Pixel Bracket / Frame for WS281x Pixels

Brackets that can be used to mount pixels, such as around windows and garages. Each piece interlocks with every other piece. Pixel are inserted into the back side of the bracket (7.5 mm diameter holes), and only the bulb protrudes. The brackets are provided in 8", 6", 4", and 2" sections, as well as varied length end/start pieces (used at the end of the run, and/or when turning 90 degrees).

Once you determine the required lengths of your project, use a combination of the brackets pieces as needed. Note that on the corners (ie where turning 90 degrees), an extra pixel may be required between the two adjacent holes due to the length required; this pixel would be hidden inside the corner to the frame. If needed, cut the bracket in Bambu Studio to desired lengths.

To mount them, I drilled a small hole thru the bracket/frame, and screwed 2 ½" screws through the bracket/frame and into the wall/mortar on my house.

Version 1.3 now includes 10" bracket pieces

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.2 now includes 2 interlocking corner pieces;

• Corner Piece A based on the pixels pointing inward (this is how I installed them; By pointing pixels inward, it maximizes the reflection off the brick. ie. more of a glowing effect vs individual points of light) 

  

• Corner Piece B for those who want the pixels pointing outward towards the audience  

  

Video below shows the brackets I installed on my house; 2 x windows, 2 x garage doors, 1 x front doorway (brackets used for everything besides the roof line; Arches on windows/doorway are the same principle but were custom modelled to fit my arches [not included in this model but may upload something in the future. Message me if you are interested in the arches]).
