I have a FlashForge Creator which is 99% a knock off of the Makerbot Replicator 1.

I just installed LEDs to light up the chamber, and the first two prints I tried after installing the LEDs they both froze while laying down the raft.

I used two LED strips I bought from an autoparts store that are rated for a 12v system. After reading that the best place to tap into for power was the fan - which I found mine to put out 24v - I ran the two LED strips in series to create a 12v drop across both.

The LEDs work fine, but could they be causing the machine to freeze up?
