This Nozzle Light for the Prusa i3 was inspired by Maximpulse's floating LED light (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2237352). It allows you to shine light directly on the nozzle so you can see your print as it is printing.

His version runs a USB cable from the extruder to an external USB charger. Instead, I used a 12V to 5V USB buck converter, connected it to the Prusa's main power supply using the spare terminals and made a mount to clip onto the side of printer's power supply. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2429603)

However, this still means you need to run a USB cable from the extruder and I found the cable was too thick to allow the printer to reach the top of the Z-axis (200mm).

**This version** holds the LED and the 5V converter in the same holder mounted on the extruder. The mount and hinge are combined and simplified so you can use the original fan screws and, because there is only one hinge, the light holder cannot be accidentally moved so it can hit the Z-s
