Planet Express LED Lightbox

Wanted something Futurama-related for my office so I decided to give this a try. My profile also has a cut out for the light I used but this can be easily modified since I added it to the slicer. Enjoy!

Filaments used:

• Overture Matte White
• Overture Matte Black
• Numakers Fluorescent Green
• Numakers Nuclear Red

WARNING!

• Remove the purge line at the beginning of the print if you resize the plates!
• Don't forget to adjust the size of the part modifier if you will be using a different light or if you are printing from the still:

Materials and tools:

• Glue gun
• aluminum tape
• led strip (This is a link to the one I used)
• soldering iron (optional)

Recommendations:

• Use a textured PEI sheet
• Use the print profile, it has quite a few setting changes that help achieve the best results make a hole for the USB strip wherever you like it best with a soldering iron, drill, or in the slicer. My profile has one made to fit the strip I used.
• Use the aluminum tape on the inside of the backplate to help with light diffusion glue the LEDs at the back edge (bottom) of the "back box"; placing them too close ruins the diffusion and the individual LEDs become visible.

Bambu Studio Settings:
I always recommend using the print profile I provided since it has settings with which I've gotten the best results.
Here are the main slicer settings I recommend:

• preferences (ctrl + P) → activate developer settings → Quality →Advanced → First Layer Flow Ratio: 1.04
• Quality → Wall generator → Arachne
• Strength → Advanced → Infill/wall overlap → 20%
• Quality → Advanced → Avoid crossing walls
• Increasing retraction / reducing temperature can help reduce wisps
• ***If you have issues with color bleeds, change the order of colors, printing from lightest to darkest color
