- I'm excited to try this project out. Basically I saw NerdForge's video and thought, man, my kids would love that in their room. So I tried to make it and failed :/. But that's ok! I stumbled on 3DFactory's video which shows how to find segments in the WS2811 LED strip. So I cut up the strips, put them in the hexagons and went to town. I will probably do an update video if I get the arduino setup working or if I do it a different way.
This is what I was trying to create: • Making My Own Version ...
This video is how I learned how to separate the different sections within the LED stip: • Budget 3D Printed Nano...

I loved your younger daughter's amazed expression at 25:39. Good job!
Thanks Shane.
Edit: You could try rough sanding the inside face of the more translucent one - that might diffuse the light more.
Nice project Shane. I think the tipping point for me was seeing your family's reaction. Priceless. As a side note: for your overlap of LED's you could pull an old school neon trick by blacking out the LED segments you don't want. You could do this by using some tape!
You are a really good dad and you can see it from the smiles of your children.....
great project just look to take a worthy white filament
Great project!
Love the look of amazement on your kids face. Great project!
Heya Jake.
Now this is an awesome project idea!! I might have to make some of these for myself... oh and for my kids as well!
I made the same shape lights as you but printer them in two parts. The back box that mounts on the wall and the front lens as separate parts. Has several advantages, if you want to change the front lens sometime in the future you can and if one lens does not print correctly you have not wasted too much time or filament.
Nice projekt
Thanks for the walkthrough 👍😀
That is really cool. I did something very similar with an ESP32. One thing I did differently that you could try, I printed a back for each one of the figures (like a box) and covered the interior of them with aluminum foil to disperse the light more and at the same time get more out of each LED through the reflection.
Thank you very much. That fixed my problem.
He said " I try to teach my kids " 😂😂 I feel you brother. Being a father of 6 kids who all live with me and my wife, I must say... kids these days just don't absorbe the way we did back in the 80s_90s. Too much insta- gratification these days. Good vid btw! 🤙🏽💯
You can add more internal diffusion by putting a layer or two of parchment baking paper in front of the LEDs to save the hexes that let too much light out.
Great work BTW
That turned out quite nice in spite of the crappy controller you had to use. If you can get the ESP to do the footwork then it'll hit next level.
Thats so cool!
Cool daddy is cool! Nice project maybe i'll try it sometimes, the effect on yours is pretty neat! Thanks for sharing ;)
Great job on setting it up. Need your opinion about being able to see the LED's . Do you think it would be better to increase the thickness of the bottom by a couple layers? I sliced the model and it looks like it is only .4mm thick. Maybe bump it up to .6 or .8 instead or would that dull it too much?
Very nice!
I suggest trying a lithophane calibration STL from thingiverse. You can test different whites and thicknesses for the desired effect.
Hey man, super cool project! I would love to try something like this. I am new to the 3D printing world. What would be a good one for projects like this? one that might be good for someone new, but still versitile and doesn't break the bank? Thank you in advance man. Super cool!
reaction is priceless! :D
Cool dude. I learned quite bit watching your entertaining video.
The Hook Up and DrZzs have done good videos on addressable led strips.
White Filament Opacity - Add another layer. Or two. LED sequence length and overlap - if you get it working with an 8266 or ESP32, both problems will be solved. You can choose your own sequence length and you should be able to start them all at the same time.
Have you tried flashing WLED to the esp? That’s probably the easiest way to program the LED strips. There’s a bunch of videos out there that show how to do that.
What about your setup didn’t work? But hey, the premade controller works great especially for a kids room. Easier for her to use the remote.
cool video! how big is your print bed on printer? mines 150x150x150 wondering if i have enough room to print that thnks
I believe it is about the same for the WS2811, but each LED requires ~60 mA for full white brightness. At 5A, that should comfortable be around 83 LEDs. If you never go full white(FFFFFF), then in theory you could power more LEDs with the same 5A. As for you issues with the ESP8266/32, it could be timing, power delivery or who knows. Without seeing how you had everything wired, it is hard to speculate as to where your issues stemmed from. Personally, I only use APA102C/SK9822 RGB LEDs with the FastLED library and I have never had an issue. Separate 5V line to the LEDs and only the ground, data and clock lines are connected to the MCU.
And if you do end up using hot glue, it makes an excellent diffuser so you can 'pot' the leds in hot glue and that should help provide a more uniform illumination. If you want to step things up, you can use clear silicone as well to achieve the same effect, but it is also a lot more expensive.
In the nerdforge video, an acrylic diffuser sheet was used, which can make it look better, but more expensive
Yes, theirs looked much better but I didn't have the acrylic or a good way to cut it. I have an elcheapo laser from Banggood but it can barely cut paper.
@@Fugatech3DPrinting I've been tripping through many "leaf" builds and so far my favorite and most price worthy was a guy who got the idea the plastic plates, white, would work well. He hit it dead on. The plates were cheap, he laid them on the frame, cut out, glued, done... Looked just as good as the acrylic, could be cut with, damn near anything and the diffusing was truly nice. I liked it because I've got a pretty good "frame" design that I can print at most any size (300x300 build plate) and not having to fuss with printing diffusers, well, that rocks. It was a great example at improvising and well, one could easily do the same by printing out the frame, wrapping the LED's and experimenting with diffuser materials prior to committing to cutting for all of your frames.
Use esp32 with WLED, very easy for RGB addressable LEDs
Have you tried uploading a test sketch to your ESP's just to check they are working?
I could not get the leds to work with an ESP8266 either but I could with my Raspberry pi zero w. I think i will order some cheap raspberry pi picos and try a few projects with them since they seem to work on raspian.
Awesome project! I wanna print some for my self, I’m just getting started with 3D printing and don’t know how to get a perfect 1st layer. Could you explain how to get it?
Level your bed, make your bed a little bit hotter than normal for a smooth finish and try to reduce the elephants foot.
Did you ever get the electronic figured out? Not that it is needed, it looks great. BTW, I think you could have shortened the strips as long as you have the first LED in the address but again at least on camera it doesn't look like the overlap had much effect on the finished project. Great video, thanks.
Great job! Wanted to create this for a long time. How many led light did you end up using for each hexagon?
Wondering the same!
Hello! Thanks for your video. I will use it for build one for me. Do you use 5m ou 10m strip led for the build ?
Thanks for your answer
This was 2x 5m strips.
Don't use the logic-level shifter. I had the same issue with my WLED setup. Removed that and it works great.
Hi, im from spain and cant understand very well what was the exact details for get the final 3d printed hexagone.... High or low temperature? how much layers ? thanks
For the more transparent PLA, couldn’t you just make the first layer thicker?
Flash your ESP32 with WLED, it comes with a Bluetooth app for both iOS and a android. Full control and over 100 different effects
I Like how He Males His Kids so Happy
I have to ask, what is the name of your intro music?
i would love doing but more small size.... with 2 of those strips divide on 8 small hexagon.
i will do triangles in some time, if you need help, just ask.
what is the size u used
Try WLED on a nodeMCU or D1 Mini. Go look at DrZzs youtube lots of WLED stuff on there
How would you add touch sensitivity
the esp32 has touch input pins that can be used.
I had no issue with arduino. The only thing I can think is you neglected the fact the WS2811 are 12v leds not 5v, arduino is logic 5V, the WS2811 is logic 12v so the arduino will never drive the WS2811 without supplying 12v to it and controlling that with the arduino.
You could cut the LED strips every 3 leds to avoid the overlap... yes it would waste some, but i think it would look better
Yes but then the pattern would not be the same. It would jump around.
what is the difference between the other led strips on amazon the link you provided has multiple kind of LED like a rainbow colors
No real difference. They just have a controller that comes with them.
I love it!!!
What 3d printer did you use?
Great video! And I like your inclusiveness!
Nice ...great work.. try with arduino :)
With a 5 meters Strip can You Make 7 hexagon or only 6?
5m of the stripe im using i plan to make 16 triangles whith 10-12cm corner lenght
laser cut maybe the way to go
👌👍🔥
what size did you do these?
I think they were about 150mm wide. The STL is in the video description.
got my i3 mega s on friday. best printer ever. im doing this
Did it work mate?
It's hard to say what you were doing wrong - and you almost have to know programming to be able to debug. I think the key if you are not experienced with Arduino and programming is simplify. Get some 5 volt LEDs instead (WS2812B) - then all you'll need is the ESP32/ESP8266, a powersupply and the LEDs, you won't have to deal with logic level shifters. Use a simple program to verify that the LEDs work before adding wifi and other capabilities.
This is a description that is fairly easy to follow: www.instructables.com/id/IOT-ESP-8266-Nodemcu-Controlling-Neopixel-Ws2812-L/
Also worth reading is this best practices guide: learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/best-practices
Once you have the simple setup working, it shouldn't be complicated to adapt the code you wanted to use (more or less just making sure you include the correct libraries for your chip, there's different libraries for ESP32 and ESP8266).
Cute kids, thankfully they favor their mother. 😎
flash your nodemcu with wled then you can connect with blynk
Try WLED
What glue gun is that? Looks good.

Highly recommend you use an ESP8266 NodeMCU instead of an ESP32. Then check out something like WLED github.com/Aircoookie/WLED The ESP32 doesn't play nice with FastLED which is the most common arduino library for individually addressable LEDs.
fastled does work fine, adafruits neopixel libary makes proplems (i get some random flicker if i use it, also no levelshifter is needet, but i recommend one)

Well we can always call them pole and hole plugs if people gets triggered
i've never even heard of a solder sucker
Don't apologize for sockets/connectors names come on now
LED are to bright put some thing over the lights like some sorta See though tape
I do the 100th like
or just get a teensy and a power supply
Love the video, try WLED for the software it works well and has a phone app
github.com/Aircoookie/WLED
Im sure you already have this working now but lmk if you still need help (a year later)
sand buttom and paint it
YoU need a new mic
Why? Were there audio issues in this video?
It's still good but If you set the tone loud you can hear a Background noises for now I think it's good enough but If you get more subcribers than now which i think you get because your Videos are great you can maybe get a better one
And sorry for my bad English.
this is cool but could have been a 10 minute video without the rambling
LMFAO! I bet you are a hit with the ladies!
