Spooky House Display / LED Backlit Accent Piece

Bring an atmospheric Halloween glow to your desk, shelf, or mantel with this LED-backlit spooky house display! Featuring a crooked haunted mansion, jack-o'-lantern pumpkins at the entrance, and a black cat sitting on the porch, this tabletop accent creates a dramatic glowing silhouette day or night.

To complement the solid silhouette of the house, this model offers two distinct faceplate designs:

• Full Cut-Through Version: Features complete cutouts through the face, perfect for direct backlighting or casting crisp ambient light.

• Lithophane Version (V2): Keeps an ultra-thin 0.0314″ (0.8mm) shell across the windows. The design stays hidden as a smooth surface when unlit and magically reveals itself when the LEDs are switched on! 

Originally conceptualized as a custom woodworking project, this model has been fully adapted for 3D printing with precise tolerances, hidden wire routing, and customizable lighting options. Print it as a standalone desk accent, or use it as a physical template guide for scroll saw woodworking!

Key Features:

• Dual Design Options (Cut-Through vs. Lithophane V2): Choose between traditional open cutouts or the V2 lithophane effect, where a thin 0.0314″ layer conceals window details until lit.

• Integrated Porch Light Channel: Features a dedicated cut-out channel directly above the porch to cast light downward onto the cat figure, simulating a real porch light!

• Precision Fit & Wire Management: The base features built-in alignment insets and tabs to securely slot the house and pumpkins display upright, along with a discreet rear slotted pass-through to route power cords cleanly out the back.

• Versatile LED Backlighting Options: Designed with a hollowed-out rear cavity for mounting LED light strips. Choose between a standard base or an optional base with an integrated inset to run an LED strip directly across the base itself!

• Optional Rear Light Cover: Includes a matching backplate that screws directly to existing rear mounting holes, containing the light effect so it shines brightly through the front while concealing internal wiring.

• Woodworker & Hybrid Friendly: Functions as a physical template guide if you prefer cutting real wood for a hybrid build!
