Nanoleaf Replica Full Size

thingiverse

Inspired By Harvahammas I was determined to create full-size panels that mimicked the original product as closely as possible. # All Versions In each corner, I employed 144 LEDs per meter. The soldering process can be a bit tricky with these LEDs, but they fit six in each corner just like the real ones. # v1 Currently, v1 is held together by M3 screws and has a small opening for wires. This design isn't very modular, so you're stuck with the shape your wiring dictates. The control box gets power from a 5-volt Power Supply, which has a hole designed to fit this power jack. The clearance on this hole is a bit tight, but I managed to force the jack into place without needing the nut to hold it in position. I no longer have the code for v1 panels, but I used a modified version of Harvahammas' code from Thingiverse. You can use their original code as well. [Demo Video](https://youtu.be/9oJNtiUI7r4) # v2 - Incomplete Section This section is incomplete. I included some pictures of the v2 panel I wired so far. Each wall has two spaces for magnets (8mm, previously 5mm). It's essential that each magnet has opposite polarity on the same wall but also take great caution in ensuring you keep the same polarity on all three sides so they attract when rotated. If the left magnet slot faces south, then on all your triangle walls, the left should face south with the right slot facing north. [Example](https://i.imgur.com/6QSEyO2.png) The center slots are designed for Header Sockets. You can connect the panels together using Dual Male Headers. The connection is vertical to keep the wiring aligned. There are two bases in v2, one with three pin holes and one with two pin holes. #### If you intend to make these with ATTiny85s and NRF24L01 shields If you plan to use some ATTiny85s in each panel, I've provided my updated code based on Harvahammas. The ATTiny85 and NRF24L01 were wired up using [this guide](https://www.instructables.com/id/NRF24L01-With-ATtiny85-3-Pins/) #### If you just want to wire the data through each panel The wiring might be tricky in this version, but it shouldn't cause any issues I know of. You'll need to choose one side that the other two sides wire up to and have that side feed into the first corner of LEDs. There is no example code yet for this version, but it should work similarly to v1. ## v2 Covers The covers from v1 work just fine. If you feel comfortable swapping filaments mid-print, try switching the white filament out for some clear filament after layer 2 can help allow more light to pass through. ## No Magnets I'm considering replacing the magnet indents with OpenLOCK. This would provide solid connections between pieces and eliminate the need to purchase magnets.
