Making a LED Matrix with 3D Effect

This video shows how I built the LED Matrix with 3D Effect. The grid of the LED Matrix consists of 192 rhombuses. Each rhombus is light up with one LED. WS2815 LED Strips are used. The diffusor is a Polypropylene foil. The front cover foil is made with a cutting plotter. 00:00 intro 00:13 grid drawing 00:20 base plate 01:07 cut LED strips 01:55 glue LED strips 03:18 solder 1x strips 03:55 solder data cables 04:57 grid mounting positions 05:30 solder power cables 05:59 PVC rods for grid 06:59 cut grid 07:20 glue grid 09:06 aluminum frame 10:15 solder power injection cables 11:26 schematic & mount controller 12:22 first test & issues 12:41 paint grid 12:54 apply foam tape 13:34 front foil 16:12 front cover 18:53 assemble LED Matrix 19:59 mount LED Matrix 20:21 finished LED Matrix Key features: 192x WS2815 LEDs (30LEDs/m strips) base material: 3mm white acrylic glass front cover material: 3mm transparent acrylic glass diffusor foil 0.5mm Polypropylene T-slot aluminum profiles on back controller Wemos D1 Mini Pro with ESPixelStick Firmware 4.0 level shifter 74HCT125 to convert 3.3V logic up to 5V animations made with xLights SD card slot to save and play back animations :::::::::::::::::::: new version with 3D printed grid    • 3D Printed LED Matrix with 3D Effect   ESPixelStick Controller Firmware https://github.com/forkineye/ESPixelS... xLights https://xlights.org/releases/ xLights model https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9237yxxcti...
