Instructions
1. Print a pair of Lightbars, using the attached STL file. It is very forgiving, and can be printed at about any fill density and will still work.
2. LEDs are inserted into the Lightbar. They should be a snug fit, if you use 5mm LEDs like I did. I got mine from All Electronics: allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/LED-127/ULTRABRIGHT-WHITE-LED-5MM-15-DEG/1.html
3. Solder the LEDs together. How exactly you do this will depend on the exact specifications that you use. Check out this flickr.com photoset for some more details: flickr.com/photos/42433826@N00/sets/72157622993771738/
4. Add a plug to attach the Lightbars to your MakerBot power supply - if you do it the way I did, you use the 12V line. That way when you power up your machine, it lights up the interior, too.
5. Enjoy!
