LED Globe

I saw a similar LED Globe and wanted to make my own.

It uses an ESP8266 Wemos D1 Mini running WLED.

There are in total 80 segments in the globe, each with 1 LED.

I used 2 of those strips: WS2811 2811 IC Full Color Pixel LED Module.

The strips have 50 LEDs each, so I cut 10 off and used 2 strips, 40 each for each half of the globe

For printing there are 55 MainPanels, 5 MainPanels with PowerConnector and 20 StichPanels.

They interlock into each other by connectors and don't need additional hardware to hold together:

On the picture of the 3D Model you can see how they connect all together.

Basically always 5 MainPanels together and a StitchPanel in between.

For the bottom group I used 5 MainPanels with PowerConnector and glued a Power Connector to the hole, but you could also run a cable through it:

The tolerances are perfect for my P1S using BambuLab Basic PLA.

Also the LEDs just click in place:

I advise to print 2 segments and test for yourself.

Here is also a video of it:
