Peranakan Book Nook - Bambu Lab Backlight LED

Peranakan Book Nook – Introduction & Build Instructions

Introduction

This Peranakan Book Nook is a charming miniature inspired by the distinctive architectural style of traditional Peranakan house entrances. It is designed to be easily 3D-printed and simple to assemble! With layered inserts, a glowing LED backlight, and detailed laser-cut windows, this book nook recreates a traditional Peranakan home - right between your books.

What You Need

• 4× M3×10 screws
• 1× Bambu Lab LED Backlight Panel
• 3D-printed parts (from the included .3mf file):
  • Outer Frame
  • Floor
  • Plant Insert
  • Chair Insert
  • Flower Insert
  • Diffuser Insert (print this in an opaque filament—translucent colors will not diffuse or tint the light properly!)
• Laser-cut parts:
  • Front Wall Insert – Left
  • Front Wall Insert – Right
  • Peranakan Window

How to Print

1. Open the provided .3mf file and print all included 3D parts.
2. Diffuser Insert:
   • Use an opaque material.
   • Avoid translucent filaments—they let too much light through and won’t color or soften the lighting correctly.
3. All other parts can be printed in your preferred filament and color.

1. Install the LED Backlight

Insert the Bambu Lab LED Backlight Panel into the outer frame.
(You can find the LED panel in the “Maker Parts” section of the listing.)

2. Attach the Front Wall Panels
