I decided not to paint them, but to print them in the same color as Ken suggested. At first glance, the parts are not very difficult to assemble, they consist of only 5 parts. They are assembled very quickly without lighting. But! I had to tinker with the lighting, as they shone wherever possible! Just painting them black from the inside did not give a good result, as they glowed at the seams. I had to glue in additional partitions and paint them black, while I also had to cut out a part of the lower part to check before gluing the LEDs if there were any luminous slots left somewhere.

What the hell, it took me 4 hours to assemble these 2 small parts...
I'm not in a rush, I'm just surprised that I spent so much time on such simple detailsfor me.Take your time, this is not a race.
Please do not flog yourself either. Sometimes it is necessary to spend extra time on a component to get it the way that you want it. I have done that many times myself. I have had to go through and completely rebuild a simple components several times, just because it did not turn out exactly the way that I wanted it to. It is the nature of this hobby.I'm not in a rush, I'm just surprised that I spent so much time on such simple detailsfor me.
Don't worry, too much praise isn't good either.Please do not flog yourself either. Sometimes it is necessary to spend extra time on a component to get it the way that you want it.

Please remember that you are your own worse critic. We on the other-hand, think that you are doing an AMAZING JOB!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
I know the feeling. I do the same thing with my work.Don't worry, too much praise isn't good either.
In general, for me, self-criticism is the best way to improve my work. I use this method in my main work as a commercial photographer, trying to analyze and improve my work every time, only I fully understand where I could have made a mistake, and next time I try to avoid it. Also, since I am very lazy, I constantly try to optimize the time spent in order to do a similar job in the same high quality but faster.
I know. The devil is always in the details!I'm not in a rush, I'm just surprised that I spent so much time on such simple detailsfor me.
