Designed specifically for Prusa printers, my LED light is not just your average lighting solution. It is engineered to resist flickering, ensuring a stable and consistent illumination throughout your printing process. Say goodbye to distracting light fluctuations caused by the bed's PWM and hello to a seamless printing experience.


Built on an aluminum PCB, this LED light ensures efficient heat dissipation for optimal performance and longevity. It boasts an array of additional features, including an ON/OFF switch and brightness adjustment, allowing you to customize the lighting to your exact preferences.

 

To deliver the perfect lighting experience, the LED light is mounted within an aluminum frame with a milky cover. This combination creates a gentle diffusion of light, evenly illuminating your print bed and enhancing visibility during the printing process.

 

Not only does this LED light provide excellent functionality, but it also excels in efficiency. With a power consumption of at most around 1W, you can enjoy bright, reliable illumination without worrying about excessive energy usage.

 

If you print the holder, then I would suggest using PETG or other heat resistant material as the motor can get quite hot! ALSO, make sure to print the correct version for your machine, as of now there are 3 versions of the V2 one for MK2, MK3 and Bear, NOTE that the MK3 is untested as of now since I don't have access to it.

 

If you are interested in this LED light solution for your Prusa, you can buy it from me on Tindie.
