Information

      Since I love a lot 3D printed shadow boxes, I decided to produce a wooden one.

It is made of 8 layers and can be made with just 2 sheets of 3 mm basswood, super economical!

PS: in the second file you can find other different layers to choose from, and others are coming!

CREDITS: Flaticon. You can find the link of PNGs in the last istructions step.

You will see this 8 layers. On the right they are useful just to make the lamp thicker and allow the insertion of LEDs.

I suggest you produce one or two at a time to avoid problems due to wood warping.

I suggest, again, you produce one or two at a time to avoid problems due to wood warping. You can decide to produce more than 4 of them to make the lamp thicker and more stable.

 

PS: Do not throw away the remanining hearts, it would be such a waste! Use it to make other creations such us: https://www.designfind.com/project/33820-customizable-heart-with-cats

Step4: Buy the LEDs

Shorter LEDs strip is ok as well. You doesn't need 10 meters if you want to save some money.

Step5: It's time to glue!

Start with LEDs. Use the part with the big hole for LEDs cable.

To hide LEDs, I suggest you position all of them behind the area covered by the groom and the bride, as you can see in the uploaded picture. Use hot glue!

Step6: Now glue all the other parts

ORDER: My suggestion is the place the 4 parts (nome) rightly above the LEDs and then the other 3 parts (hearts, birds, groom and bride) lastly.

 

Use universal glue or glue for wood. Hot glue could be difficult to manage.
