Mother's Day

Celebrate Mother's Day with this beautiful lightbox. The design features a touching silhouette of a mother and child surrounded by a rose stem forming a heart, with the inscription "Happy Mother's Day!".

This model has been carefully designed and tested to provide a flawless rendering, without light leakage, thanks to a solid casing and optimized printing parameters.

I configured this profile for a Bambu Lab P2S with a 0.4mm nozzle.

• Quality:
  • Layer height: 0.20mm (Standard).
  • Extrusion width: 0.42mm for optimal precision of the silhouette details.
  • Seam position: Aligned (to hide seams on the frame edges).
• Strength & Shell:
  • Walls: 2 walls.
  • Top layers: 5 layers (100% density) to avoid unwanted transparency on the top.
  • Infill pattern: Rectilinear at 20%.
• Speed: * Profile optimized for the P2S (up to 200mm/s on outer walls and 300mm/s on inner walls) for a good balance between speed and surface quality.
• Adhesion & Supports:
  • No supports required: The design is self-supporting.
  • Brim type: No brim (if your build plate is well cleaned, the surface is sufficient for good adhesion).

Required materials:

• Filaments: * Black PLA (for the frame and silhouette details).
  • White or translucent PLA for the base of the plate.
  • Possibility of using Red/Pink PLA or using the layer color change technique for the gradient.
• Electronics:
  • LED strip (5V or 12V depending on your preferences).
  • A cable routing is provided at the back of the casing.

Assembly instructions:

1. Print the frame and the front plate.
2. Install your cob LED strip in a spiral inside the casing (see photos).
3. Pass the cable through the designated opening.
4. Clip or slide the front plate into the frame.
