Holy Family Light Box
I was assigned in the Design and Manufacturing class I am taking at Holy Family Catholic High School to choose a project to work on.
I thought the make it glow project would be a good project to do with the supplies I had available.
I designed the box in Autodesk fusion 360.
The lights are from amazon that can change color.
Supplies
- The Autodesk desk fusion 360 program
- A 3d printer
- Color changing LED lights

The computers at my school have Autodesk Fusion 360 so I did not need to gather it.
