Eye Of Horus 240mm Lightbox Lens

This model is a protective “Eye Of Horus” 240mm diameter art deco LED lightbox and lens with options for wall hanging or a desk/shelf base/stand if you prefer.

This version of lightbox lens fits my 240mm lightbox back and stand file. You need the lens and the back for a complete lightbox. Standard back and base available here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2168648-lightbox-back-and-stand-for-mzip-240mm-lightboxes A fancy base with customizable faceplate and rear power jack is available here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2147170-240mm-base-w-power-jack-and-separate-front-plate

The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, healing, and restoration. These days, who doesn't need a little protection, healing, and restoration? You need an Eye of the falcon god Horus.

These lightboxes feature a printed-in reflector in the back to maximize brightness of the lens design, a printed-in diffuser for the lens that mostly makes sure different color regions can't separate from each other leaving cracks or holes, a hooded hanging hole to prevent light leaks, a strain relief that has a slot to secure the power supply wire with a zip tie, and an optional base. I used all Bambu Basic PLA for my prints.

It's configured as a 4-color print and looks nice printed on textured PEI. If you have lifting, be sure your build plate is clean, your filament is dry, you can add a few degrees to build plate temperature, and you might try liquid glue (worked great for me). These lenses do print well but you need good adhesion.

Note On Commercial Use: You may print and sell this design with no license fee. Nobody is allowed to redistribute the actual files used to create the models.
