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.

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

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

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

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?
