Partitions (For LED/Pixel display)

thingiverse

I don't relish the prospect of soldering 225 LEDs together to create a display, so I devised a straightforward solution that eliminates the need for cutting and soldering these lights. This is an uncomplicated system consisting of two components that combine to form rugged plastic cubicles for your DIY LED display. The partitions are spaced to accommodate 30 LEDs/Meter strips such as the WS281** sold as NeoPixels or similar. The ones I used for this project were waterproof with a sticky back, boasting an IP65 rating. I printed my partitions in batches of five without a raft and at 30% infill. Depending on your filament's opacity, you may need to adjust this setting accordingly. The partitions exhibited some warping, so I designed the corner connector piece to stabilize the structure for mounting. Those printing with rafts or different printers might not require as many of these corner pieces; I used approximately 25.
