A light box with a thin front that diffuses the light and a raised name. With an LED strip inside, the background glows and the text shows. Choose the shape and text, see it in 3D and download the STLs.

  1. 1Choose the shape and size and type the name or phrase for the front.
  2. 2See how it looks in your colors and check the fit clearance.
  3. 3Download the STL (body and front on the same plate), print the front in white PLA and add the LED strip.

Front (diffuser): White
Text and frame: Black
Thickness and fit
  • A thinner front lets more light through (0.8 mm = brighter). A thicker one diffuses better and hides the LED dots (1.2 mm).
  • Clearance is per side, between the front's lip and the wall. If the front is loose, decrease it; if it won't go in, increase it.

Everything comes in one file, parts side by side on the same plate, ready to print. Only want one? Delete the other in your slicer.

Separate parts: body, diffuser and text as loose parts on the same plate. Colored OBJ: comes in the chosen colors, with the text on top of the front; Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer ask for the filament for each color.

Printing and assembly tips

  • Print the front in white PLA. It prints flat, smooth side on the bed and lip facing up.
  • Black text without a multicolor printer: pause at the 1.2 mm layer and switch to black filament. The surrounding lip also comes out black and becomes a frame.
  • The body prints with the back on the bed, no supports.
  • The front fits inside the rim and rests on a ledge. If it's loose, a dab of hot glue holds it.
  • Light: a warm-white USB LED strip (5 V), stuck to the inside wall, with the cable coming out the back slot.
  • Don't use a regular bulb or anything that gets hot: PLA softens around 60 °C.
