Photo Studio Light Box backdrop

Take professional-looking photos of your 3D printed models. This tabletop photo studio light box is seamless, providing an infinite background style without corners or seams. Print yours for around $14 in 11 hours!

 

I printed this in Bambu PLA+ white. For black or darker color backgrounds, using matte filament to prevent reflections or visible printing seams is a good idea. The background can be sanded and painted for a smooth custom finish of any sheen or effect. I am going to print one with matte black and sprinkle in some stars for an infinite space background! I'll upload the photos when it is complete.

All photos were taken with a Canon camera, but any phone camera will work. For the light source, I used the light from a window. (I don't have the right light at the moment, haha).

Note: Bed slinger-type printers may need to print a little slower to prevent vibration at the top of the print. Just monitor your model for any movement in the last hour and slow down your printer if necessary to eliminate any vibration artifacts. Since printing, I made the walls 2 layers thicker than my prototype and added a rib to each end of the background to stabilize the walls and prevent vibrations at the corners, and also for added opacity.
