Get a unique photo zone for your party – it’s hard to resist taking a photo of a large glowing LED installation with changing light effects. Take it slow, if something doesn’t work it’s better to move away and come back to it later rather than risking blowing up some LEDs. There are spaces for M3 nuts in the mount_main (like with the center_wire_guide) but you don't need to use them, as it's unlikely to be pulled on with much force. This allows you to see what your lighting experience will look like and how it will elevate your space/brand. The faces of the dodecahedron are laser cut from 1/8" or 3mm acrylic and are coated in one way mirror film.

To secure the mount_base and mount_main together, use three 8mm M3 screws, inserted through the holes in the feet. We want the DC jack to be center positive, which means that the positive line is connected to the central pole inside the jack.

That being said, you don't really need the wire; you could just glue the feet directly on to to the mount_base. Prioritizing ease of maintenance and durability, we design our luminous artworks to withstand the test of time. Try not to over heat your solders, you could again damage the strip or melt the 3D printed frame underneath.

Acrylic scratches very easily and during the cutting phase it’s very likely you will ruin the clean faces if you have no protective film. Instead, infinity mirrors are generally assembled using one mirror and one clear plate covered with a one-way-mirror film. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. Its important to cover the middles of the wires with heat shrink tubing before you install them, as there are lots of crossing wires at each vertex.Whether it's shipped directly to you or expertly installed in your chosen location, Inluxid ensures a seamless integration in your space. This is also essential if you want to change my code, because the guide is the easiest way to figure out what LED is where. The final step of this intractable is to install the mirrors into the frame of our LED dodecahedron. At Inluxid we combine art, design, and engineering to create mesmerizing lighting products and installations. The lights can be coded with patterns of your choosing, such as flying comets, infinite stars, fireworks, colour pulses and many more.

Please note that the drawing only includes the 3D printed and laser cut parts, and not any of the electronics. Begin by cutting out a section of one-way-mirror film that will be big enough to cover all 12 faces. On the surface of the guide there are various numbers and markings arranged along each of the dodecahedron's edges. Overall the more expensive option produces a clearer finish and saves time, if you’re on a budget I would recommend the film option.Like in Step 3, once the epoxy is partially dry, you should clean any excess epoxy off the outer faces.

In this project, I learned how to design a PCB and got a little bit more experience with electronics, Arduino programming, and Fusion 360. If you would like to use custom or alternative LEDs you may need to change the dimensions of the frame. Please note that the exploitation of LED suits sooner or later leads to the breakdown of moving parts (wires, LEDs).
