Materials

Materials and tools required for this project include a glue gun, aluminum tape, and an LED USB strip. Additionally, a soldering iron is optional for those who may choose to use it.

Suggestions

1. Opt for a textured PEI sheet for improved printing results. 2. Utilize the recommended print profile, as it includes several settings conducive to achieving optimal results. 3. Create a hole for the USB strip at your preferred location, using a soldering iron, drill, or by adjusting settings in the slicer.

4. Enhance light diffusion by applying aluminum tape to the inside of the backplate. 5. When placing the LED lights, ensure they are positioned as far away from the colored design as possible to prevent diffusion issues and the visibility of individual LEDs.

Bambu Studio Settings

For optimal results, I highly advise utilizing the provided print profile. However, if you opt not to, here are the key slicer settings recommendations:

1. Navigate to preferences (ctrl + P), activate developer settings, then go to Quality → Advanced → First Layer Flow Ratio: 1.04 to 1.08. 2. Under Quality, choose Wall generator → Arachne. 3. Set Quality → Wall transitioning threshold angle to 50º. 4. In Strength → Advanced, adjust Infill/wall overlap to 20% to 25%. 5. Quality → Advanced → Activate "Avoid crossing walls." 6. To minimize stringing, consider increasing retraction or reducing temperature. 7. When color printing, order the colors from the lightest to the darkest.
