Version 4 note. Changed design slightly to allow different light from Amazon with longer cord so no extension is required.~ Thanks Jim
Version 3 note. Changed cable routing for USB as it exits for future Raccoon Engineering upgrades
Version 2 note. Added a little extra clearance for printhead variations. ~ Thanks Christian
Uses standard 8mm COB and FCOB lighting. Can be powered of the Kobra USB port or any USB wall adapter or computer. The USB cable routes nicely down the loom on right side. Requires four M3 x 30mm or 35mm fasteners. Watch video for proper zip tie orientation (top rear)
There is a link below for an inexpensive USB extension cable if you want to run off something besides the Kobra X USB port.
Parts:
M3 Hardware kit if you do not have the fasteners
Clear PLA Filament for diffuser
Small Zip Ties to secure USB. Note model is designed for this size.
Note we have found that Anycubic "light grey" is a really good match for the printer plastic. We use "texture grey" as an accent color on most our products.

This is a diffused version which spreads light more evenly but requires you to print with clear filament available here. The included models are set to two color printing so you can print in your color of choice and the diffusers section just where needed.
As a bonus the lightbar mounts cover the ugly extrusions that come on the Kobra X
