Mini nanoleaf LED lightshow

thingiverse

My take on a nanoleaf is a collection of small units that can be easily repeated and configured into intricate patterns to suit any design. The lids have uniquely tapered edges, allowing them to clip snugly into the bases. The LEDs can be soldered together in a chain first, then threaded through the bases via the strategically placed holes on each edge. Once the LEDs are securely threaded, the clips fit perfectly in the groove, holding the entire structure together with ease. To add an extra layer of versatility, I designed a single piece to fill any unused holes in the base. This eliminates the need for multiple designs, offering more flexibility and customization options. I successfully cut, soldered, and threaded WS8212 LEDs, one per corner, to bring my nanoleaf to life. For control, I utilized an Arduino Uno paired with the FastLED library, but any microcontroller would be a suitable substitute. https://youtu.be/e3oup_5NlIg
