Shadow on the wall

Dark = shadow cast by the printed panels. Amber = part of the figure where light leaks. The dark box with the glowing LED is the lamp itself.

Print and build notes
  • Print in black or dark PLA/PETG so the panels block light fully. Panels print flat, stencil face up is the inside.
  • Stand the panels around the floor rim: top and bottom are the long ones, left and right fit between. Glue the corners and hang by the hole near the top.
  • Put a 5 mm warm-white LED in the socket at the top of the tube and wire it down through the floor.
  • Print the box picture plate in black and glue it on a light floor.
  • Thin struts hold floating pieces and show as thin radial lines in the shadow.
