Mount the 5mm LED

If you don't have a PCB for the illumination, you can mount a 5mm LED instead.

The 5mm LED mounts to the lid of the condenser, not in the same place as the PCB.

For this section you will need:

Tools

1 #1 pozidrive screwdriver

Printed Parts

1 condenser LED holder

Electronic Components

1 LED assembly

Mechanical Components

2 No 2 6.5mm self tapping screws

Step 1: Mount the LED

Exploded view of the LED and LED holder

Push-fit the LED assembly into the condenser LED holder printed in the first step.
Secure the LED holder onto the lid of the condenser with two No 2 6.5mm self tapping screws using a #1 pozidrive screwdriver.

Step 2: Mount the diffuser

Fix the diffuser onto the condenser, as described in the main condenser page, omitting the board spacer and PCB.
Alternatively, PTFE tape can be used on the LED, as in previous versions of the instructions, instead of the diffuser.
