Redesign of my original led light bar mount for the Prusa MK2S: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2823709, now for the Creality Ender 3.
I found the mount for the MK2S to work so well that I modified it slightly to work on my new Ender 3. All you need to mount are 2 x M4 screws and 2 x T-Nuts. If you want it a little more rigid you can add 2 more screws and T-Nuts and use the rear holes, although I have not found it to be necessary. This mount does not interfere with the movement of the printer or filament in any way. The light bar is angled at ~30* which seems to distribute the light evenly over the print surface.
I used orange PETG with 4 perimeters and 40% infill for strength, but 2 perimeters and 20-30% would probably suffice. There is no difference between right and left so just print 2 to mount a simple LED light bar.
I had a few questions regarding my light bar...I made it myself using aluminum led mounting hardware, 4 x 3W LEDs, and a constant current buck conver
