Model

Introducing the Waluigi Light Box: A captivating tribute to the iconic Waluigi from the world of Super Mario. This 3D model embodies the adventurous spirit of the taller, green-clad Mario brother, capturing Waluigi in his signature pose, ready for action. Every detail, from his distinctive cap to that friendly mustache, is meticulously crafted. When illuminated, the lightbox truly brings waluigi to life, making it a must-have for gaming enthusiasts. Let this warm, nostalgic glow evoke the magic of countless adventures with Waluigi in the Super Mario universe.

If you don't have or don't want to install LED's you can just glue the parts together and have an awesome sign!

WARNING!

- remove purge line at the beginning of the print!

Materials and tools:
- glue gun
- aluminum tape
- led strip (here is the one I use): simple 1m white led USB

- soldering iron (optional)

RECOMMENDATIONS

- use a textured PEI sheet
- use the print profile, it has quite a few setting changes that help achieve the best results
- use the aluminum tape on the inside of the backplate to help with light diffusion
- glue the LED's the further away from the colored design possible; placing them too close ruins the diffusion and the individual LED's become visible

Bambu Studio Settings:
I always recommend using the print profile I provided since it has settings with which I've been able to get the best results.
If you choose not to here are the main slicer settings I recommend:
- preferences (ctrl + P) → activate developer settings → Quality →Advanced → First Layer Flow Ratio: 1.04
- Quality → Wall generator → Arachne
- Quality → Wall transitioning threshold angle → 50º
- Strength → Advanced → Infill/wall overlap → 20%
- Quality → Advanced → Avoid crossing walls
- Increasing retraction / reducing temperature can help reducing wisps
- Order color printing from lightest to darkest color
