📦 Materials Used

• PLA filament (4 colors, AMS Lite compatible)
• 5V COB LED strip in warm white (60 cm, cut to fit) – https://ap.lc/NLacG
• USB cable – https://ap.lc/GwtXE (choose any length, mine is 100 cm)
• Heat shrink tubing (approx. 4 cm × 6 mm width)
• Solder + soldering tin
• Super glue (to seal the lightbox)

🧰 Tools Required

• Soldering iron
• Heat gun or warm air blower
• Wire stripper or cutter
• Tweezers (optional)

🛠️ Assembly Instructions

Step 1

Print all STL files in your preferred colors using Bambu Studio with AMS Lite for smooth multi-color transitions.

Step 2

Feed the USB cable through the hole on the back of the Pooh lightbox.
Slide the heat-shrink tubing onto the cable — but don’t shrink it yet.

Step 3

Pre-tin both the wires and the LED strip contacts with a small amount of solder.

Step 4

Solder the wires to the LED strip:
🔴 Red → +
⚫ Black → –
Then slide a 1.5 cm piece of heat-shrink tubing over the solder joint and gently heat it until it fits snugly.

Step 5

Test the LED strip by connecting it to any 5V USB power source (phone charger or power bank). Make sure it lights up properly before assembling further.

Step 6

Carefully place the LED strip inside the Pooh outline and press it firmly so it sticks in place.

Step 7

Apply a thin, even line of super glue around the outer edge of the lightbox frame.
Gently press the front panel on to close the lamp and let it set.

💡 Tips

• Works with any 5V USB power source.
• Warm white LEDs create a cozy glow, but feel free to use different colors for a custom vibe.
• Perfect as a Christmas decoration, kids’ night light, or charming handmade gift.
• Print bigger or smaller—this design scales well!

⚠️ Safety Warning

This project involves soldering and electrical components:

• Always disconnect power when soldering.
• Be cautious with a hot iron or heat gun.
• Only use 5V USB power — never connect to higher voltages.

• Indoor use only; PLA is not heat- or weather-resistant.
