Colorduino Enclosure

thingiverse

This is a surprisingly simple design for a laser-cut sandwich-type enclosure that works nicely with the Colorduino to diffuse the display. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W31v942zk0s Instructions: Get your laser cutter ready by downloading the DXF or SVG and loading it up. Required Materials: - M3 Threaded Hex Spacers (minimum of 20mm) - use as many as you like - M3 Bolts (8) - Colorduino board - RGB LED Matrix display - Any kind of Laserable material (thickness is up to you, just choose a non-opaque one!) - Access to a laser cutter Your choice of front piece will affect how the LEDs look through it so don't pick something that blocks the light. I chose 3mm Frosted Opal Acrylic for the front and 3mm Birch Ply for the back. Two pieces are stacked with M3 Threaded Hex Spacers in between, you can use any size as long as its at least 20mm but you might want to add a couple extra nuts to get a softer glow.
