YouTube - https://youtu.be/OEXlFCDSUdo Version 2 now available from moodlite.co.uk This is a wireless controlled interlinking LED tile, fully 3D printed and using a NodeMCU and W2812B LEDs. I've spent weeks testing, redesigning, and perfecting this project. Since it's an in-depth project, any updates, details, or improvements will be posted on http://moodlite.co.uk. This is an open-source project, so please lend a hand to improve it if you can. The files here allow you to replicate what I've done in the video. For help, advice, or more information, visit http://moodlite.co.uk. The design was created using Autodesk Inventor. I purchased all my components from Amazon UK and eBay. My BOM consists of: 60 x LED - W2812B Type (non-waterproof). I made sure to get the non-waterproof type to avoid encasing them in silicon. Cost £12.

Make sure to get the square-chip version, not the rectangle one near the micro-USB port.

You should get about 15 tiles from these. I bought them on eBay. eBay link: https://ebay.us/TbtkMY Amazon UK link: https://amzn.to/2RWeTXm Amazon USA link: https://amzn.to/2VfMnhX (2 packs required for about 15 tiles) I used a couple of rolls of Ziro White PLA filament, which I purchased from Amazon. This filament gives translucent results and is really good value. You'll need something to power the tiles - I went with a 2A 5V adapter that powers both the NodeMCU and LEDs. Amazon UK link: https://amzn.to/2TNFGlC (Higher spec 4A version) Amazon USA link: https://amzn.to/2s15ora (Higher spec 4A version) To go with the power supply, I purchased some 5.5/2.1mm sockets. Amazon UK link: https://amzn.to/2TQCQMN Amazon USA link: https://amzn.to/2ViuXS3 Now it's just a matter of waiting for the tiles to print - the base took over 6 hours and 30 minutes, while the top took around 2 hours. I'm quite pleased with the design, which allows you to change the tile to left or right by swapping the wire underneath. The front diffuser was originally designed to have a separate diffuser, but I swapped it for a 3D printed solid one. Both are included in the download, so it's up to you which one to use.
