I love seeing manufacturing and 3d printing in mfg settings. I work in mfg (not 3d printing, sadly).

This is a great video. Here is my best guess for the process, but I'm not a 100%

  • Use weird mouse to make design
  • Use a water soluble adhesive so the filament sticks
  • Clean up edges with a torch
  • Put resin in for stability and UV cure
  • Put color resin in for front look and UV cure
  • Put really cool LED tape on that I would love to have the source for
  • Hang

    This stuff is available from Amazon and probably cheaper on Aliexpress. I have a roll of white LEDs with a sticky backing, which is a lot like the stuff used in the video. I also recently ordered this stuff which is a UVA LED with a sticky backing. My plan being to try and pair it with glow in the dark PLA to get a nice glow effect.

    There are a few variety of that LED strip, and I use em for all sorts of junk. Just built a big backlight piece for my living room with maybe $80 worth. Look for WS2812 and you're on your way to multiple varieties using the same chips!
