3D Printed parts
- 2 x Base
- 3 x Side Panel
- 1 x Slotted Side Panel
- 4 x Cover Plate - this is a thin print and the LED lights shine through it
- Assemble each of the PCB kits SEPARATELY by Adafruit's instructions. Ensure that all elements are as flush to the PCB as possible. If you are good at soldering and want a clean finish, mount all the LEDs on one side and all the other components on the reverse side.
- Place the PCB on the inner grooves of one of the base pieces
- Use inch long flexible wire to join the panels along the N-S direction. This orientation gives good flexibility and clearances while mounting panels
- Each glue-up pair used superglue and accelerant
- Match the slotted side panel and slotted arm of one of the bases to pass-through the USB cable
- Externally mounted reset / on-off switch
- Externally mounted USB-breakout board
