My "Zero-Budget" Softbox for Professional Photos
I recently invested in some basic equipment to improve my product photography for my MakerWorld and Printables models. While the LED light panel I got is bright, the light was too harsh and created strong reflections.
Professional softboxes are expensive, so I decided to design and build my own using the tools I have: my 3D printer and some basic materials.
This project uses 3D-printed brackets to create a lightweight but sturdy frame for a DIY softbox. The walls are made from simple cardboard, and the front diffuser is a basic white fabric which is fixed with thumbtacks to the cardboard.
I hope this helps other makers on a budget to elevate their product photography!

- Hot glue or strong tape to assemble everything.
