From the workshop
Made one at a time, by hand. About twelve hours of printing per piece.
About
I started making these for my own kids. The first few fought me — the name kept lifting out of the letter, and the light was so bright it lit the whole room instead of the corner of it. What fixed the second problem was running the LED up the centre of the letter instead of around the edge, which sounds small and changed everything. I print each one after it's ordered, three parts, about twelve hours, then glue the name in and solder the strip by hand in the evening. If your name has an accent or an apostrophe, send it exactly as you spell it and I'll match it.

The first ones are going out now
This is a new workshop. When the first pieces arrive and people send back their own photos and words, this is where they go. Nothing here will be borrowed and nothing here will be invented.

Questions
How long until it ships?
About a week to make, then 3–5 business days in the post. Each one is printed after you order it — roughly twelve hours across three parts, then assembled by hand the evening it finishes.
How long can the name be?
Up to twelve characters sits comfortably. Longer names still work; they get scaled to fit the letter, and I'll send you a photo before it's finished if it looks tight.
What colours can I choose?
Six at the moment, all Bambu PLA Basic. The name is always Jade White because white is what reads best once the light is behind it. More colours are coming as I test how each one glows.
What's it made of, and is it safe near a crib?
PLA — a plant-based plastic — with a 5V LED strip inside. It runs off USB, stays cool, has no battery, and the back cover is weighted so it stands up to being knocked. A wall adapter isn't included.
What if it's misspelled or arrives damaged?
I remake it. Send me a photo and I'll start the replacement the same day.
Can I return something with a name on it?
Not once it has a name on it — I can't sell it to anyone else. If something's wrong with it, that's a different thing and it's on me.
