Recording Light - Vintage Style

thingiverse

This LED lit recording light is based on a vintage design I saw at an auction. The top, bottom, and side decorations are printed in Tianse wood PLA, sanded and stained with Minwax Dark Walnut stain, then protected with a semigloss poly. The front "RECORDING" panel is printed with a few translucent white layers, followed by two layers of red (swapping filament mid-print). It's lit with a single 3-LED section LED tape. If you print this, you'll need: 1 bottom 1 top two sides (they work for both L and Right) 6 decorations (if desired) 1 front 1 back The sides need to have support (build plate only) since there are alignment tabs, and I used 1 layer of dense support in S3D since I wasn't getting the results I wanted with regular support. I also made sure I set the offset pretty large since I didn't want to bust off the alignment tabs. To assemble, I glued the sides to the top first, then glued on the decorative strips. The bottom is designed to screw on with #4 cap head screws, 1" long. I adjusted tolerances to accommodate these screws, but have not tested the current design. I'm reasonably confident it will work, though.
