Infinity Dodecahedron DIY 1/2 How to

number of led is 8pcs on 1 piece, 30 pieces = 240pcs total, leds are ws2812b, at 100% brightnes and static white color it consumes 9A at 5V, when running animations and sound effects it is about half so 4-5A at 100% brightness.

Wiring: sections in series: 1,2,3,4,5 and a junction between 3 and 4 having 1 segment attached, so the 6th element is wired in parallel to the 4th.

Im thinking about eventually making an infinity whirlpool room with a design similar-ish to this. It would probably either be a cube or a hexagonal prism with square walls. It would be filled with water with a whirlpool in the center. The only issue is I'm not sure whether the one-way mirror foil works underwater, or if it could be on the outside facing in...

[@bluemamba5317]

Projects like this really calls for mirrored glass, even the slight warping of the hard plastic ruins the full infinite effect

This may seem like a stupid question but how do you successfully place the last piece of plexiglass into the frame? Your frame looks like it's behind the Plexi and not in front.

What battery are you using to power the 144/m vs 60/m LEDs?

sorry about confusion, I changed the names now. files are in 2 types .skp and .obj, choose one you like. And in 3 versions: old (v8), newer (v14) and latest model (v16). I suggest latest model, I made iprovements to make it stronger, video about it soon. 1 model is 1 edge so you need to print 30pcs.

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

I wonder how a seamless sphere would look. You would have to have it thin enough, so we can make a plastic sphere. Then we need material X inside sphere can use a a small hole, and then the sphere has to be agitated constant motion while the dry time is super slow, but the sphere has to use a now moisture dry method, so an actual time, sine its a contained environment , probably heat loss method though its exterior. Then we need to light up the inside so we can see in and it reflects mired on the inside. What would it look like. Hmm.. A special mix of a reflective material inside could be energized to produce light and reflect... that may reduce the effect, but I would like to see what it would be like to see a sphere shape seamless.. hmm viewing inside into its reflective matrixes.. hmm.. Then we have if its malleable, can squash it a bit... changing the shape. I mean one could render it form a virtual environment, button reality it would look something possibly different. Which I find would be interesting, but yeah ,I really like the deca and lasohedrons, pretty cool. Since many different shapes. I thought a outside project where the light system is solar power so at night it would do soethign as that such.. hmm

how can I optimize plexi material? Do you have a drawing that I can use? I will probably buy plexi pieces that are 2x500x1000 and/or 2x400x300 Was it easy to just cut like you did? I was thinking of maybe trying laser cutting, but need an optimized drawing for that and it might melt a bit and become a hassle with the edges

[@quadsquad3087]

I bought something like 2x2000x1000 sheet (good for two dodecahedrons) and cut it to squares 250x250 and then cutthe edges to make it pentagon shape (I printed teplate on A3 paper)

[@JeepstarrMusic]

@@quadsquad3087 thank you so much for your answer, can I also ask you about the leds, i am no expert but I have seen people using a lot of cable running al the way behind the leds but you dont seem to need that. Also could you direct me to led strips that are individually programable and that can be cut at any point? I would like to have more lights than you as well I think, if possible? Its a jungle out there...thanks again...

yes, like I said 9A is max value, at 100% brightness and solid white color, if you set brightness to 50% and run animation (not all leds turned on at the same time) it will be around 2A

[@geroillescas6125]

@@quadsquad3087 i connected 5V and 2A and i think that i burned the controller 🥴. Thanks for the answer. I'm going to try again :)

[@quadsquad3087]

@@geroillescas6125 controller is only providing data signal, 5v is going straight to the led strip. Usually if you use cheap 5V 2A adapter and try to pull 3A from it, it can blow. If you have better one, it has over current protection and turn it self off. After reset it is working again. Try to connect only 10cm of a strip and set brightness to 10%, then connect whole strip and slowly increase brightness until over current protection trips. It is best to use lab power supply so you can see the amp draw in real time.
