Neopixels for any 3D printer - Marlin, Klipper and RRF guide

If you like bling for your 3D printer, this guide is for you. Whether it be Marlin, Klipper or RepRapFirmware, you can control digital Neopixel RGB LEDs to add some colour. Neopixels are ideal for lighting the print area, informing of the printer status, creating mood lighting for a timelapse or just making a visual statement.

The TH3D products in this video were provided free of charge for the purpose of making this guide. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thanks to Bryan for requesting the web page for this guide. His SKR Mini board was apparently trickier than other boards and he recommended this video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ianwpYJVyUs
