Wicked Witch's Hat Display / LED Backlit Accent Piece

Bring a magical Halloween glow to your desk, shelf, or mantel with this tabletop LED witch's hat display! Featuring a classic crooked witch's hat complete with buckle detail and flame-like cutaways, this piece casts an eerie glow day or night.

This model offers two distinct faceplate options:

• Standard Cut-Through Version: Features a solid 0.1875″ front face with open cutaways, perfect for direct backlighting and sharp silhouette contrast.

• Lithophane Dual-Glow Version (V2): Features an ultra-thin 0.0314″ (0.8mm) face layer. When illuminated, bright light shines through open cutouts while scattering a soft, ambient glow across the face of the hat!

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 (Standard vs. Lithophane V2): Choose between the solid 0.1875″ cut-through face or the V2 lithophane version with an ultra-thin 0.0314″ shell for a dual-glow effect.

• Precision Fit & Wire Management: The base features built-in alignment insets and tabs to securely slot the 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 Shield (for V2): Includes a matching backplate that fastens with standard hardware using pre-modeled mounting holes to direct light forward and hide wiring.

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