It took over a year of getting all the parts together and is back lit my nanoleaf panels (hence the lines and gaps at the edge). A worthy trade off for the fun effects!

Have you heard about my lord and savior WLED? You could build an extremely powerful backlight system with no seams.

WLED + microprocessor [ESP32] + neopixel LEDs

A lot of my house has custom made WLED fixtures I control with my Home Assistant setup. I also just setup a hyperion server and that is a TON of fun.

Looks awesome! Do you know what a good method for evenly backlighting an MSD like this would be?

The nanoleaf was mostly because I had them in a cupboard and thought this would be a fun use, but I already have designed on a V2 with better lighting and accurate static borders

You could also control the Nanoleaf panels to get them to flicker when youโ€™re taking damage

Sick! Where did you get the ship design? Is that something you made and printed?

Itโ€™s by Suricata! He has some MSDs on deviantart and did some lcars for STO. This is his latest Voyager one which he was kind enough to share
