Topic: Blacklight effect with stock LED strip

Whilst fumbling around with some painter's tape (which I use for temporary notes slapped on the SD2), I covered a small section of the LEDs. Which gave me the idea to cover them all the way across. Looks pretty cool and doesn't get hot. A nice change if you are hungover and whatnot!

Re: Blacklight effect with stock LED strip

Yeah. I'm big on visuals and tricking modding. But I also want white LED just in case I need fine definition for watching a print. But I am currently printing one of my new designs....a clip on light filter that tucks away from the extruder in the event of stock gCode commands so it doesn't slam into the filters.
I'm testing with red first. If it works, I will upload the stl here before thingiverse.

Re: Blacklight effect with stock LED strip

I wanna replace mine with Philips friends of hue led strip. Then I can make it look like a dance party inside the machine while it prints.... or more likely just have it match the rest of the lighting in the room as I change between colors.
