CORE ONE Lightbar+

Light up your printer — and know exactly what your printer is doing at a glance.

The Zeeq Lightbar is a purpose-built smart lighting upgrade for the Prusa CORE One+. It provides bright, even illumination inside the enclosure while using configurable colours and animations to communicate the printer’s current status.

More than just a light

Connected to PrusaLink over Wi-Fi, the lightbar automatically responds as your printer changes state. Choose your own colours for startup, idle, printing, heating, cooling, completion, pauses and errors—or start with the included Zeeq Default preset.

During printing, the lightbar can display progress across the LED strip, making it easy to check a job from across the room.

Your printer, your colours

Every printer state can be customised through the built-in web interface. Choose a colour, test it immediately on the lightbar and save the result when you are happy.

Preset support makes it easy to switch between complete colour schemes, without configuring every state individually.

Clear print progress

While a print is running, the illuminated portion of the bar represents completed progress. The remaining section can be:

• Unlit
• Dimmed to 6% of the active colour
• Displayed in a custom colour

An optional animated wave and breathing boundary highlight make the current progress position even easier to see.

Smart brightness control

Set the maximum illumination level to suit your workspace, then let the lightbar reduce brightness automatically during periods of inactivity.

Time-based brightness and quiet-hour controls can further reduce illumination during the evening without affecting daytime operation.

Simple setup

After installation, connect to the lightbar’s temporary Wi-Fi network and follow the setup portal. Select your Wi-Fi network, enter your PrusaLink details and customise the lighting from any modern browser.

No cloud account or mobile application is required for normal operation. The lightbar communicates directly with PrusaLink on your local network.

Easy to maintain

Firmware updates can be installed directly through the lightbar’s web interface. Built-in backup and restore tools help preserve your configuration, while diagnostic patterns make it easy to verify every LED and colour channel.
