Hexagon LED Panels and Shelfs

prusaprinters

You can see a great example of this HEX Panels on Engineericly 's YouTube Channel. I printed mine with 100% size (you see it on the pictures), but next time I would rather use 120% or more, because it makes threading the LEDs easier and bigger things fit into the shelves. What you need:LED-Strip (if you want different colors on each cell, use an RGBIC LED Stripe)Printed Cells in a non-translucent MaterialA translucent material for the windowssome clear material for the (Shelf-Lightcap's)Materials & Colors:Print the Panels, color and material doesn't matterPrint the Panel-windows in a translucent white,(or in your desired color when you are going to use a simple white Light strip)Print the Shelf-lightcaps with a transparent or highly translucent MaterialInstallation:If you use the reflectors, mount them first.Arrange the cells like you want it on the wallFix them together with clip's and glue.Make a simple drawing how to manage the LED Stripe.Fit the LEDs inside (this can be a little annoying)Add the Light caps on the Shelf.You should fix at least the cable with some hotglue or somehow elsePut it on a wallFit the Windows and enjoy :)Optional parts:Holecap - to close the holes on the side.Light cap - only needed for the shelf, looks like a integrated lightbulb (clear material).Clip - use them to fix the panels together.diffuser- print it with clear materialReflector - if you print the cases in dark colors you should use the reflectors, you will have a much better looking light distribution.If you have trouble getting an even light, you can print the thicker (diffuser) windows or use the LED diffuser (clear petg/pla). If that doesn't help, fill the inside with clear/white silicone (like this) or cotton wool.Here you can see how to wire and control your LEDs with an ESP32 in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYxctjukehYGerman users (english sub function) can see here a full assembly of the HexagonPanels:
