If you like bling for your 3D printer, this guide is for you. Whether it be Marlin, Klipper or RepRapFirmware, you can control digital Neopixel RGB LEDs to add some colour. Neopixels are ideal for lighting the print area, informing of the printer status, creating mood lighting for a timelapse or just making a visual statement.
