Hexalenses - Large panel RGB pixel lights

thingiverse

I had fun playing with the little hexalenses I built a while back, so I figured I'd try something bigger. Each of these panels consists of 19 hexagons, 80mm each. They can interface with the smaller hexalenses via zipties, or be tied together with a connection plate like the one attached. I used these panels for an installation at Flipside 2018. My install didn't go so well, but they're getting some use in at least a couple other projects already, so maybe they're useful to you. Here's a video showing the 3 panels I made for Flipside all doing their thing on the ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ae5QRV97kQ I push the little ws2811 push-through pixels into these. They're 12mm, IIRC. They're ubiquitous on amazon and aliexpress.
