Does the lightbox tool have any capability to break a lightbox up into sections that can be printed one at a time?
I looked at that tool recently and don’t recall seeing any option for that. Thing is, depending on the design you might need/want to divide it manually so you can hide the individual joins in unobtrusive parts of the design.
Lightboxes are tricky like that since the lens will reveal any seams in non-opaque regions. The backs and sides probably don’t matter but the transmissive parts of the lens will likely show seams like a bandit. Next best would possibly be to split a design at edges between colors. I’d bet it would take a sophisticated tool to make those choices automatically.
This one was too big to fit on a single build plate but by making it into two pieces that clamp together, it was workable. Hid the seam across the black region that divides the logo from the name that severed the design into two easy pieces.
