A printer enclosure solves a lot of problems, but among them is definitely not lighting for your printer. I struggled with mine for a couple of weeks before finally deciding to install super inexpensive LED lights. I didn't want them to aim directly inwards, though, but reflect off the shiny interior, preferably the sides and top.

This is my solution. I built it first in Fusion 360 (the orange one is that model, the blue one is the present one) and then rebuilt in Open SCAD to accommodate any LED strip and enclosure support tube size.

Full comments in the SCAD file. This is the (giant) enclosure and simple USB LED strip I used for the included STL:

Installation note: pop each clip in towards the middle of each side and back, where you can push the fabric further away. Then slide the clip towards the location that you need it.
