LED USB BAR

Simple and inexpensive solution for lighting my P1S from the top down

I bought two of these to use in a Hotbox Mega. I plugged them into a 60W USB charger and they put out a weak greenish light that is just pitiful, like old fluorescents tubes in an abandoned building. 600 lumens is the brightness of a 60W incandescent bulb. These put out no more light than a 7W night light bulb, and I'll be asking for a refund.

If you just want a little night light, I guess these are okay, but if you want to to see what is going on with your printer, look elsewhere.

8/3/2023 Update: I received my Prusa MMU3 and set it up inside the hotbox. It's a little tight but it all works! My main complaint is that I wish there was a bigger velcro door on top to be able to access the MMU. The 2 little doors only allow for peeking at half of the top of the MMU. Maybe WhamBham can implement this feature in the future.

I was looking for a "bug out" enclosure so I could quickly and without hassle, grab the printer and enclosure and go. This met those needs perfectly. It folds up pretty flat and isn't heavy. Unplug a few cables from the printer, pull the printer and phone out, unzip the whambam and pack it up! The WhamBam hotbox was the only real option that I found that met this criteria. It holds heat well. Printing ASA, I've measured the enclosure getting up to a max of 43c. It seems to have ports/cutouts everywhere you could possibly need them. My only complaint is I wish the thermostat was on the front instead of the top but I have one inside anyway so I can view via octoprint. I plan on adding an MMU to this setup so we'll see how it fits and functions.

It's a great light works well

I use the light bar in the Wham Bam Hotbox.
Since I use it this way, the straps hold it well, I do wish that it had a groove in the back for the strap to sit in. It is bright enough to only use 1 in the Hot Box.
