CUTE ROMANTIC LIGHT BOX (Patreon)

Good evening, my friends!

I'm here today to offer you a simple, quick-to-print, and incredibly cute little design!

As I often do, I created this little design to take my mind off the larger project I'm working on simultaneously. It allows me to recharge, to rest my head a bit when I'm stuck, or simply when I need a change of pace.

So, I created this little light box, both cartoonish and romantic, featuring two little lovers in front of the moon, just for you, my dear friends!

The project is incredibly simple! Really, really simple.

Plus, it can be lit in two ways: with a tiny LED strip (I chose a small piece of COB LED strip) or with a simple battery-operated tealight.

No parts require supports. No color changes. Nothing difficult to print.

Its a small light box, so the whole project is relatively quick to print.

Assembly is also super easy; just be sure to follow the instructions. There's only one instruction sheet for assembly, so I suggest you read it completely before starting to assemble. This will help you avoid mistakes that might occur along the way.

You'll need four M3x10mm self-tapping screws, the same ones we've been using these past few months.

If you opt for the COB LED strip, you can refer to the Christmas bakery project for the materials. I used a small piece of COB LED strip (only one section), a solderless connector, 22 AWG wire, and the power supply mentioned in this project:

No soldering is required, and everything assembles very easily.

If you're using a tealight, all you'll need is... a battery-operated tealight!

For the rest, it's business as usual; the STL files are named by color, they're already oriented correctly for printing, and a Bambu Lab project file is included.

For printing, go for a layer height of 0.2; there's absolutely no need to go smaller for this project, and it would just waste printing time.

Finally, for the moon, I opted for ironing on all top layers to get a nice, smooth, and uniform moon when illuminated.

And that's it for the project. Simple, effective, and no fuss.

The only thing I would change if I were to reprint the project is to make the backplate red instead of black. Even then, I have to admit I'm hesitant because I was afraid that having a completely red background would give the project a spooky look. But feel free to try it. Let me know what you think!

So that's it friends! I won't take up any more of your time, my dear friends, and I'm going back to racking my brains over the other project.

Have fun, my friends! Keep printing!
