How to make 3D Printed LED Letters sign (ft. BambuLab A1 Mini)

What filiment type did you use for the white caps?

Лучше использовать petg для основания, так как светодиоды могут нагреваться выше 60-70 градусов, что приведет к деформации.

There were so many unnecessary steps. Learn how to teach without mansplaining.

amazing bro
nice work!

Really cool! Thanks!

this is awesome! Thank you!

this tutorial was awesome ! I been using OnShape a little but couldnt figure it out to do this light box. So I installed Fusion and followed your video, after a few hours, I have a sign of my company name ! the only question i have is the seperation of the letters. How did you do that?

No what I meant is during print. You could not fit the whole sign on one plate, so how exactly did you split the sign to print in multiple plates?

What filament did you use for the caps? Was it clear or just printed very thin?

Is there a way to do this for an older gentleman who may not be tech savvy? Just learning how to use TinkerCad and this is a difficult tutorial to follow 😁 *asking for a friend ofc

Thanks for the tutorial! In addition to all the great tips in the comments about fusion360, I think you could also make the holes for the led strip as cylinders and then you might not need support at all!

Is there a way to copy the setting (changes made to one letter and paste it to the others instead of doing each setting on the individual letter? Does that make sense or maybe do 1 letter with the setting you want then simply copy it and past it then change the letter to the other ones?

Wow ! What a helpful vidéo ! I have a question, have you ever used round LED strip ? Also , can you give me mord info in the LED strip that your using in the video ? Best regards !

nice job! What's the best printer for a mid size shop? and price range? Thanks!

You know, as simple as it seems like it should be, Fusion is the most frustrating, non-intuitive cad/cam software I've ever used.

could anyone help me? When I extrude the letters, to fit them, in the extrusion when I select -0.40 for offset and -20.00 for distance, it cuts out my entire letter, leaving only the top of it, and the piece is not hollow.

Thanks For sharing Lukis!!!

Very professional video , specially for me as an beginner :)

Thanks ALOT!!!

if only all video tutorials were like yours: clean, straight to the point. Thanks!

Beautifully done ❤❤❤❤ Thank you

holy crap i must be stupid, i followed every step and still failed.

0 modeling experience. First time i tried your tutorial i failed. Had some peace in my head today and in 1,5 hours i managed to finish te tutorial. I think this is enough info for me to now make my own lightboxes and stuff.

Thank you so much!!

👌😎👍

I want to create something longer (12 letters), but it becomes 400mm length and the height is like 50-60mm which is very short. How can i make the letters higher? Please help!

hello! thank you it look nice! do you think PLA is the best choice to do this kind of sign? PLA is solid enough according to you for this kind of project?

Very helpful thank you.

What pla type you use so the light can pass through ???

Great tutorial, thanks!

can i make the text and line parts in vector app like coreldraw or illustrator and import de vector file svg in Autodesk Fusion?

And is there difference between normal led strips and the neon ones (fluid like light)) tribvtes from Germany newbsubscriber !

And what max. Power led so that heat will not destroy it? Or just make thicker pla print? Or pla+ enough?

Is the white filament standard white of transparent white?

Wow that seemed about as clear as mud. But I do believe that like doing many things just by watching someone else do it, it becomes easier once you actually do some hands on work. And eventually it all makes sense.

What do you do with the left over led lights like how do you power if you want to make another sign

First off thank you for the inspiration. I used your guide to create a simple single letter nightlamp for my oldest daughter first. That was a complete fail of my own doing with the cap where i had my 0.1mm printing in mid air at the second layer somehow ending up in printing spaghetti lol. After fixing my own error it came out amazing.

Next i challanged myself to make another sign including a Miffy face logo and my other daughtersname. This came with different challanges as some line didnt correctly matched up somehow so i wasnt able to select some faces. After hours of zooming in and troubleshooting i managed to fix all these errors luckily. Then the next challege came.. letter with a opening like the "D" in my case. I didnt realize i had to do the -0.1mm offset on the inner side of the "D" as well. Found out the hard way, but after fixing that it also came out great! Stil printing the rest of the caps and bases but it looks promising so far.

When I do the caps. The part where i extrude all the parts except the outer .1 , im getting a fail or I can’t hit “ok”. What am I doing wrong 😢

Also is it -.1 or .1 .
That part was kinda confusing

This is probably the best tutorial on the web, so thank you. I have spent 5 years using blender but was nervous to step into Fusion and this was the bridge that got me there! So thank you!

how did you get to print the front face of the caps in one piece? everytime i slice it. it slices it into sections

Lukis, after selecting the letters and pressing "offset" it will not select more than one letter during the overlapping step in your video, any ideas as to why?

Any tips on how to stop it from deleting the face when removing the unneeded lines from the sketch? Mine keeps having constraint errors that causes portions of the sketch face (shaded area) to vanish when I delete overlapping lines.

Tysm for this tutorial, even though I'd consider myself a 3d "intermediate", with lots of vector experience - fusion and cad stuff is fairly foreign to me and frustrating to learn. This was so approachable and a fun project. Appreciate ya.

I learned about four things I have been needing to find out, in this one video. Thank you Lukis!

Excelente video, una consulta las letras de color blanco a que grosor de capa le imprimió y los relleno a que porcentaje. Gracias

Great video, thank you. I made a couple of sign with a similar technique, but my problem us the face of the lettering or the lens. The biggers you go, ot the more corners are there the quality of the lit surface is not consistent. I am using a Bambu A1. Is there a trick froo how thick and what pattern to fill the topmost surface of the lens?

Thank for the tutorial, I'm struggling with letters like "B", "R" or "O" for the empty space inside the letters, when I delete the lines inside the letters it lost some links that prevent me to perform the extrudes steps correctly, or when I try to make a text with 2 rows to make a larger sign, same the links between get weirdly cuts when I remove inner lines. Do you have any advice to manage to print correctly a text like :
BROC
OPENED

?

Great Tutorial, I designed a name lightstrip for my kids and they love it. 
Just by curiosity, when you do the offset in the video.The first offset, where you ensure the overlapping, when you do it on the thumb it's a positive value "+10 mm" but, when you do it on the letter the same offset it's a negative value "-10 mm", however they go in the same extending direction. Any idea why there is that difference?

How long did this take to print?

Awesome! What Font did you use for the Japanese Sign in the Beginning? And what does it mean? :D

Hello sir thanks for the tutorial,I want to ask you,after I create this sign can I just change the text and the same settings stays the same
