Lighting Unit Riser with Controls

If you are like many X1 Carbon printer owners, you are dissatisfied with the internal lighting of the printer. I find it hard to see whatever is on the print plate through the tinted glass of the printer case. I understand that there is an issue with too much lighting interfering with the lidar sensor, but the lidar is only used for a discrete period of time at the print set up stage. Beyond the print set up stage, there are no printing constraints in using a brighter light. My solution to the case lighting dilemma is to mount additional lighting strips above the normal print case, embedded in a riser. The riser sits on top of the printer, elevating the top glass plate and contains the lighting strips. This new lighting can be manually turned on or off and the lighting brightness is also under manual control. The manual controls are easily accessible via a switch and knob mount adjacent to the X1C LCD display. Additional lighting also improves the picture quality of the X1 internal cam
