This little display stand is an experimental prototype inspired by having made some tiny rechargeable lights. Lit from below, the 1-inch acrylic cube transmits the light to provide under-lighting for whatever sits on top of it. This could likely be done better with a custom circuit board with surface mount LEDs, but this was a fun way to make a quick one-off prototype without fabricating boards.

As it's the youngest's 13th birthday, today, I pulled out all the stops and finished off that #LaserCut rocket ship light I showed the prototype of, back last autumn. Just finished mounting it on the wall... He seems to like it! The power cord has since been strapped to the wall for extra neatness and safety, though the LEDs are low voltage 12v so don't present much of a safety hazard. #maker #project
