Personalized 3D LED Sign Lightbox - "FAMILY"

Add a touch of light to your space with this modern 3D Printed illuminated sign. Featuring a bold and captivating font, this project blends a classic black and white aesthetic with professional light diffusion.

Overview

This sign is designed for a two-material look. The main body serves as a robust light-blocking structure, while the white inserts act as light diffusers. The letters protrude 3 mm from the sign's body, creating an impactful 3D effect that adds depth even when the lights are off.

Features

• 3D "Pop-out" Effect: Letters protrude 3 mm from the frame for a premium, high-contrast look.
• Optimized Diffusion: White inserts are designed to be 3D Printed with specific settings to ensure a uniform glow without shadow areas.
• Versatility: Can be wall-mounted or used as a freestanding desk lamp.
• Clean Design: Internal channels pre-arranged for LED strips (5V or 12V COB strips recommended for best results).

It has rear holes for hanging and a closeable threaded side hole for routing the wire if used wall-mounted, or a rear hole if used freestanding.

Printing Tips

• Materials:
  • Body/Frame: PLA or PETG (Black or any opaque color).
  • Diffusers: PLA White (PLA Matte or White Translucent are ideal for maximum light output).
• Supports: Already positioned where needed
