Use translucent filament for the diffusers and ppaque filament for the other parts. Print with usual parameters for Voron parts. There are tight tolerances between the diffusers and the front body so depedning on how your printer is tuned there might be some filing necessary. Two case bodies are provided, one for FHCS screws and one for SCHS. SHCS is slightly thicker in order to fit the screw heads without touching the LEDS.
Put the diffusers in the front part, and then put the LEDs from the cut RGB LED strips on top
The front part with diffusers act as a soldering jig, you can solder the wires now if you want them on the back of the LEDs.
If you prefer having the wires on the front of the LEDs, stick the support plate on the LEDs, remove the support plate with the LEDs and solder the wires.
Use the M3 T-nuts and screws to set the case on the front 20x20 extrusion of the ERCF. Mind the orientation of the part, the case is not centered on the 20x20 extrusion, it is mounted slightly low to avoid any friction with the selector assembly.
Finally, snap everything together. Don't forget the support plate, it will keep the LEDs tight against the diffusers and prevent any short circuit with the screw heads. The support plate will require some effort to be pushed in, this is voluntary.
