George Strait - Strait To Vegas - Las Vegas Sign

This custom 3D-printed sign is inspired by the George Strait, Strait To Vegas logo for his 2025 residency shows in Las Vegas. Designed to resemble a classic neon billboard sign, this sign features a pedestal stand and is backlit with COB LED lighting, creating an authentic glowing effect.

Design & Creation Process:

• Sign Design: Created using an image I built and then uploaded to MakerLab's KeyChain tool to generate the 3D model.
• Base & Holder Design: Designed in TinkerCad for a simple yet sturdy stand that securely holds the illuminated sign.

Model Dimensions:

• Sign Only: 150mm wide × 87mm tall × 30mm deep
• Total Height (Including Pedestal): ~145mm
• Backlit with COB LED Strip: A 16” white COB LED strip is lined along the interior to illuminate the sign.
• Power Source: Powered by USB cable, which exits from the back of one of the supports.

Printing Details:

This model includes two separate print profiles optimized for different parts of the design:

1️⃣ The Sign (Thin Translucent Panel)

• Created via MakerLab's KeyChain tool
• Thickness: 2mm to allow backlighting to shine through.
• Nozzle: 0.2mm nozzle for fine details.
• Layer Height: Optimized for clarity in the design.
• Material Suggestion: Transparent or light-diffusing filament (e.g., white or frosted PLA/PETG) works best for a glowing effect.
• Note: Not tested with a 0.4mm nozzle, but you’re welcome to experiment!

2️⃣ The Base (Sturdy Support)

• Designed in TinkerCad
• Nozzle: 0.4mm nozzle
• Supports: Required for proper structure.
• Material Suggestion:  I printed in PLA but a strong filament such as PLA+ or PETG could be used for durability.

Assembly Instructions:

1. Print both the sign and the pedestal stand.
2. Route the light through the hole in the support leg
3. Attach the COB LED strip to the inside perimeter of the sign, ensuring even light distribution.
4. Snap the sign into the pedestal, ensuring a secure fit.
5. Plug in and enjoy the neon glow!
