flexible magnetic hexagon light

thingiverse

Inspired by the lamps here and on the market, I designed my own Hexagon lights. I wanted it to be flexible and just click the individual elements on to each other. There are 5 different variants and thus all shapes are possible. 180 degrees, 120 degrees left and right, and 60 degrees left and right. Depending on what you print, you can make a snake or a compact shape. It is important that you order the correct magnetic plugs. The designation is "2A Waterproof Magnetic Pogo Pin Connector 3 Pins" To place the connector, you need to thread it in on one side and then push in on the other side. The drop of hot glue will be set on the side where you press it in. Look at the pictures and constructions. Inside the bottom of the hexagon has a mark. This is the "D in" side. At this point, the pin must be connected to the male side. Pay attention to the magnetic polarity. Print out the lids. One lid black and the rest white and glue them together. The black lid is designed to allow heat to escape, but the blue LED inside doesn't bother. The starting hexagon uses a WeMos D1 mini V3.0.0 This is screwed in (M2 x 3mm) and can be connected directly from the outside via Micro-USB. You will find sufficient material on the net about hardware, flashing, WLED-App etc. Have fun printing and designing.
