Photo light-box

thingiverse

This is a compact box designed for holding five intricately created three-dimensional printed photographs, produced using advanced Image-to-STL software. To avoid overheating caused by inadequate ventilation, it's crucial to use only LED light sources. A 3-watt LED should be sufficient for photos with a maximum thickness of 4 millimeters and printed on light-colored plastics. The model features an original G9 lamp socket design that must be used in conjunction with low-power (less than 3 watts total) LED bulbs. It works effectively with 220-volt lamps, providing excellent electrical safety when assembled correctly. To ensure a secure connection, it's recommended to use wires of 1 millimeter thickness. When assembling the main frame, you'll need to print: 1 x Base 4 x Edge 1 x Top 1 x Top support 1 x G9 socket (you can replace it with your own, but you'll have to design a mounting system for the base part) In addition to printed parts, you'll require some basic hardware: 11 pcs. M3x10 millimeter bolts 10 pcs. M3 nuts G9 LED lightbulb Some wiring and plastic zipties to secure it onto the base part To prepare the photo, an Image-to-STL converter software was used. The total thickness of the STL must not exceed 4 millimeters, and the size should be 93x93 millimeters. You'll need to combine the converted STL with the Frame in your slicer to print a 100x100 millimeter photo that fits this light box. Alternatively, you can convert the photo to a 100x100 millimeter STL if you're confident that it has dark borders with sufficient thickness to hold its position.
