Model Overview & Print Notes

Creality K2 Plus Light Mod Required: COB Led Strip Lights https://www.amazon.com/QooWare-Lighting-5120LEDS-Flexible-Controller/dp/B0CLVDQTCK 1.25 mm JST 2 Pin Micro Electrical Male and Female Connector Plug https://www.amazon.com/MKBKLLJY-20Pairs-Electrical-Connector-Twinkle/dp/B0DK4N453F You will want some heat shrink, electrical tape and/or hot glue to cover your solder joints. The JST connectors I linked above come with some heat shrink. ## 3D Printing Settings You will need 3 male JST 1.25 pigtails and 1 female JST 1.25 pigtail. Right Side: 1 male JST 1.25 pigtail. Leave 1 inch of wire and just off the last 3 inches. Solder both wires of the plug directly to the 19.5 inch COB Led Strip. Left Side: 1 male JST 1.25 pigtail. Use the 3 inches of wire that you removed from the prior pigtail, and solder them onto the end of a new pigtail. Solder this new 7 inch pigtail directly to the 21.5 inch COB Led Strip. Front: 1 male and 1 female JST 1.25 pigtail. Using the 15.2 inch COB Led Strip, look at the copper pads on the strip. Count five from the left, three from the right. This is the connection point we will use. Remove the rubber coating from that set of copper pads. Solder both, a male and a female JST pigtails both reds to the +, both black leads to the other. Make sure all connections are covered with heat shrink, electrical tape and/or hot glue to avoid shorts. ---------- Now all you need to do is unplug the original Led in the front and the led in the back right. Pop off the plastic shield on the right side to expose the electronics and wires. You can then reroute the original Led wire to reach out the back of the plastic shield and then replace the shield. With your right side COB Led Strip in place, you can plug the wire we rerouted in the prior step, into your COB Led strip. With your left side COB Led Strip in place, the wire runs along the old front Led, leave the plug unplugged for now. With the front COB Led Strip in place, take the wire that originally plugged into the front Led, and plug that into the male plug on your front COB Led Strip. Take the left side COB Led Strip wire that we left unplugged in the prior step, and plug that into the female plug on your front COB Led Strip.
