12mm Pixel RGB Drill guide with 2 inch spacing for 1/2 inch PVC

thingiverse

This is a comprehensive guide for installing RGB pixel lights using 1/2 PVC pipe to create a stunning house outline. The printing settings are precise: .06 nozzle, .75 line width, two walls, two top surface layers, four top layers, and four bottom layers with 15-20% infill. The design demands attention to detail due to its tight spacing tolerances; as you drill out each hole, it's essential to remove the cuttings before moving on to avoid any binding issues. With a step drill that reaches up to 12mm, I typically spend around 20 minutes drilling through a 10-foot pipe, running it through both sides of the PVC pipe for optimal results. The semi-circle design is cleverly crafted to align perfectly with the 12mm drill bit, ensuring accurate centering. After completing the initial hole, I return and enlarge the reverse side to 14mm, making it effortless to push through the bullet pixels.
