This is a customizable thing, where you can print your own retro lightbox. These boxes normally costs >20 bucks, a printed one costs me about 5 dollar.

I’ve also added the two lightboxes as .stl files each with two different fonts that I’m using in the first picture.

The lid as well as the letter plates are chamfered. So you are able to slide the letter plates into the rails of the lid. After that you can slide the lid into the rails of the box. This ensures that these parts don’t fall out.

Customizable Settings

Use the Customizer or OpenSCAD to create your own customized retro Lightbox.

You can set:

• length, height and width of the box
• number of lines
• 2 different fonts: Siren Stencil (the little box in the picture) and Stardos Stencil (the big box)
• round edges of the lightbox
• size of the hole on the back, to insert your led light
• different thicknesses of the lid, letter plates and box

Light sources

I’ve ordered following lights from Banggood:

For a small lightbox:

• 10 LED with 2 AA-cell case (thats in my little lightbox): https://goo.gl/Hhj7Jh

For a medium lightbox:

• 1m LED strip with a switch and USB connector (thats in my big lightbox). I use it with a USB power bank: https://goo.gl/FazfhM and the power bank: https://goo.gl/jeEBAv
• 20 LED “snowman”. It has a 3 AA-cell case: https://goo.gl/8AEiPD

For a big lightbox:

• 2m LED strip USB powered: https://goo.gl/MWZb9k

• You can create a cone, cylinder, cube, sphere, pyramid, star, flower and a dodecahedron shape. These are only the shapes I could find, but there are much more shapes to discover.
• You can customize different sizes and the hole for the bulb bracket.
• You can create a lamp shade as a ceiling lamp or a desk lamp or for a different purpose like a nice bowl or a vase.
• You can view some examples in the pictures above.

You can use the Thingiverse Customizer or OpenSCAD to create your lamp shade. If you need a more detailed preview of the lamp shade, I recommend you using OpenSCAD. The Scad-File is well documented to using it in OpenSCAD.

The light blue lamp socket, that I’m using together with this lamp shade is this silicone one with a long sleeved cable (picture 1 and 2). It is available in different colors: https://goo.gl/4Lx9Ux
The diameter of the bracket is 42mm.

I recommend you to use LED light bulbs, otherwise the lamp shade could melt. For the setup in the picture, I use 3x 2W Osram filament bulbs. This equals in total a 75W bulb.

Please share your customized lamp shades to the community! I would love to see them!
