Air Jordan Logo Lightbox

December 26, 2023
Description
This is a lightbox I made upon request.
I make these lightboxes with the front being the lid, this accomplishes several things:
- Less waste, if you end up with stringing or other imperfections in the face, it's less time and material to re-print.
- It's stronger as far as the colours melting together and creating weak points on colour changes.
- It allows you to place the light strips around the sides at the very back of the box to allow for more light diffusion and more even coverage.
- you can use more colours; you don’t need to have the sides colour (usually black) on the case.
Additionally, I add a full 0.2mm layer of white on the back of the face, this does a few things:
- It strengthens the areas of colour separation with a solid layer on the back
- It helps to diffuse the light a little better giving more consistent lighting
- It fills in small gaps in areas where the model may taper to an area smaller than the nozzle size and that will produce a void which the leds in behind will be very visible through.
I hope you enjoy this model; I will be releasing more as time permits; I encourage requests in the comments and will do my best to accommodate as time permits.
Materials used:
LED Strip - (choose non waterproof, I use 5m black) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805112069857.html
Controller - (choose 24key USB) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805742867945.html
You will need to do some soldering to use these components efficiently, I personally remove the wires from the controller and the light strip and solder 4 “header throughole" pins across from the controller to the strip to make it low profile and cost effective.
