Layered Bat Display Wall Mounted Version / LED Backlit Accent Piece

Elevate your seasonal setup or year-round gothic decor with this wall-mounted multi-layer bat display! Designed with overlapping sculpted parts and inset eye details, this model creates an eye-catching 3D depth effect straight off your print bed.

It can be displayed directly as a striking standard wall piece or upgraded with built-in LED channels for a dramatic backlit effect. For an ultra-clean halo glow against your wall, you can easily attach a custom-cut Plexiglas backer using the integrated mounting holes!

Originally conceptualized as a custom woodworking project, this 3D-printable assembly features precision alignment cutaways, split-wing print options for standard build plates, and built-in hardware keyholes.
