![]() Remove the existing light bar by pushing out the mounting pegs, then install the one you just created.Using a small X-ACTO ® knife is best for this, and of course, be very careful when doing this. Clean your print of any burrs or hair to make it look as good as possible.TIP: printing with 0% infill allows the most light from the LEDs to shine through If you’re printing translucent for the first time, make sure to do some test prints and create a profile with the appropriate temperature and printer settings to get the best results. Colored printing material will obviously not allow light through, so stay away from colors. You will want to use translucent PLA or ABS for your printing. ![]() Make sure to also repair your object to ensure it is manifold if your printing program recommends this. You should also use a perimeter wall of 1-3, any more than that will restrict the ability of the light to shine through. This will help with allowing the LED lights to shine through the object better. For printing settings, we recommend you put the infill percentage to 0. Prepare and slice the file in your printing program.Save/export your file as a 3D printing type like STL. For instance, if your memory is below a CPU cooler, you may have limited vertical space to work with. Also, take note of the height and width restrictions of the model you’re making. Modify the model in your 3D software, making sure to only add to the top of the light bar, not the sides or bottom.Note: Different programs will have different ways to import 3D printing files. Blender ®, Netfabb ®, FreeCAD, Autodesk ® Fusion 360 ™, SketchUp ® are some software options that are free or have trial versions. Import the light bar into the 3D editing software of your choice.Follow these steps to create your own light bar and add it to a Crucial Ballistix MAX Module: *
