🇲🇽 Mexico Eagle LED Light Box

Celebrate your heritage with glowing pride. This LED wall art showcases the Mexican coat of arms—the eagle devouring the serpent—rendered in layered red, white, and green for stunning depth and brilliance.

Whether you’re decorating your space, honoring your roots, or gifting something meaningful, this piece is designed to shine—literally.

Two rear keyholes allow easy wall-mounting, and a clean side slot routes the USB-C power connection through a snug, professional-looking port.

🔧 Print Profiles

• 2 HD native – scale to ≈92% for Bambu X1C / P1P-S, Neptune 3/4, etc.
• Front panel: 0.20 mm layers (first layer 0.16 mm)
• Back panel: 0.24 mm layers (for speed)

🛠️ Assembly & Wiring (Step-by-Step)

1. Print both parts: The model includes a front faceplate and a back panel that snap together cleanly.
2. Insert the USB-C connector:
   • The faceplate has a pre-sized orifice (14.6 mm x 5.4 mm) that fits a USB-C female chassis connector.
   • Gently press-fit the connector into place from the back—it should snap in snugly and align flush with the outer edge.
3. Wire the LEDs:
   • Solder the USB-C connector to your 5V COB LED strip wires.
   • After soldering, cover the exposed contacts using heat-shrink sleeves for protection and a clean finish.
   • Secure the LED strip along the inner vertical walls of the faceplate using foam double-sided tape.
4. Final assembly:
   • Once the lighting is secured and wiring is complete, snap the back panel into place.
   • Use the built-in keyholes to mount it to your wall, plug in a USB-C power cable—and enjoy the glow!
