MiniMarquee v0.2 - Compact DIY console marquees

thingiverse

MiniMarquee is a backlight PCB designed specifically for small marquees as standalone decorations or to elevate your console library's visual appeal. This innovative board features two light zones, one for internal backlighting and another for external RGB strips, which can be customized with individualized light scenes. The entire project is open-source, allowing users to modify and recreate it as they see fit. All the necessary documentation, building instructions, and source files are readily available in the GitHub repository linked below. This comprehensive resource enables users to create their own MiniMarquee PCBs from scratch. The creator of MiniMarquee is still perfecting its design and testing various signs, which will be revealed over the coming days. A complete list of planned signs can be found within the GitHub README file. If you have suggestions for additional signs or improvements, feel free to leave a comment. Users are encouraged to utilize the "RawSign" .stl files to create their own custom signs. When doing so, please ensure that any newly designed signs are published as remixes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIY enthusiasts can access the necessary files to produce their MiniMarquee PCBs at their preferred manufacturer through the GitHub repository. Acquiring electronic components should be relatively straightforward; refer to the documentation within the git repo for guidance. Printing the signs requires a dual extruder setup, although some designs may necessitate up to five materials being printed simultaneously. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those looking to save on costs, consider using RGB strips instead of investing in a PCB and microcontroller. This alternative approach can help reduce overall expenses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in purchasing pre-made MiniMarquee PCBs or complete kits, keep an eye out for the creator's upcoming Tindie shop. Alternatively, if you need one of their designs printed or wish to suggest modifications, feel free to send a message. The creator would appreciate any feedback and reviews from users who have printed their designs.
