Celebrate your roots and heritage with this bold tribute to Mexican pride! This layered LED light box features the stylized eagle and snake emblem of the Mexican flag—brought to life in vibrant tricolor: green, white, and red. A bold outer contour frames the iconic symbol with a clean, modern glow.

Whether you hang it in your shop, game room, office, or family space, this piece is meant to stand out and spark conversation. Let it shine solo—or as part of your patriotic wall collection alongside the U.S. Flag or Cowboys Star!

Two integrated keyholes make wall-mounting easy, and a slot on the back routes the USB LED power cable cleanly out of sight.

Added another print profile without the hanging holes, in my case I didnt need them.

🔧 Print Profiles

• 2 HD native – scale to ≈92% for Bambu X1C / P1P-S, Neptune 3/4, etc.
• Front panel: 0.20 mm layers (first layer 0.16 mm for crisp finish)
• Back panel: 0.24 mm layers (for speed)

⚠️ Tip: Calibrate Flow-Dynamics & Flow-Rate per filament—especially white. The first layer is your display surface!

🛠️ Assembly & Wiring (Step-by-Step)

1. Print both parts: The model includes a front faceplate and a back panel that snap together cleanly.
2. Insert the USB-C connector:
   • The faceplate has a pre-sized orifice (14.6 mm x 5.4 mm) that fits a USB-C female chassis connector.
   • Gently press-fit the connector into place from the back—it should snap in snugly and align flush with the outer edge.
3. Wire the LEDs:
   • Solder the USB-C connector to your 5V COB LED strip wires.
   • After soldering, cover the exposed contacts using heat-shrink sleeves for protection and a clean finish.
   • Secure the LED strip along the inner vertical walls of the faceplate using foam double-sided tape or the included 2 side tape in the LED COB strip.
4. Final assembly:
   • Once the lighting is secured and wiring is complete, snap the back panel into place.
   • Use the built-in keyholes to mount it to your wall, plug in a USB-C power cable—and enjoy the glow!
