3D Night Light Base

This is a base used to hold a 3mm thick acrylic plate for a 3D night light. The opening on the top is 28 mm wide and the recommended depth is 10mm.

NOTE: This is just a base, does not contain the acrylic part.

Assembling the parts

1. Print both the bottom and the top parts.
2. Use a soldering iron to insert brass threaded inserts to the top part. The model is designed for M3 screws.
3. Add 3 segments of a LED strip to the base. (You can use 1 or 2 segments if you don't want the light that bright.)
4. Use M3 screws to screw the top and the bottom part to each other.

Creating the acrylic plate

Design a pattern for the acrylic part and scale it so the mounting width does not exceed 28mm. Use a jigsaw to cut the outer form from a 3mm acrylic plate, then a rotary tool (e.g. Dremel) to carve the pattern.
