I wanted to diffuse the LED's installed at the back of the box I printed (created by DR82) and thought I'd just add that to the lid.
The diffuser wall is shifted forward on the lid as much as possible to allow more room for the LED wiring and so you can put some inverse text behind it on the lid so that the light casts a shadow of the text on the lid as well. On my lid, I placed the text up against the diffuser so that it added some support in the back. I also added a small support wedge to the front of the thin diffuser so that it would not snap off during handling. The diffuser does reduce the overall amount of light to the lithophane, but it is much more even now.
