1. Introduction
I am the owner of a K1 Max 3D printer, the built-in lightning system is not good enought for me. In fact, it’s quite dark.
This project aims at improving the lightning system for K1 Max 3D printer! I designed the lightning frame myself with Plasticity, due to limited size of K1 Max, I have split the whole big model into 8 parts, then print them one by one.
In addition, there are holes to use LED bars with zip ties, no messy with double-size tapes. You gonna be surprise while cleaning a mess of double-size tapes, and I hate it.

3. Where is the model?
