About this 3D model

I had a lot of fun making this one! This isn't your typical lightbox, for this project I used 16' of smart RGB fairy lights. They are fairly inexpensive and some might say the quality isn't all that great, but I have made about 8 of these and the lights have worked every time. These are the lights I used from amazon, https://shorturl.at/kmMV1, but feel free to replace it with any of your choice. The lights come with an app, although a bit rough, it has many different light modes making it look like a different piece every time! Materials needed: Black PLA of your choice White PLA of your choice Red PLA of your choice (or any other color) Green PLA of your choice (or any other color) Hot glue gun Super glue (I use 3D Gloop) 16' of RGB Fairy Lights Clamps (optional) Assembly: Start by feeding the fairy light strip through the back of the box, then use hot glue to secure the small controller close to the opening, making sure that the usb cable would be centered with the opening. This is where you start “webbing” the lights from wall to wall, making sure that the led diode falls right below all the white parts of the faceplate. It can get a bit tricky to arrange them, but the trick is to randomize them so that the rgb effect looks much nicer. Use a dab of hot glue to secure the wire to the walls of the box. I tried to avoid the led diodes from falling where there is only black on the faceplate, but these lights are bright so it doesnt really matter too much. After all the lighs are glued in, you can then use the plug to cover the opening behind the box and secure the usb cable. Go baack inside the box and add another dab of hot glue to the opening and the cable to secure in place. You are now ready to glue the faceplate onto the box. I use super glue with a precision tip to add a tiny bit around the lip of the faceplate, then I used small clamps to add pressure and have a seamless transition. It looks like a lot more work than it actually is, the whole process took me about 1hr not including printing. I would love to see your version if you decide to print this! Also, if you have any questions please feel free to ask me!
