No, just engrave one piece of PG clear acrylic. The file contains gradients (the dog) and small detail so it actually doesn’t translate was well into acrylic. I knew that going in though.
These are the LED strips I used. The connection is kinda bulky at the end and I made my own very basic LED base to accommodate the wires. I wanted the connection to come out of the back so I just folded the wires at a right angle and sandwiched them between the wood and acrylic in the base. Next time I’d add one more level to the base to bulk it up a bit.
