By the time this post is available the lightbox will have been done for a long time. Physical Construction Material Choice I wanted by lightbox to be fairly large, but I did not want to break the bank so I decided to use cardboard. I used a program called Slicer for Fusion which takes a 3D model and slices it into layers that can be laser cut and glued together. https://josephscottcampbell.com/posts/lightbox-1/ Wed, 30 Nov 2022 18:52:53 -0500 https://josephscottcampbell.com/posts/lightbox-1/ Introduction One of the required projects in the Robotics Curriculum is The Lightbox Project, because it is required I had to do this before continuing to work on the Float Project. The lightbox is a project where LEDs controlled by some external variable illuminate a piece of etched acrylic. My Design Outline The basic outline for the design of my lightbox is a cylinder with 6 indents where pieces of acrylic are placed with logos for different stocks on them, the logos will then be illuminated with different intensities of green or red depending on the percentage change of yesterday’s price to the current price.
