I couldn't find anything like this, but I needed a way to see what was actually coming out of the extruders on my Flashforge Creator Pro without using a flashlight. This is a simple piece, it clips onto the back of the dual extruder head and sits right above the print bed holding a strip of LED lights.
I only had 12V LED strips, so I cut two pieces and wired them in series, connected to one of the extruder fans. Strips are hot glued to the angled face with wires run up the side and cut into the wiring harness bundle.
A strip of 3m Foam Double Stick tape attaches it to the back of the extruder head.
I printed with ABS, 30% infill, .25mm layers and a skirt to keep it stable while printing. Should be easy to replicate.
Good luck! This makes viewing prints in progress so much easier.
