PAN-AM - 2-Sided Station Lightbox Sign
Please support ChopperOriginals by Liking/Boosting their Print on MakerWorld.
Bring back the golden era of full-service stations, porcelain signs, and real American garages.
This vintage-style round lightbox is inspired by classic illuminated service station signs and designed to mount perpendicular to the wall — just like the originals. Whether you're building a garage setup, bar corner, shop space, or man cave, this one makes a statement.
This model is fully 3D printable and designed for easy assembly and clean wiring.
• 50 mm total thickness
• Double-sided design (visible from both directions)
• Includes wall-mount brackets
• Hollow bracket arms for hidden LED wire routing
• Designed for LED strip lighting
• Clean, even light diffusion
• The included mounting brackets are hollow, allowing you to run your LED wiring directly through the arm for a clean, professional install — no exposed wires hanging down the wall.
• Super easy to install by using the hole jig found on plate 4.
• Just use the jig to mark your holes.
• Mount the brackets using drywall screws or similar with the wiring tunnel facing up for top bracket and down for bottom bracket. ( I found it easier to put my wire through before tightening the screws against the wall )
• Then slide the lightbox frame onto the mounts and push till it clicks into place.
• Next, just remove the adhesive backing strip and route your lights around the inside of the frame as many times as you would like.
• The design is intended to be used with your own LED light kit . The example shown was lit using a Cobb 5v wired strip like found here on amazon. https://a.co/d/0gaqt958
