We Used Fusion 360 To Design The Base And Vectric Vcarve Pro For The Engraved Designs On The Acrylic. To Make: 3D Print Or Cnc The Base (Upper And Lower). Note: If 3D Printing You Can Do It As One Peice (Though You Need To Solder The Led Strip After Passing The Wire Through. We Used Mdf For The Initial Version And Ultimately Ended-Up Using Aluminum For The Rest. Materials Needed: 1) Material For Base (3D Print: Abs/Pla Cnc: Mdf, Wood, Aluminum, Etc. ) 2) Led Strip & Controller (The Kind You Can Cut And Solder Are Easy To Find And Inexpensive) 3) 13"X13"X0.5" Cast Clear Acrylic (Local Or Online Plastic Store Such As Tap Plastics Will Carry These). Tip: Mirror Your Text/Graphics So You Can Engrave From The Backside Of The Acrylic, This Will Look Cleaner When Viewed Front The Un-Cut Side! The Transparent Material Is 13"X13"X1/2" Cast Clear Acrylic From Tap Plastics. The Sign Was Etched Lightly With A 1/16" Router End Mill Bit On Our Cnc Benchtop Pro Machine. (Gcode Included Here).

Would Look Nicer If You Made It Out Of A Hardwood, Next Time We Make Some We Will Probably Use Bamboo. Lights Are The Typical Led Rgb Reels W/Programable Controller Cut To Fit (~13") And Glued Down To The Base.
