Adding an LED to the bottom of an AB-BN toolhead

[DennisM]

I have a recently built 2.4r2 that I ended up using the AB-BN toolhead on, as I like the cooling design and the fact that it fully supports my Dragon HF hotend.

But I was wondering how difficult it would be to add 1 or 2 LEDs at the bottom, maybe on the accent color front piece or something? Has anyone else thought about this? If a model doesn't exist I may try to craft up something and see how it works. I think a couple tiny LEDs on the end pointed down would help illuminate the printed part.

I've been spoiled with my Geeetech Mizar S as it has an LED on the bottom of the toolhead and it illuminates the extruding filament so I can see how it's going easily.

Well, there's a Dragon mount for Stealthburner and SB has nozzle LEDs. SB is the next development step for ABBN with even better air flow.

Well, yeah I'm aware of the SB and even have the toolhead PCB and LEDs ready to go when I build it.

I should go ahead and start working on that as the next phase of my project

Stealthburner is a great addition and a must in my humble opinion. The neopixels in the toolhead with the associated config file does it all.
