What I plan to add to the printer which is special from others!
- Filament run out sensor
- Custom lighting under the extruder
- Since most of the printers are mostly like a machine which has to just print things I am planning to add a user interactive game in the printer itself with the touchscreen!
- Automatic nozzle cleaner with silicone pads

Questions
How big is the Lighting for printopus PCB?
It measures 230 × 17.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Lighting for printopus use?
19 parts, built around the WS2812C and 6.3YXJ1000M8X11.5. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Lighting for printopus KiCad files?
From the scattercat-123/Printopus repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb files/Lighting for printopus.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb files/Lighting for printopus.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Lighting for printopus design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask scattercat-123 before reusing the design.
