Hey guys. Just a an update to my pixelizer project that I’ve been working on. I’ve added four more panels worth of LEDs and mounted them temporarily to some foamboard. The intention is for it all to be used by a couple of DJ friends of mine at their shows. Thanks to this community for making it possible.

Nice activity there. Looking good.
Thanks, it’s running a program designed for a single panel so still needs tweaking to make it work better over the four of them.
Can you give some details on how the right panel is constructed. It has nice clean little light boxes and I like how it’s lit on the edges also.
The frame is constructed with openbeam.

3mm black translucent Plexiglass is used on the front and sides with opaque plexi on the back.
The grid system to create the pixels was drawn up in adobe illustrator and used to laser cut 6mm thick cardboard. It ends up looking like a cardboard shelf for really small books.
I’m using these LEDs
which are inserted through a hole in the back side of the carboard.
I hope that kind of explains it, I’m terrible at explaining.
Thank you for the info. Laser cutters, yeah! Excellent.
That is some serious blinking! 
Nice going!
Looks great! I made one pretty similar following LeoneLabs PixelBrite instructable. There’s some great details on construction. http://www.instructables.com/id/PixelBrite/
I really like the look of the makerbeam corner pieces though. I’ve been having some issues with the strength of the microrax tri-corner brackets.
Thanks John, I couldn’t remember where I originally found the box design. The only downside to the openrbeam is having to cut threads into the beams to fix the corners. The makerbeam has threads precut but I went with the larger openbeam as it’s to be used at and transported to and from venues.
@Pim_Zwager Thanks Pim
