HexoLED - Modular LED lamps

thingiverse

I'm working on my first 3D printing project. To help others learn from my experience, I've shared my Fusion 360 design file. Keep in mind that I'm still figuring out Fusion 360 and the 3D printing process, so if you notice any mistakes, please let me know. As I continue to print more modules, I'll post an update when I complete a full assembly with at least six to eight HexoLED units. ## Smart D-LED Controller To control the HexoLED, I used a universal digital LED strip controller that I built. You can find the code on my GitHub page: https://github.com/DylanMeng/Smart-D-LED-API, https://github.com/DylanMeng/Smart-D-LED-PCB, and https://github.com/DylanMeng/Smart-D-LED-REMOTE. However, building this controller might be complicated for beginners. If you're not comfortable with it, feel free to use any LED strip and controller that you know how to work with. ## Magnetic Diffuser The magnetic diffuser can be attached after all HexoLED modules are fixed in place. It's also easy to remove for repairs (for example, if the double-sided tape on the LED strip no longer sticks). One HexoLED module requires twelve 3x2mm mini magnets to fix it in place. ## Important Notes When printing the diffuser, try to prevent dust or hair from getting stuck between layers. Magnets are tightly fitted, so be careful when handling them. The 8x3mm magnets might not be strong enough to hold two HexoModule units together, but they can help when attaching to a wall.
