Glued the piece that came out of the top slot to keep the insert straight (next time I will add an additional middle layer that fits in the middle of the box horizontally with a slot for a better guide for the sign insert to stay straight)
The edges of the ends of the box, where the smoke darkened it slightly makes it look puffy, kind of like a cookie. Makes me hungry. Very cool project that I would like to duplicate when I get my Glowforge. Thank you for sharing it.
Very nice job! You showed that you used the red acrylic to make the leds red. So is the sign itself in clear acrylic? (Do you have a pic with the light off?) Again - great job!! (I think I need to “tighten” up my ventilation on my K40 before I try acrylic- from what I heard)
Nice!! I like the end product. I like the beginning steps - laser cut light enclosure with LEDs (white and red acrilic or red) then I’m lost until the Cap Morgan (white on black - and lit by red light streaming through the slot from below the Cap Morgan print?) Do you need dark ambient room lighting to have this effect? Laser cutting is for the light enclosure only? Excuse so many questions, it’s only that I like what you did so much that I do so.
Sorry…I did a light box before and showed the sign on that…hence the 2.0 in the name…lol
I’ll add the additional pictures when I get back to the office. This was from the first one with a different sign.
Here ya go @PlGHEADED, sign is clear cast
Instead of having alot different colored LEDs, I use the white and add a piece of acrylic to make what ever colors…I have lots of acrylic scraps to use so it works for me. Yes, the sign is clear cast acrylic.
His last name is Morgan and in JROTC, he was a Capt. so technically its his rank and name…
