Lithophane with IKEA RIBBA frame and led lighting

thingiverse

I'm Hacking IKEA's RIBBA 230mm x 230mm to Make a Lithophane Frame with 12V LED Strip Lighting To create this unique piece, I'll need to follow these steps: 1. Crop the picture to a 1x1 proportion so it fits perfectly inside the IKEA frame opening, which measures 116x116mm. 2. Set my model settings according to the following specifications: a. Maximum size: 126mm (116mm + 2x5mm border) b. Thickness: 2.8mm c. Border: 5mm d. Thinnest layer: 0.8mm e. Vectors per pixel: 4 f. Base stand depth: -10mm (stand is placed backside) g. Curve: 0 I designed this project using Fusion360, sliced it with Cura, and printed the parts on my Creality CR10S. Here are the 3D printed parts: 1. Front frame: 231 x 231mm, thickness: 10mm 2. Centering frame with an opening for the base of the lithophane 3. LED lighting support frame for aluminum V profile, featuring guides for the wiring system 4. Lithophane of my grandkids (I used a picture of "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" as an example) Printing Details: I used white PLA 1.75mm from 3Donline for all printed parts. 1. Lithophane: 0.1 layer height, 0.4mm nozzle, 100% infill 2. All other parts were printed at 0.2mm layer height with 20% infill and a gyroid infill pattern 3. All parts can be assembled by press-fitting them without any glue 4. The total print time for all parts was about 40 hours, mainly due to the slow printing speed of the lithophane (20 hours) Other Parts: 1. IKEA RIBBA White Shadow Box Photo Display Frame 9X9 2. 5050 SMD LED Flexible Strip Light Lamp, 12V 50led/m, cool white 3. V-Style Aluminum Bar Channel Holder For LED Strip Light, used in lengths of 120mm 4. DC12 volt connector 5. Female/Male JST-2P Connector
