Thanks for the support!
A simple lightbox made into the JWST mirror shape with a backlit print illuminated by LEDs. Everything can be printed with no supports. Prints great at .2mm layer height. If you shrink the file, the LED plug hole will be the only thing that wont work and you will need to drill it larger. It is around 11"x9"x5" when finished and on its stand.
Rough Instructions.
Parts needed:
(6) ¼" screws(or close). This is for the top ring.
(3) 1" screws(or close). This is to connect the stand.
(2) pieces of 0.093"/2.4mm acrylic. You can purchase any size as long as you can get (2) 10" circles. https://www.homedepot.com/p/OPTIX-11-in-x-14-in-x-093-in-Acrylic-Sheet-MC-27/202090111
(1) LED light strip. Most of the brands are the same thing so you can shop around if you want a remote/dimmer..etc.

(1) Backlit print. The print needs to be a really high quality image printed onto "Backlit Film".
I get mine from PosterPrintShop.com. The shape needs to be printed at 9.5" x 8.75",
this will give you just enough extra to trim to fit.

You will also need a jigsaw with a high tooth count metal cutting blade.(cuts acrylic easy)
If everything is good after this I recommend taking it apart and spraying it with a “stone texture” spray to hide the 3d printing lines. The granite one(pictured) looks a lot like stars.
