Longcat and Tacgnol Lightbox

This was my first attempt at making a lightbox, based on shurdle3D's awesome tutorial video.

Import all the ‘face’ parts together and change the colors as described in the object name. “GitD” is my shorthand for “glow in the dark” as I'm trying to use up some old Hatchbox filament. The rest I used eSun PLA+ (black and warm white) for.

I printed at 0.20mm, and suggest doing so face-down on a textured PEI plate. The attached 3MF was made in Bambu Studio 1.7x and has all my other suggested settings (one wall on first layer, small first layer lines, extra flow on first layer, higher wall/infill overlap, etc) to really blend it all together. This is only necessary on the Face part, as the Base does not need the extra detail. The 3MF also makes the band on the side 100% solid by way of a height modifier for extra glow-in-the-dark goodness, you may want to change this (reduce the wall count from 3 to 2 and remove the infill) if you are just using white, as it may be dull if printed completely solid (making it solid at 2.4mm thick).

Assembly of the light was done with some leftover 12v COB LEDs and a spare 5521 DC jack that bolts in to the ∅10.8mm hole. I honestly don't recommend the COB LEDs unless you have a controller to run them at a lower power, since they get hot.

I put the DC jack hole on the side so this guy can stand upright on a table or be hung on a wall on a common thumbtack via the keyhole cut in the base.

I was working on an extendable version so you could print additional mid-sections to make them very, very long but I couldn't find a way to get the segments to join together without being visually horrible and also stable at the same time. Maybe I'll take another try at that in the future.
