn.to/4399Zrr (you may still have one of these from an extruder conversion).

ATTENTION: Please align the LED holder 3° points downwards. (See picture) Otherwise, the cable could be collided with the heating bed connector.

Installation instructions:

1. Loosen the rear screw of the M.I.N.D.A./SuperPINDA bracket.
2. Slide the mini LED into the "LED Halter"
3. Replace the removed screw with the M3x20 screw and put the whole thing back in place. Make sure the LED is facing 3° down.
4. Slide the "Klammer" over the end of the USB cable and connect it to the LED.
5. The other end of the USB cable goes into the USB port of the printer or your OctoPi.
6. Turn on the printer and test if the LED is illuminated.
7. If everything is ok, you can hide the USB cable in the cable tube and you are ready to print.

Enjoy and happy printing!
