Subaru LED Sign (5ft)

Print Details 

• All pieces were designed to be printed on a Creality Ender 3 Pro or larger. (Minimum Bed Size: 220 x 220 x 250mm / 8.6 x 8.6 x 9.8 inches)
• Each letter is made up of two pieces, a base and transparent insert that the LEDs shine through
• Base pieces also have a clear insert to make the underline 
• Very large pieces (Ex. Letter "A" Base) require the boundary area to 
  be removed in Cura such that the full Ender 3 bed can be used. Here a helpful tutorial
• Two connecting blocks are used inside the bases to glue letters together
• Concentric holes between base and letter base serve as a glue point and 
  wire routing space
• Holes are included on the back of the base pieces which can be used for wall mounting

Assembly Tips

• Pieces were glued together using J-B ClearWeld Glue for Plastics
  • Recommended not to glue transparent letter insert in letter that holds the LED controller in case it needs replaced  
• 50ft of LED lights were used (could be done with less). 
  • If the plastic housing is removed from the LED controller the PCB fits in the right-most letter "U" perfectly. 
• Double-sided tape was used to hold lights inside letters
