I started out making a lightbox in Fusion 360, but I ended up making a tealight holder instead. You could of course use any light source you want. I would NOT recommend a burning light inside of this! (I tested it and eventually it gets too hot)
This is a more colorfull version of my model:
Design:
Standard tealight size
NOTE:
- The better you have tuned in your first layer settings, the better this will look. The profile I have included in my model is tested thoroughly and many models got thrown away before I was satisfied. You could print this faster but I think that would compromise on quality
- I would recommend to have a clean bed and a clean nozzle before printing this type of model.
Some important settings I use:
- Layer height - 0.2mm
- First layer line width - 0.34
- Arachne mode ON
- First layer flow ratio 1.02 (if your model comes out with gaps in the front, you could increase this value or calibrate your filament flow)
- Infill wall overlap 25%
- Speed:
- First layer – 50mm/s
- First layer infill – 50mm/s
- Outer wall – 200mm/s
- Inner wall – 50mm/s
- Infill/top – 250mm/s
