| Rectangular Wall Settings | ||
| Rectangle_wall_generation_mode | Rectangular Wall Generation Mode | Standing: Rectangular shadow wall is printed as one standing piece Flat Lay: Rectangular shadow wall will be unfolded flat on the build plate Overhang: Rectangular shadow wall will be unfolded flat on the build plate, with an additional 0.2mm thin layer at the bottom |
| Rectangle_wall_split_count | Rectangular Wall Split Count | Effective when Rectangular Wall Generation Mode is "Flat Lay" or "Overhang" 1 piece: The entire rectangular shadow wall is unfolded flat on the build plate |
| First_cut_position | First Cut Position | When the rectangular shadow wall is unfolded flat for printing, the first cut position can be defined |
| Second_cut_position | Second Cut Position | Effective when "2 pieces" is selected for splitting the rectangular wall If the same as the first cut position, only one cut is actually made |
| Rectangle_wall_overhang_Handling | Overhang Mode Handling Method | Effective when Rectangular Wall Generation Mode is "Overhang" Fills or wraps the graphic unfolded at the first cut position Fill: The generated 0.2mm thin layer only covers the inside of the shadow pattern, used when there are independent overhangs inside the shadow pattern Wrap: The generated 0.2mm thin layer will wrap the shadow pattern as much as possible, used when there are independent overhangs outside the shadow pattern |

II. Exporting the Model
Due to the use of an assembly view, after designing, the model can only be exported as a 3MF file, then loaded into Bambu Studio slicing software for settings
III. Print Settings
1. Supports need to be enabled for elliptical walls, custom SVG walls, and standing rectangular walls
2. Print configuration settings for "Rectangular Wall Generation Mode" set to "Overhang"
a. Select the file, cut it, set the height to 0.2, check "Cut into parts", click "Execute Cut" If prompted whether to fix non-manifold edges, select "No"
b. Select the lower part of the cut model, apply the following settings, and if the slicing preview shows no issues, you can print

Assembly Instructions:
Three types of solder-free light sources are provided, along with three corresponding light source brackets Assembly of the light source brackets requires a little glue
The first type: Magnetic-controlled light, which controls the LED light via a magnet The brightness is relatively low, suitable for small-sized shadow patterns
The second type: Button light, which controls the LED light via a self-locking button The brightness is moderate, and the experimental effect is the best
The second type: High-power light, which controls the LED light via a DIP switch The brightness is maximum, suitable for large-sized shadow patterns
