The Zombie Lightbox

He’s hungry, he’s green, and he’s ready to haunt your desk! This high-contrast, comic-style zombie is designed to be a bold centerpiece for any horror fan. At roughly 2 inches deep, this box has a heavy, high-quality feel and plenty of room inside to work with.
 

Printing the Undead To get this guy looking exactly like the photos, stick to the provided 3MF print profile. It’s already dialed in for the color changes and structural settings, so just load up your Green, Yellow, Red, and Black filament and let the AMS do the heavy lifting.

Bringing Him to Life Since the backplate is nice and deep, you have a ton of room to work with your LED strips. I personally used COB LEDs for a smooth glow. For a pro move that really makes the light pop, line the inside of the backplate with aluminum tape before sticking your LEDs down. I used the adhesive on the strip plus a few dabs of hot glue to make sure nothing budges.

Wiring for the Lazy (or the Pro) I designed a small exit hole at the very bottom of the backplate. If you’re a pro with a soldering iron, you can run your wires right through. However, if you’re lazy like me and don’t want to cut and solder, the hole is positioned so you can easily use some snips to notch it out. This lets you slide your wire in without any extra work.
