Made a few backlit shadow boxes as Christmas gifts this year. It's pretty customizable so thought I'd share it.
It's a 2 part frame were you fit in a 1mm thick 240x120 plate with your silhouettes. The inner frame has a slot for adding a LED strip (10mm) around the whole frame (I only used the bottom). Had some barrel connectors laying around that I soldered to the LED strips
and glued it to the frame.
I printed the silhouettes on the plate by swapping filament mid print (M600) which is very easy to do in for example PrusaSlicer.
It's easy to change silhouette so I guess printing the frame and making your own is the way to go. Openscad file available.
Got the inspiration for this project from the user cheesmondn's many pieces of silhouette art, https://www.thingiverse.com/cheesmondn.
