Design Concept

The Sparkx i7 Additional Lighting holder is designed to seamlessly fit onto the Sparkx i7 printer, enhancing visibility in the printing area. The design integrates well with the existing printer setup.

I was going to add a slot for a second row of lights below the first row of lights but when the print head is down, it is below the build plate. You can still stick a row of lights below the existing slot for lights and get two rows (with stick back or double sided tape).

Applications

This additional lighting setup is perfect for ensuring that the print area is always clearly illuminated, enhancing user experience and reducing print errors caused by poor visibility.

Printing Recommendations

To achieve the best results, print this model using PLA material with a layer height of 0.2mm or better. Ensure good bed adhesion to maintain print quality, especially on the extended arms.

Assembly Instructions

Simply snap the holder onto the bottom of the left side gantry on the Sparkx i7 printer. Secure the fit to ensure stability during printer operation. Slide the LED lights in the slot provided and plug into the USB slot on the Sparkx i7 or to a power supply. Use any suitable LED strip. I used this one from Amazon because it was short.
