People always seem confused after asking what I used my 3d printer for and then I respond mostly to print parts for my 3d printer.

@SkonkBot Жыл бұрын

@John Doe the light is directly above the extruder so a shadow is cast directly down over the part. If you think there's nothing wrong with that then you're a clown.

@gannas42 Жыл бұрын

@@SkonkBot I agree. The reason I want a light isn't for pointless time-lapse videos. I want to clearly see the interface at the nozzle and the print on my printer camera. This is just going to cause the camera to adjust its automatic exposure for bright light and make the area I actually want to see darker on the video. If all you want is well-lit time-lapse footage then this fits the bill. Frankly I am more interested in practical mods that make my prints better or allow me to detect failures earlier.
