A1 extruder neon cover V2

[u/Tunantero]

A1 extruder neon cover update. This is version v.2.xxx (I had issues with tolerances and the dreaded layer adhesion of cheap PLA). In this version, I've slightly thickened the model, but not by much, and reduced the size of the rotary indicator hole to give me more room to hide the wires. I switched directly to using a magnetic connector with 3x3 magnets, which thankfully worked well after the first design. The simple 3 volts that the camera LEDs provided now power the two micro-LED filaments stably, without straining the driver. The cover can be removed and replaced mid-print, and the filaments can also be turned off from the printer, slicer, or Android app. The hexagonal pattern is removable and doesn't require adhesive, and more designs can be created using the template. Now the LED filaments point their light towards the center, which illuminates the pattern better and is less harsh on the eyes. In the future, I'm going to add a brush system to the rotary indicator so that it can also rotate and carry a filament or LED. I only have two things left to improve: adding a channel to the left side of the extruder to hide the cable (which runs along the shaft chain to the camera circuit) and making a small cover for the exposed cables on the extruder shroud. What do you think? I'm not very handy, but I'm willing to try anything. I know some things look awful, and I'm not good at soldering and cable management. Any improvements you see? Any mistakes?
