WLED Hexagon Wall Lamp

Just a hexagon wall lampWorks with any 10mm wide LED strip, I use WS2812B's 60LEDs/m, but you could also go with FCOB-LEDs, SK6812s or whatever you fancy.You can create your own patterns or just copy mine.You'll need some 15mm x 2mm Aluminium Extrusion as well as a number of M3 and M5 Heatset-Inserts and screws, the LED strip and cables.I went with a length of 120mm per Aluminium Extrusion piece, but you can go longer if you modify the provided diffusor step file. The sawing guide will help to cut the extrusion to length, but I would recommend the diffusor to be ~2mm longer than the aluminium extrusion piece. I've printed the diffusors out of a white PLA as that gave me the best visual results and the other parts out of PETG. You will need M3 heatset inserts with a outer diameter of 4.2mm and a length of 5mm as well as M3x8 screws. I would recommend button head screws, but normal DIN912s will also work.The M5 heatset inserts have an outer diameter of 8mm and a length of 5mm. Button head screws are also the better option here (M5x10). The design that I use needs 30 pcs of Aluminium Extrusion cut to length, 30 diffusors, 24 pairs of Hexagon Top/Bottom, one wall hook and two spacers. You'll need 3 M3 Heatset-Inserts and M3x10 screws for each pair of Hexagon Top/Bottom, so in my case 72 each as well as 3 M5x10 screws and heatset inserts for the wall hook and the spacers. If you copy my layout, you'll need 3,6m of LED strip, that you'll also need to cut to length and solder back together. I also use a 4A 5V PSU and a WeMos D1 Mini to control the LEDs via WLED. I use this case for the Wemos Board, but you could also use any other WLED compatible board and case : https://www.printables.com/de/model/386784-wemos-d1-mini-caseI attached a picture showing how I wired my lamp, the grey arrows are cables, the black arrows indicate WS2812B LEDs. Check the WLED Wiki for more detailed instructions on software setup, etc.And finally, here's a short video of the lamp in action:
