NieR: Automata - Black Box

thingiverse

I wasn't entirely pleased with other Black Box designs I came across online, so I decided to create my own from scratch. To allow for a color change, I broke down each side into individual pieces that can be assembled together post-printing. This setup enables me to have clear parts where LEDs can shine through and black parts to block the light without any need for priming or painting. One potential drawback of printing each wall flat is that the faces turn out rougher than if they were printed vertically. However, I found that a gentle sanding or chemical smoothing process can help achieve a smoother finish if it's worth the extra effort. If you have access to a multi-material 3D printer, you could potentially remix this design and combine all sides (except the top) into one piece to produce a more refined result.
