Searching for an easy to print solution?

This one is designed for the Artillery Sidewinder X2. Made of 3 Parts, Cable can be mounted left or right. You may need to replace the 2 screws by longer variants (+4mm). No additional screws or glue needed.

Update V2:
  • Update vertical strive. moved to the inner side so that the ribbon cable is not bent
  • Add a simple cable guide
  • Middle (LED) part is not changed
     

Used with SK6812 RGBW LED IP30 144LEDs/Pixels/m 5V (for example BTF-LIGHTING RGBW RGBNW Naturweiß SK6812

Fits for exactly 25 LEDs

Be sure to use a 144er Variant without IP65/67 protection - the dimensions are different

 

You can connect them directly to your printers board (instead of the extruder LED). This means further firmware adaptions - or you connect them to your AirCookie WLED Project

If you are really fancy you can setup your effects or status illumination together with Klipper firmware
