SANTA SHADOW BOX (Patreon)

***EDIT Oct 24th: The small snowflake on the moon was replaced with a bigger one (same as the other one) to prevent any printing problems.***

Good day my friends! Here's another christmas model for you folks! A nice, super cute, Santa shadow box!

Just like the other shadow boxes, this project doesnt need any support at all and with the right colors, you can almost feel the cold air of Christmas Eve!

The project is super simple, but you will need a bit of dexterity to glue the parts together. Because they are mounted on little pegs at the back of each plate, gluing them together is a bit tricky.

The best trick i have found, is to glue the stack of discs together (by adding glue to the end of each little peg) and then put a dictionnary on top of the stack to let it dry a few minutes. It was the most effective way to do it for me. Also, using a gel glue will help a lot.

When gluing, be careful to the orientation of each part. Refer to the front view of the assembly to see the orientation and placement of each part.

The assembly is very simple in reality, you will find only 3 views for the instructions, and one of those views is the final assembly... 😅

Note: For this kind of project, i strongly recommend putting more bottom and top layers when slicing/printing the parts. You don't wanna have some infill in the lighted parts.

That being said, here's my filament selection for this project:

-White: Polymaker - Polylite white

-Teal: Polymaker - Polyterra Teal

-Muted Blue: Polymaker - Polyterra Muted Blue

-Medium Blue: Polymaker - Polylite Blue

-Dark Blue: Polymaker - Polyterra Army Blue

Finally, here's the hardware needed: You will need (4x) M3x6mm screws and your favorite LED strip or Fairy lights.

So that's it my friend! Have fun!
