Christmas Shadow Box Display

I was in the holiday mood and wanted to make a decoration for my home so I came up with this. I made the electronics box big enough any electronics you wish to use to light up the display should fix. I personally used a NeoPixel LED Strip with an Arduino Nano and a 9v battery. All the electronics actually came from the Alien3D Nov subscription box.

Assembly:

Video of lights Fading:

Print instructions

Print all the layers flat, and the electronics lid. Print the box standing up. The front cover is printed with the top upside down on the bed. None of the parts should need supports.

I highly recommend to test your electronics before installing, and install the lights you will use first. There is am opening on the bottom to put the wires through to the electronics box.

I have included the code I used to make my lights fade between colors at the bottom of the post or you can visit:
https://adrianotiger.github.io/Neopixel-Effect-Generator/
and then you can create your own light effects.
