Ringbearer: Detroy the darkness (of our 3D prints)
Background
We would like to illuminate objects on our 3D printer bed, using an LED light ring. We would like to be able to change the height (Z) of this ring using stepper motors.
Objective
Design 3D printed apparatus to support a LED ring, and allow it to be moved up and down with stepper motors. Apparatus should minimize obstruction with normal operation of the printer.
Solution
Components
Ringbearer consists of several pieces which are individually printed and then assembled. Sizing requirements make it difficult to print a single-piece solution.
