Flashforge Adventurer 5M (AD5M) LED mod accessory - buck converter MOUNT for inside back of printer (24v -> 12v inline, etc) v1.0

NOTE: as requested in comments (in Russian!) as of Sept. 21, 2025, this listing now includes a remix that covers up the ventilation hole while also provided a mount for the buck converter.

For adding LED lighting to the non-pro version of the Flashforge Adventurer 5 (AD5M), you must either buy 24v LEDs, or use a super affordable buck converter to knock the voltage down to whatever your LEDs on hand need. I had gobs of 12v LEDs in stock from previous projects. This LED mod accessory makes it easy to mount the buck converter inside the back of the printer, just above the main board, by using the screw holes on the upper of the two unused air filter fan tunnels.

Printed mount for affordable buck converter to use 12v LED's in your AD5M (or 5v LEDs or whatever).

Prints as oriented. Prints without any need of supports.

This mod leaves the air filter fan tunnel open, and it's possible that a mod to add a filter and fan could be used in conjunction with this mod (no guarantees).

Has 3mm stand-offs on the mount, to give a little air behind the buck converter's PCB to hopefully help with heat dissipation.

NOTE: this was made for these buck converters (affiliate link - adds nothing to your price, and may give a small percent to support my channel):
