Description

Here are the files to create your own hexagonal LED panel from a 5 meter light strip.

The DXF files are for cutting the flat parts from services like Xometry, Sendcutsend, or Oshcut.

My choices:

Outer panel from 3mm acrylic

Inner panel/s cut to the thickness of the width of the light strip. My strip was 10mm wide, so I chose 4 layers of 3.18mm laser cut hardboard since it is very cheap. (4x A, B, C, but 12x D since it shares the same shape as the remaining segments.

Diffuser printed from white PLA, 100% (its only 1mm thick) on a textured PEI bed and is pressed into the frame.

Assembly:

  1. Using 3mm dowel pins for alignment in the holes, stack and glue together the laminations of the 6 segments, and make sure there is a little sticking out for aligning the front panel.
  2. Glue together the 6 segments at whichever orientation you want, taking note to ensure a clear path for the light strip.
  3. Align and glue the back panel to the front panel.
  4. Trace the strip through the channel, starting with the thin opening designed between two of the panels.
  5. Remove the adhesive backing and adhere the strip to back panel with one edge against the front panel.
  6. Trim the excess lights from the strip.
  7. Mount the wall hanger to the wall using a level. Hanger requires 4 nails. The top edge of the hanger indicating where the top of the panel will be.
  8. Attach the panel to the hanger using the two protrusions. You can use a command strip or double sided tape on other parts of the panel to further adhere it to the wall.
  9. Press in the diffusers to their openings.
