LED Matrix Diffuser Grid

thingiverse

The harsh glare of an LED matrix can strain the eyes, making certain displayed elements like letters tricky to read at times. This diffuser/divider grid is designed specifically for a 32x16 LED matrix, transforming bright matrix dots into square pixels. A cost-effective way to obtain these matrices is by purchasing a pixel purse from Amazon, which offers significant savings compared to buying an individual matrix. For instance, you can buy a purse and extract the matrix for less than half the price of purchasing a single matrix. The link to purchase one is: https://amzn.to/2pg1OLA You can print this design in white, clear, or neutral filament, but for optimal results, print the diffuser layers with white filament first, then switch to black (or another dark color) to print the grid. The process of switching filaments depends on your printer's capabilities.
