Celestial Cat & Crescent Moon Wall Mounted Display / LED Backlit Accent Piece

Bring an eerie, atmospheric glow to your wall with this wall-mounted LED cat and crescent moon display! Featuring a cat framed inside a star-filled crescent moon, this wall accent casts a silhouette day or night.

To complement the silhouette of the display, this model offers two distinct faceplate options:

• Lithophane Version: Keeps an ultra-thin 0.0314″ (0.8mm) shell across the faceplate. When illuminated, light shines through open star cutouts while casting a softer glow across the surface!

• Full Cut-Through Version (V2): Designed with a hollowed-out rear cavity, but features no outer wall along the inner arch of the moon. This allows light to spill directly onto the cat as if illuminated by real moonlight!

Display it directly as a wall accent or upgrade it with built-in rear LED channels for a glowing backlit effect. For a halo lighting effect against your wall, you can cut a matching piece of Plexiglas to the same shape and screw it to the back using the integrated mounting holes!

Note: The printable backplate (or a custom Plexiglas plate) is required for wall hanging, as it houses the mounting keyhole slot.

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:

• Flush Keyhole Wall Mounting: The included backplate features a built-in keyhole slot designed for #3 screw, allowing the entire piece to hang flush against your wall.

• Dual Design Options (Lithophane vs. Cut-Through V2): Choose between the translucent lithophane version or the open cut-through V2 model.

• Inner Arch Moonlight Effect: The V2 cut-through model omits the outer perimeter wall along the crescent moon's inner arch, letting LED light beam directly onto the cat figure.

• Plexiglas Halo Backlighting Option: Swap the 3D-printed backplate with a matching custom-cut acrylic/Plexiglas sheet to scatter a smooth halo glow against your wall.

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