Making a LED Matrix with 3D Effect

Описание: This video shows how I built the LED Matrix with 3D Effect. The grid of the LED Matrix consists of 192 rhombuses. Each rhombus is light up with one LED. WS2815 LED Strips are used. The diffusor is a Polypropylene foil. The front cover foil is made with a cutting plotter.
