A lightbox is a box with LEDs on the bottom, and several layers of paper or wood.
Because wood is much more expensive than paper, I searched on amazon for the best price.
I was able to find A4 (almost: 30cm x 20cm) plywood sheet of 2mm thickness.
With one A4 sheet, I can get 2 A5 sheets (20 x 15cm).
I designed this box for inserting A5 sheet + some error margin.
Plans are easy to make.
To help light diffusion, I putted some separator which are empty layers.
They should perfectly fit in the box.
I found the layers’ template at L’atelier du bois - Matindetempete
There are many copies available online (for sale). Paper rendering is better than wood. However, Wood will last longuer.
I used an arduino nano (the cheepest you can get !) and a LED strip with 30 LED / meter (RGB addressable LED).
For now, the arduino is still on a bread board. I will update this in the future.
