<p>I was looking for a cool design combined with the some RGB goodness. And came up with a Christmas wraith populated with Neopixels.</p><p>Video: <a href="https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201270013765832706">https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201270013765832706</a><br>More video's generated effect using wled:<br><a href="https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201838750998966272">https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201838750998966272</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201844690959642625">https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201844690959642625</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201841901994946560">https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201841901994946560</a><br><a href="https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201840266291957760">https://twitter.com/MvdH74169613/status/1201840266291957760</a></p><p>I made the design so it can be easily printed. The led strips do not fit in perfectly because of this. But it fits, and you won't see it when it is blinking in gorgeous RGB goodness. The strips mounts are not fixed together, because the ledstrips will keep it in place. I glued the quarter parts together.</p><p>The complete wraith can be printed in 2 prints, but it will take 30 hours each print. But the amount of filament is only 170 gram per batch, so 340 gram in total.</p><p>It uses 65 led per strip coming at around 65 led <i>4 </i>30mA = 10,4 Amps of power needed.</p><p>Yesterday I moved to esp32 with Wled (<a href="https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki">https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki</a>)<br>Just hook up al strips to the same pin (gpio2 for esp32)</p><p>The default Fastled demo-reel can be used.</p><p>I hooked the 4 ledstrips up to 4 pins:</p><h3>define DATA_PIN1 9</h3><h3>define DATA_PIN2 10</h3><h3>define DATA_PIN3 11</h3><h3>define DATA_PIN4 12</h3><p>And then add this:</p><p>FastLED.addLeds&lt;LED_TYPE,DATA_PIN1,COLOR_ORDER&gt;(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);<br>FastLED.addLeds&lt;LED_TYPE,DATA_PIN2,COLOR_ORDER&gt;(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);<br>FastLED.addLeds&lt;LED_TYPE,DATA_PIN3,COLOR_ORDER&gt;(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);<br>FastLED.addLeds&lt;LED_TYPE,DATA_PIN4,COLOR_ORDER&gt;(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection(TypicalLEDStrip);</p><p>I hope this will light up your holidays! I will update with a movie, if I find out how to do this!</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Can be printed without supports!<br>All parts are the same parts, to make it a lot more easy.</p><p>Someone in the review complained his print failed, my MK3S had absolutely no issues. But be aware. It's not a print for shitty printers.</p>
