Summary

This is a cube shaped Star Wars nightlight case. When fully assembled, a tilt switch turns the light on when the cube is turned over. When the light is off, the outside faces appear to be blank, but when turned on the light shines through, revealing emblems from four factions in the Star Wars universe.

Instructions

I've included a file that contains all six panels for those with large enough print beds but for everybody else I uploaded each panel separately.

Since the panels won't print perfectly square (this just seems to be the nature of 3D printing) I screwed the four sides to the top first (the side marked "on"), made things as square as I could, and wrapped it in painter's tape to keep it from moving. I then added a bead of hot glue to the inside corners. Be careful not to glue the top down!

I then added hot glue around the beveled edge of the bottom, pressed into place, and taped it up as well. After giving the hot glue some time to cool, I added super glue into all of the edges to reinforce everything. I was a little afraid that there would be some internal stresses from the panels being warped and I didn't want the cube to spontaneously explode. So far it has not.
