Jellycat store sign inspired lightbox

Jellycat store sign style lightbox

Bring some light to your Jellycat collection, with this simple lightbox inspired by the iconic store sign design.

The model is designed to be an easy print, hat works great both lit and unlit. An optional outer cover is also included if you'd like to give the sign a more authentic store-style appearance.

Please note that fitting the outer cover does slightly reduce the lighting effect, meaning the blue border section will no longer glow through once installed. 

Without the cover fitted, the full lightbox effect remains visible across the entire front panel.

Glow without the cover vs with the cover:

This is a straightforward print with minimal setup required, making it ideal for quick printing and easy assembly, it does however require the use of an AMS.

Before you begin

Having a clean print bed and hot end(s) free from filament is essential in getting that crisp, clean look. Here's some tips on what to do to get the best print possible;

Cleaning

Clean your plate first, following your usual routine. Dish soap works best, clean and then rinse thoroughly, ensure the plate is dry and free of debris before putting back in the printer.

Leftover filament residue on your hot end can cause unwanted colour streaks, which will show very clearly against the white parts of the print. Please inspect your hot end before starting the print, if you spot any clumps or leftover filament, follow Bambu's recommended cleaning guide to remove.

Printing setup

This print has been designed for straightforward printing using a 0.4 mm nozzle.

Main sign

• Print face down on a textured PEI plate
• PLA recommended
• No supports required

Optional outer cover

• Available on plate 3 in the print profile. 
• PLA recommended
• Designed to press fit over the main lightbox body

All filaments used are included in the Bill of Materials (only available to view on the desktop site) 

Lighting

LED strip lighting recommended, you can either use the Bambu light kit (linked) or your choice or led light strip and USB connector. I fitted the lights around the edges on the inside of the design, then applied some foil tape on the rear cover which helps to spread the light more evenly.

Troubleshooting

Model Doesn’t Match Preview / Wrong Colours / Odd Layout / Dots instead of lines or shapes

If your model looks misaligned, missing colours, or prints incorrectly, please make sure you are using the supplied 3MF print profiles, not the raw STL or STEP files.

The 3MF files contain all the model specific tuning, including:

• Colour allocations
• Line width settings
• Print specific adjustments

To use them properly:

• Either click “Open in Bambu Studio” directly from MakerWorld,
• Or download the .3MF file and open it manually in Bambu Studio.

Avoid using the raw STL or STEP files unless you specifically want to rebuild your own profiles, they do not include the tuned print settings.
