Description

Build difficulty: Moderate

These are STL files used to create the 3D printed Star Wars Neon LED sign. Entire model is around 11 inches tall and 2 feet wide. Other materials used to build are listed below. I printed in multiple pieces and used a soldering iron to weld the pieces together.

Neon LED strips (Total length of lights is around 15.6 Ft so 1 roll should be enough):

12 volt Power supply (I have tested and both 1 amp and 2 amp power supplies work on the sign I built):

1 amp

How do you get the neon strip in multiple places? Do you travel the strip under the sign to get to different places on the sign or something? I have zero experience with neon signs!

great question. the back of the neon strip has black lines where you can cut it. you cut into sections to fit into the printed frame and then you solder wires to connect the strips, hiding the wires on the back of the sign

Thank you so much! That helped a lot!

thanks for the comment. yes it is a tough balance to keep it a manageable size overall and keep everything in proportion. I hope you are able to complete it and let me know if you have questions
