This is a remix of Ken's Curved Lithophane Box, which I like very much. The Changes I made in this remix:
- Micro-USB connector
- Added a "lip" at the front of the lid to match the design of the main box/body and cover a potential gap between the lithophane and the lid
- Increased the main box/body's internal height to 75.5mm to better fit a 4:3 picture (75mm height according to 100mm width) and still have 0.5mm tolerance
- variants without(v8)/with(v9) switch model KCD11 (smaller than in original design)
- Minor design changes to increase print-ability
In the original design's comment someone already asked for the "lid with lip". The lid of my design still fits the original box/body of the original design.
To make the USB port integration easier the design is based on a small microUSB breakout board. These are widely available on various marketplaces. The USB-Port/PCB can either be glued in or screwed in with two M3x6 screws.
As USB provides 5V I used 5V LED stipes to not have to change/adopt the voltage. Ideally it has the LEDs mounted relatively close to eachother what allows 4 LEDs per side (see picture) and offers a real good brightness.
USB "GND" connects to LED "-"
USB "VBUS" connects to LED "+"
Please review the good documentation of the original design about how to print the lithophane, box and lid!
Just like DCRobotics I added Fusion 360 project file (*.f3z) for anyone who might want to edit/remix it.
BOM (= Bill of Materials = things needed):
