Easy Swap Lithophane Shadowbox Frame with LED Slot and Micro-USB Support

UPDATE Added Front swappable versions! Now you can change it lithophane panels as you wish without pulling out a tool! A beautiful Lithophane deserves a stylish frame. This frame is made of 4 pieces, and supports lithophanes with 4mm wide borders 3mm or more tall and up to 10mm wide LED strips. You will need 4 m3 nuts and 4 M3x18-25mm screws. LEDs/Power supplies you wish to use are optional but recommended. I find that the newer COB 5v LED strips work really well here. I designed the micro-USB support around these boards one Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QJLWDLJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). There are several others that look nearly identical and should work as well. I added two holes for M3 heat-set-inserts for the back facing USB connector and you will need a couple of short M3x8 or less screws for that one. The side mounting option does not require screws or inserts. The back allows hanging and if left off or printed in a translucent material (Zyltec Milky White is perfect) will allow natural light to illuminate the lithophane inside without LEDs while still looking very polished. Multiple common sizes are included, but if you need a specific length, please message me and I will add those STLs to the collection. Please note that measurements are for the lithophane extents, not the frame which will be 14mm longer.
