Stargate V2 [WLED] - with video assembly guide

As my initial stargate project (this was my very first upload here some months ago!) was cloned somehow I decided to also add an improved V2 with some modifications.

What changed:

• the housing is smaller → less filament usage / less space usage!
• the gate holders are optimized → may have a look to the second video! assembly of the gates and the holders is now really really easy!
• plug & play with WLED → you can use any board you like. is used this one → https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CLGTSH3N?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

What do you need:

• ESP8266 or another board of your choice which supports WLED → https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CLGTSH3N?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
• WS2812b stripe (60 LEDs/m) with 35 LEDs → https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BTVBTHQ5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
• 3 single Jumper Cables → https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01EV70C78?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
• solder skills (see my first video - it's very very easy!)

The filament I used:

• transparent eSun filament for the diffusors. You can also use the Bambu PETG Basic profile and have no issues! https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FXVGYKL?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
• Bambu grey:
  • https://eu.store.bambulab.com/de/products/pla-matte-filament?variant=43992833327323
• Giantarm gold silk as I ran out of bambu gold silk :P. You can also use the Bambu PLA silk profile and have no issues!
