BIQU RGB Light Bar for 3D Printers

If you’re a 3D Maker who loves to upgrade your favourite 3D Printers with all kinds of doodads, bells and whistles, then you probably already have a whole bunch of custom prints that each provide a touch of functionality, style or aesthetics to your machines. However, if you really want to step up your 3D Modding game, then you won’t be able to pass up the opportunity to add custom RGB lighting to your favourite fabrication stations, so that even when the lights are off, your 3D Printers can keep on working in style, and that’s precisely why we love the BIQU RGB Light Bar for 3D Printers.

This awesome LED Strip is designed to let other 3D Printers enjoy the awesome RGB effects that the BIQU BX 3D Printer does, for custom RGB aesthetics in whatever colours your Maker heart desires. Furthermore, while LED Lighting is without a doubt one of the coolest upgrades you can give to your 3D Printer, the fun doesn’t stop there, and you can even use the RGB Light Bar in a more functional way as well, using colours to let your machine know when it’s warming up, getting it’s print on, or finished and ready for another task. And while this may require some firmware modding or a nice 3D Printer Motherboard that can support that type of functionality, for a 3D Maker who loves to mod, this is certainly a worthwhile effort to enjoy both RGB style and added functionality for 3D Printing.

Please Note: This BIQU RGB Light Bar is primarily designed as a replacement for the BIQU BX 3D Printer, but can be adapted to other 3D Printers. So be sure to check out the video below before committing, to make sure that you’ve got a basic idea of what may be required. Furthermore, be sure to check out our range of BigTreeTech Controllers, as many of these have RGB Ports, which are required to utilise these strips effectively.

Additional Resources:

Although we have to admit that installing an RGB Light Bar is not an easy task, and may require some specialised hardware depending on your current setup, we’re fortunate nowadays that there are a good number of resources that make this task a whole lot easier than it could be. One such handy resource is this Neopixel LEDs for the SKR V1.4 Installation Video by Makers Mashup, which covers a lot of the basics of installing an RGB Strip on a 3D Printer, and should give you a good idea of what you might expect when installing this unit on a 3D Printer other than the BIQU BX:

Although many people may not quite recognise the name, BIQU is a fantastic brand that originated as BigTreeTech, and began their journey in the 3D Printing world by creating motherboards and other electronics that were made to enhance the functionality, ease of use and overall capabilities of other 3D Printers. However, after gaining a firm popularity as some the leaders in 3D Upgrades, they have also now branched off and created BIQU, a brand dedicated to creating entire 3D Printers for hobbyists like us.

Compared to many of the brands on the market, what we particularly love about BIQU is the way that their models come fully equipped with all of the exciting BigTreeTech controller boards, stepper drivers and other awesome components that are typically installed into other 3D Printers as powerful upgrades. These include the popular SKR motherboards, the BTT TMC Drivers, BTT TFT displays and other minor (but still valuable) upgrades that are often installed on Creality 3D Printers, but since these “upgrades” come stock on BIQU 3D Printers, you can enjoy even more reliable operations and functionality due to the fact that their machines are built specifically with their own boards and components in mind. This has resulted in BIQU creating some of the leading 3D Printers on the market, which don’t need any upgrades or improvements to match the quality of leading brands, and with many of the BIQU models actually surpassing the quality and capabilities of most other Hobbyist 3D Printers on the market.

If you love the idea of upgrading 3D Printers with all kinds of fun and functional upgrades, but aren’t too interested in getting a basic model that you have to actually upgrade yourself, the BIQU range of 3D Printers is the answer, bringing excellent quality coupled with all of the current best features available to 3D Makers.
