Skyline Light Diffuser Pieces
These are the model files for a project I recently completed.
To complete this project you'll need:
- A place to hang them with a light source behind it. I built a frame around mine as well.
- 1/16" steel cable and eye screws to hang the pieces.
- Magnets (10mm diameter)
Instructions:
- Use 1/16" steel cable to create however many rows you will make, use eye screws spaced 4" apart at the ends and secure it so it's not too loose.
- Print a bunch of cubes. I used basic translucent PLA using "Lightning" infill, tuning density to how I wanted it to look. I only had 1 perimeter using .5mm line width. I printed on a glass bed to try to get as much clarity I could out of the bottom layer.
- Glue magnets to each cube and each hanger piece.
- Clip hanger pieces on a row, hang cubes from hanger pieces.
- Once a row is perfectly spaced, drop a bit of glue (I used elmers) on where the hanger pieces and steel cable touch so it doesn't slide around and cause bunching.
- Repeat for as many rows you want to make.
