Printing

You can totally use this Thing without LEDs. Interesting to know is that the entire thing can be printed without a AMS or MMU.

• You basically print out 3 parts: Base, back panel and front panel. They are all .step files so you can decide for yourself how to print it.
• The only relevant thing to mention is that the backplate should be in black, the letters should be the actual color of the letter and the base can be whatever. As for the material, you can use anything, I used PLA and it works well.
• You will also need glue to put the front plate on the backplate. I was to lazy to make a proper snap fit and was worried light might leak out of the gaps.

I haven't put any print files here because I haven't found the best way to print them yet.

Electronics

You will obviously need the usual soldering equipment. For the people interested in making it glow here are the electronics and so on that I used:

IF you buy something, please think about what you are buying because the LED filament comes in different lengths and cables in different thicknesses.

PD-Module

(You have to desolder the light-green thing on the module)

Switch

You will also need a 20W or 30W Power Brick and a USB-C Cable.

The PD-Module

I measured the different voltages on the different combinations of the module.

I used the 1-1-1 9V Mode (Measured 8.8V). This let me to make the Circuit like this:

NOTE: The Resistors are completely redundant parts. I just couldn't be bothered redrawing this thing.

Project File

If you want the project file, please text me. Its pretty jank and held together with duct tape, so keep your expectations low.
