Re: need replacement led light strip for my SD3

I'm not absolutely positive, but I think it is just wired up to 12 volts like the fan, so any LED strip designed to run on 12 volts could probably be used. I've bought things from the LED supply folks from time to time. This might work (and leave you some left over):

You can get it here.  It's a 15 ft. reel for $5.00  This should let you wrap the whole machine in LED.  Or you can cut it to length as you need.

Or you can do what I did, and use an RGB strip, so you can dial in whatever color you want

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...

Oh No! Now we need firmware support for controlling the light color so you can use it to indicate printbed temp or something :-).

Re: need replacement led light strip for my SD3

And who gets to deal with the 3 different PWM libraries to deal with the options out there smile not all strips are WS2XXX based...

And if the strips Not PWM IC based, can't do it, as we don't have the spare clock ticks to drive 3xPWM channels for pretty lights smile

The devil, is always in the details smile
