Lightbox Instructions – “Kiley”

This lightbox was created on request, featuring the name Kiley. The diffuser is printed using two different light‑transmitting filaments—for example warm white and E‑Sun white. You can use any other translucent filament, as long as it is not fully transparent. Fully transparent filament removes the soft diffusion effect.

The heart is placed inside a closed compartment. Because of this, it can be programmed separately from the name section, allowing it to have its own color.

After printing, insert the LEDs into the holes. Once positioned, add a small drop of superglue between each PCB and the body. Allow the glue to dry completely. You can then solder all LEDs together—just make sure to follow the correct data in and data out direction.

For heat management, I recommend placing the Wemos module outside the lightbox.
