I've been sitting on this for a few days, because this thing is really hard to capture on video. But here's my LED cube with its new 3D printed frame and mirror acrylic panels. I like it.

Thanks to @jasoncoon for the laser cutting.

And here it is. It fits. It can be assembled. It still works.

I printed some placeholder panels in natural PLA. They're kind of a cool effect, though not what I intended. I'm planning to replace them with half-mirrored acrylic. Now that I know the dimensions are right, I can order acrylic panels.

It's hard to see when they're backlit, but the top and side frame pieces are the same silk chrome PLA as the rails in the base (see 🧵 14).

The LED cube's base came out okay. The Pixelblaze fits snugly, and the back panel looks better than it needs to. The printer is still printing the rest of the parts.

All glory to @jasoncoon for designing and manufacturing the LED cube. I'm just designing a new enclosure for it.
