About this model

An effector that allows for light painting. This works by setting a long exposure on a phone or camera and having the 3D printer trace out the shape with an LED. By connecting the LED to the fan's power output, it can be controlled with G-code, so the painting doesn't have to be one continuous line. The pictures shown above are: Lorenz attractor Saddle Hyperboloid Tesseract Effector and G-code designed for the FLSUN Q5. WIRING: The G-code needs to be able to control the LED. To do this, I wired it to the part cooling fan port in place of the fan. M106 S255 turns the LED on, and M107 turns it off. On the FLSUN Q5, the part cooling fan port is 24V, so you need resistors to limit the current, chosen for your LED's forward voltage. Mine was 2.2V and runs well at about 11 mA, so I used 2x 1 kΩ …
