Description

You can see a great example of this HEX Panels on Engineericly 's YouTube Channel. I printed mine with 100% size (you see it on the pictures), but next time I would rather use 120% or more, because it makes threading the LEDs easier and bigger things fit into the shelves. What you need: LED-Strip (if you want different colors on each cell, use an RGBIC LED Stripe) Printed Cells in a non-translucent Material A translucent material for the windows some clear material for the (Shelf-Lightcap's) Materials & Colors: Print the Panels, color and material doesn't matter Print the Panel-windows in a translucent white, (or in your desired color when you are going to use a simple white Light strip) Print the Shelf-lightcaps with a transparent or highly translucent Material Installation: If you use the reflectors, mount them first. Arrange the cells like you want it on the wall Fix them together with clip's and glue. Make a simple drawing how to manage the LED Stripe. Fit the LEDs inside (this can be a little annoying) Add the Light caps on the Shelf. You should fix at least the cable with some hotglue or somehow else Put it on a wall Fit the Windows and enjoy :) Optional parts: Holecap - to close the holes on the side. Light cap - only needed for the shelf, looks like a integrated lightbulb (clear material). Clip - use them to fix the panels together. diffuser- print it with clear material Reflector - if you print the cases in dark colors you should use the reflectors, you will have a much better looking light distribution. If you have trouble getting an even light, you can print the thicker (diffuser) windows or use the LED diffuser (clear petg/pla). If that doesn't help, fill the inside with clear/white silicone (like this) or cotton wool. Here you can see how to wire and control your LEDs with an ESP32 in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYxctjukehY German users (english sub function) can see here a full assembly of the HexagonPanels:
