Battery Operated Lithophane Light Box
Description
UPDATE I: I have added photos of the bottom part of the box that holds 3 23A 12V batteries along with the slt files. This makes the LEDs much brighter the pic of the box on is in direct light when photo was taken. UPDATE II: This is my final design I made the bottom box to hold an 8 AA battery pack this is because it is easy to get AA batteries no extra parts and less soldering. There is a link below for the pack that I use. By using the 8 AA batteries there is ample amps to run the 54 LEDs in side the box now you can use a higher max thickness to get better looking lithophanes. I got the idea for this from another Lithophane box that was to use a curved panel and I wanted one that used a flat one so I made it. This uses a 100x80 mm flat lithophane made from Lithophane maker site https://lithophanemaker.com/index.html Here are the complete settings for Lithophane Maker Frame Options: Frame Only Lithophane Resolution: 0.2 Base Length: 100 Base Depth: 5 Base Height: 4 Overhang Angle: 50 Maximum Thickness: 1.8 Minimum Thickness: 0.8 Height: 80 Support Thickness: 2 Support Angle: 75 X Shift: 0.14 Y Shift: 0.14 Rectangle Scale: 1.0 Crop?: Yes Here is a list of the hardware that I used: LEDs: They are 12V but they will work fine on the 9V battery. I am in the design mode now to make a holder on the back of the box for a A23 12V battery it will be posted when it is complete. https://www.amazon.com/LEDENET-Double-1200LEDs-Flexible-240LEDs/dp/B00NHRFAQW/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=LEDENET+Cold+White+5M+Double+Row+3528+SMD+1200LEDs+Flexible+Strip+Tape+Light+240LEDs%2FM+Ribbon+Lamp+DC+12V+16.4Ft+%28Cold+White+Strip%29&qid=1597615868&sr=8-3 Battery connector and switch: https://www.amazon.com/Gn2u-Switches-2Solder-Battery-Connector/dp/B07JNNXC9N/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Gn2u+On+Off+Mini+Rocker+Switches+AC+6A+250V+2Solder+Lug%2Cwith+9V+Battery+Clip+Connector+Buckles+Pack+of+20&qid=1597615958&sr=8-1 Battery: 9V battery buy anywhere.
