Neon effect LED signs are popping up everywhere at the moment which is understandable, they look fantastic and are super easy to build at home. So I wanted to design and share some of my own.

These ones can be powered by either a USB cable or 4 'AA' batteries giving you a lot of flexibility for placement. Why not use one to illuminate your next garden or beachside party?

They are also dimmable to help create the right level of ambience for any setting. Use it to help illuminate a room or dial it down for a more subtle addition to your decor. 

As for customising? You can print the parts in any rigid filament colour, It’s your choice as well for the colour of Neon effect LED’s used.

There are several ready designed Neon shapes you can choose from and I’ll be adding creating more over time. And if you're comfortable you can edit the design and create something totally unique either for yourself or as a thoughtfully made gift to someone else.

On this page you'll find everything you need to know to be able to build your own. You’ll need a 3D printer and a few basic electronic components. Everything I used is linked to below, and further down have included some helpful tips and an FAQ. Enjoy.
