Personalized Lightbox Wall Sign

3D Printing · In this workshop piece, I built a personalized RGB LED lightbox sign designed as wall decor. The process started in Autodesk Fusion, where I modeled the letter forms, internal cavities, LED channel, and cable pass-throughs before touching the printer. I then printed demo letters to test the real scale, readability, diffuser behavior, and electrical routing on physical parts. After those checks, I moved to the final 3D print and reviewed the inner surfaces so the light could spread more evenly while the wiring stayed hidden. In the last stage, I mounted the RGB LED strips inside the body, soldered the electrical connections, and tested the color modes with the remote controller. The finished piece is a personalized wall decoration with remote control and color-changing RGB lighting.

The workshop page is where I collect personal notes on 3D projects, drawings, design explorations, prototypes, and making processes. I plan to share how digital ideas turn into physical objects, experiments with modeling and 3D printing, visual design work beyond interfaces, and practical notes from creative production. Shaped by my frontend architecture and UI/UX background, this space will grow as a workshop journal about the relationship between design, technology, and hands-on making.

Let's make your interface clearer, faster, and easier to use.

We can simplify the scope together, then talk through the user flow and the code behind it. A short note is enough.
