Large Gelatinous Cube Lithophane Display

The idea started from a wonderful model by Printed Encounter.  

Created for a fan of gelatinous cubes so she could display her favorite lithophanes backlit in a green glowing cube.  A one time print for me that took a few months of trial and error.  Printed before the Input Shaper was available and learned the hard way not to use the default grid infill! (80% complete and a nozzle smacking layer shift ruined two 48 hour prints)

The light box is a simple USB-C wall wart powered set of LEDs wired together and the light box glued to the inside base with a diffuser panel.  If I do it again i will just use LED stripping and change the lightbox to have a channel to slide that into. 

Parts I used:

• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YCJCRB4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

There is a lot I would fix if I were to do this over again:

• Allow supports through the base (the angle of the support from the open face was dicey)
• Use LED strips instead of LEDs
• Put the holes in the model for the USB port instead of drilling afterward
  • I was very early in my design skills and used TinkerCAD to import and export until I had what I wanted.
• Fix the depth on the slide slots for the lithophane open side, needs to be tight, but should be deeper

Not my proudest work but I was asked to post this model.
