__Motivation__
I wanted some nice lighting on my Anycubic Kossel linear plus that would illuminate the object nicely without shining directly in my face when closely looking at the initial layer.
So I quickly designed and made this Neopixel mounting that is a good light shroud at the same time.
__Mechanical__
This is only the _left-hand side_ version, so the little 'cap' sits on top. To make the right-hand side version, simply mirror the model in Cura (or whatever flavor slicer you prefer).
I used a piece of RGB LED-strip with 144 WS2812 elements per meter (about 1 LED per 7 mm) with a self-adhesive back.
To mount the holders to the 2020 frame profile, use two T-nuts and M4*6 screws.
The LEDs are very close to the toothed belt to keep as much clear space for removing models from the workspace from the front-side.
__Electrical__
This mounting holds 5 NeoPixels per side, which I connected in parallel.
Power and signal for the NeoPixels can directly be provided by the servo
