I don’t own a 3D printer and the quote for the parts was way too much (which I of course inquired about after acquiring all the other bits) so I redesigned them so that they can be cut out of boards and glued together.
The shop that sold me the aluminum profiles didn’t have enough opaque covers, so I ended up using baking paper instead (it works great, but is finicky to install)
When I finally got to programming, I realized that I don’t understand any of the code, so I wrote the code from scratch as well. For those who want to do that - check out wled (I wish I did when I started)
Long story short - I did everything “my own way” and made a crap ton of mistakes along the way, but the thing works and didn’t go up into magic smoke and I love it.
