Today I finally finished my office background MSD
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?
It'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 you're taking damage
I’m interested, tell me more.
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?
You made it so.
WOW! That looks amazing!
At meetings, do you keep fiddling with it?
And when presenting something, do you
pretend toread from it?Yes.
The great thing about the acrylic top layer is that if I want too, I can use whiteboard markers
I always wondered who cleans all the marker "art"/graffiti from those panels on Voyager.
This is amazing thanks for sharing!
That is just awesome! I’d love to see some of the lighting effects.
I did a tweet which shows a few of the options. But anything Nanoleaf can do, I can do here. Including custom set ups
Tell me more about that chair?
I am tempted to copy this idea...
It's a Herman Miller given to me by my work.
I picked the colour for the Excelsior vibes it gave me
It looks extremely cool in that room
Now... I'd love to read a How To.
Beautiful work
Looking good!
@OpticalData That looks super dope!
