Office Light Box for Meeting / Recording / Etc.

I aimed to devise a method for alerting my colleagues when I'm in a meeting. I noticed that subtle signs often go unnoticed, so I sought to create a more obvious solution, leading to the development of this design.

The Print

Easy to print as it uses standard settings. I recommend PETG, but PLA should work.

The only required filament is the color WHITE for the diffuser print.
 

Print settings:

• .20mm layer height
• 15% infill
• No supports

Other:

• Flip the STL of the text print to have the groove UP!!!!
  
• Textured Sheet (optional, but I like finished look it creates)

Assembly

Easy to assemble. No glue, tape, or special tools needed. Scissors needed for LED cutting.
 

LEDs:

To match what I used:

• LEDs from Amazon - Lots of options for colors and modes.
• L shape connectors and clips from Amazon 
• Any LED light solution could work such as holiday lights, etc.

The LED layout:

I created holes in the top and bottom of the box to use 1.75mm filament to hold the LEDs in place. The length to cut is 70mm for what you see in the photo above. The LEDs come with a tape backing, which you can use if you don't want to use filament.

The light diffuser:

When printing the diffuser be very careful removing it from the sheet. I have two recommendations.

• Remove it from the sheet when the bed temp has lowered to 45c.
• Start from the short edge on one side and peel it slowly up to the other side. 

The text lid:

It just snaps on over the filter and doesn't require any screws, glue, or tape.

That's it! It should be ready to plug in and dazzle.  :)
