DIY LightBox - Swappable lightbox
This is a simple, easy to print lightbox with swappable panels ( 10cm x 10cm) (which you can make yourself)
Motivations
I create lightboxes mostly for me and for friends, when we want to have a new lightbox styling (new text, new icons, etc) we end up printing a new one. To reduce the waste I decided to create a simple model where we can swap the ‘faces’.
Nice facts about this model
- Built using Bambu Studio (without any external tool), it uses the objects such as cubes and cylinders (which are moved and resized to fit my needs).
- The ‘faces’ are swappable so you don't waste a box each time you want to change it's theme
- Holes and other objects can be removed / adapted for your needs with ease
Bill of Materials (BOM)
For this lightbox I recommend the 5V power module with batteries, you'll have a ligthbox you can install anywhere without requiring a power cord all the time :)
- 1 * Power Switch | On/Off Switch - Aliexpress
- 1 * Type-C Battery Module - AliExpress
- I prefer the 5V since it can be used to power USB devices, the one you choose must be compatible with your led controller and strip
- 1 * Led Controller - Aliexpress
- USB 28Key BT APP 01 or 5V USB Pixel BT APP (the first one has a remote, both have bluetooth and use 5v)
- 1 * Led Strip - Aliexpress
- 5V WS2812B RGB 3Pin
- 2 * 18650 Battery
- Hot glue (to glue the led strip if it doesn't stick by itself)
Assembly
- Mount the power button
- Mount the battery module
- attach the Led strip to the Led Controller
- Glue the Led Strip around the frame (don't cover the hole where the ‘front face’ slides)
- Solder one of the Led controller wires to the battery module
- Solder the other one to the power button
- Solder the other power button wire to the battery module
- Slide the front face
- Slide the bottom lid/cover
- That's it!
Feel free to make your own ‘front faces’ and publish them as a remix, if you feel this model (the box itself) can be improved please leave a comment or send a message.
