I wanted to design a LED Matrix with unusual shaped pixels and came up with this design. The big pixels have a shape of a circle. The small pixels between the round pixels have a shape similar to a rhombus. The 3D printed grid separates the light from each pixel. This avoids blurring and results in sharp pixels. I used black PETG to avoid the light being transmitted through the walls of the grid. White PETG does not fully block the light. The Matrix has 481 LEDs. The diffuser is a Polypropylene foil. WS2815 (30LEDs/m, 0.2W/LED) strips are used. Older strips may have 0.3W/LED. The controller is a Wemos D1 Mini Pro with a SD card shield to store the animations. The animations were made with xLights. The files can be downloaded from the links below. 00:00 LED Matrix Show 00:30 intro 00:43 3D printing 01:29 cut diffuser 02:07 paint grid 02:39 glue diffuser 03:07 glue top part 03:46 glue backplate 05:16 attach LED strips 07:01 solder data cables 07:49 solder power cables 09:04 solder main power supply cable 10:14 Schematic and install controller 11:38 mount backplate 12:26 power supply 12:51 finished LED Matrix Key features: 481x LEDs (WS2815, 30LEDs/m strips, 0.2W/LED) Dimensions 533x533mm 3D printed with black PETG diffuser foil 0.5mm Polypropylene controller Wemos D1 Mini Pro with ESPixelStick Firmware 4.0 74HCT125 to connect the controller (3.3V logic) with the strips (5V logic) animations made with xLights SD card slot to save and play back animations :::::::::::::::::::: ESPixelStick Controller Firmware https://github.com/forkineye/ESPixelS... xLights software https://xlights.org/releases/ xLights model (xmodel file) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kh99kw...
