📝 Description:
Add a vintage garage and iconic touch to your decor with this lightbox inspired by the famous Texaco logo.
Recognizable by its iconic red star and retro design, Texaco is one of the historical brands in the world of fuels and motorsport. Very present in the universe of old service stations and car races, it immediately evokes the atmosphere of vintage garages and paddocks.
This lightbox faithfully reproduces the logo to offer an authentic, bright, and timeless rendering, perfect for decorating a garage, workshop, office, or a room dedicated to automobiles.
The model is optimized for simple multi-color printing, allowing for a clean and faithful reproduction of the original design.
Two versions of the back shell are available:
- ✔️ a version with an integrated stand for easy placement
- ✔️ a version without a stand for wall mounting or customized installation
About the lighting:
💡 For lighting, I use this complete LED kit, simple to install and perfectly suited to my models:
👉 the USB Bambu LED strip kit is quite good, otherwise any type of strip is compatible
📦 For a clean and functional finish, I have also designed a cable cover compatible with all my rear shells, available for download here:
✨ Tip: To improve light diffusion, I recommend adding a piece of aluminum adhesive tape to the bottom of the box. The result is more uniform and brighter!
🧴 Assembly is done using contact adhesive, such as Bison (available at Action).
🛠️ Tips for perfect adhesion in 3D printing:
Carefully clean your build plate before each print. Grease residues, dust, or fingerprints can impair adhesion and cause detachment.
Check build plate calibration: a well-leveled build plate ensures a uniform and well-adhered first layer.
Use an appropriate adhesion surface: depending on your material, apply a thin layer of glue stick, an adhesive spray, or a specific tape (e.g., Kapton, BuildTak).
Correctly adjust the bed temperature to promote adhesion according to the material used (PLA, ABS, PETG, etc.).
Reduce the printing speed of the first layer: a slower speed allows for better adhesion of the filament to the build plate.
Plan for a “skirt” or a “brim” in your slicer to stabilize the first layer and limit warping.
