LED Craft (3D PrintCraft)

What is LED Craft (3D PrintCraft)?

LED Craft builds 3D-printable housings for illuminated sign letters. You type a word or upload an SVG logo with closed outlines, pick one of 21 assembly schemes and then only adjust the sizes. The schemes cover front-lit letters with a back, wall, shelf and acrylic face, plastic letters without acrylic, halo-lit letters with a second wall that throws light onto the wall, letters shaped like neon tubes, a printed channel for flexible LED neon, light boxes with a cut-out face, a marquee with round bulbs, small letters that print standing without supports, and two-color patterned letters.

The tool works out a bill of materials before you print: plastic in grams, the size of the acrylic and PVC foam sheets to cut, and the length of LED strip or flex neon along the path it will actually take. You can enter how many meters of strip you already have, and it tells you whether that is enough or scales the letters to fit your roll. It also checks that your strip's cross-section fits the channel, shows a night preview with glow color and blinking, splits a sign that is wider than your printer bed into print jobs, and draws a 1:1 SVG layout for cutting acrylic and marking the wall. Downloads are STL and a 3MF with the housing and face in separate colors.

LED Craft is part of the PRO plan on 3D PrintCraft, a small Russian site: 99 RUB a week, 299 RUB a month or 1,990 RUB a year for all PRO generators, with a 3-day trial after sign-up and no card needed. The landing page is in Russian; the site says the generator interface is in Russian and English. The user agreement says the files you make are yours for personal and commercial use. It suits makers who build lit signs and logos for shops, events or home and want the housings and material list worked out for them.
