One year I wanted to put some big RGB LED ornaments in a tree but all the commercial things I could find were opaque plastic and not nearly big enough. So I made some of my own that could plug directly into a Ren48LSD's outputs.

Materials

  • Coroplast
  • Hot glue
  • Short 6" pieces of PVC
  • Dumb RGB strips (the roll kind)
  • An RJ45 breakout board

Shapes I Googled "3D geometric shapes" and found plenty of examples, some I could print out and cut out of coroplast, then hot glue together. For example, here's a cube that's one piece of corplast; scored, folded and glued together it made for a nice box for testing the concept.
