Okay check out my Blank LED Light box sign Template crafted for this contest.&nbsp;ZERO glue/screws required, everything just snaps together!&nbsp;I added a brand new stand to set it into if you're not using the built-in wall hook that can use either 2032 battery powered LED lights like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Powered-Operated-Christmas-Decoration/dp/B0852MD6HV/ref=sr_1_5?crid=ZQ5GUEZ262GO&keywords=coobatg+led+light+strip&qid=1699495713&sprefix=led+light+strip+coobatg%2Caps%2C356&sr=8-5" rel="nofollow noopener">this</a>, or one of the 3xAA battery box lights from Michaels or a USB powered cable via the hole//channel on the bottom to plug it in. Also standardized the white sign insert so it can be printed on the A1mini and updated the inner ring to match as well!&nbsp;The sign insert is 100% generatable through MakerLab.If you USE Make My Sign to create the insert:<ul><li>choose circle shape, change the size to 180x180mm</li><li>set Border to NONE or 0mm offset</li><li>set thickness of Base to 0.6mm to fit the inside lip of inner ring</li><li>add your text or SVG's and you're good to go!</li></ul>NOTE: make sure to keep your design 2mm away from the edge to allow for it to lock underneath the inner ring.&nbsp;Let me know what you all think!!&nbsp;UPDATED 12/23/24: added a deeper lightbox profile with a flat inner cavity, noticed that some LED were showing through due to being to close to the sign inset. Also included a new stand to fit the deeper box!

I wanted an AMS Riser that would give me amazing visibility into the printer through the top glass along with the ability to add an LED strip to light the print area up like the sun. So, I remixed this model to push the AMS back and added an angled surface to mount the LEDs to, with a cutout for the start of the strip and cable routing.&nbsp;Along the way, I also:<ul><li>Added a storage location to hold 2 additional build plates </li><li>Added an optional spool holder with filament guide (for printing TPU or from odd sized spools)</li><li>Maintained the shelves to hold the glass top open for cooling</li><li>Redesigned the assembly procedure </li><li>Kept the total filament usage under 600g!</li></ul>
