Three easy, but great improvements to the Flashforge Creator, and possibly others.
1. Most IT and DIY people have old motherboards and CPU's laying around, put one of those heat sinks to good use.
2. Hate the location of the power switch? Move it. Cycling power on the printer just got much easier. 12/6/15: added switch guard to prevent accidental bump.
3. Add DC-DC converter to convert 24v to 12v to run some LED lights shinning on the print bed. I didn't want the lights on all the time, so I added a push button switch on the front panel. Since video, added more lights, it really lights up nice now.

I had to include an STL to publish a "thing", and I've been wanting to keep a couple of things inside the printer cavity like common hex keys (allen wrenches). Since this is targeting DIY'er
