Description

I grew up with a TurboGrafx and really wanted a sign I could proudly hang in my office, so to the few of you out there that feel the same way, enjoy!

Materials needed:

Hot Glue

LED strip of your choosing, trimmed to fit

Screws

Instructions:

Print the Light Box FIRST to see how big you can get the entire thing. I printed at 170% scale which was 246x186x34 (Bambu P1P).

1.) Print all files separately in their corresponding colors, I used black PLA for the light box and the black letters, orange/clear/green PETG for their corresponding letters/numbers.

They should all be press to fit, but may require a little sanding/trimming if your printer isn't as accurate as mine was during the process. Also keep in mind if printed at small scale it may not be as easy to assemble.

2.) Once the main plate is fully assembled, I dabbed small amount of hot glue around the borders to keep them from shifting, but didn't see a need to put any glue for the lettering as they fit very tightly.

3.) Run your LED strip through the bottom hole, then attach either with hot glue or adhesive to the inner wall as shown. (I wrapped my LEDS twice around to make it nice and bright)

4.) Place the plate inside the base, it should catch on a small lip inside the base to keep it flush. Then dab small amounts of hot glue around the edge to keep it in place as shown.

5.) Place two screws in your wall on a level line, about 3 inches apart, then simply place the sign on them (the back lip should catch).

6.) Enjoy!

 

I've included a smaller box that does not use the orange border if you want to make a larger sign but don't have the real estate on your printer. You can also just make the sign without the box and display that alone.
