Here’s a fun one for all you Star Wars nerds. Please note that the only thing cut on the Glowforge was the acrylic face. Using the same parametric 3d printed lightbox design, I modeled one for a 8x32 LED matrix to use a small WLED controller. I UV printed the Millennium Falcon on black LED acrylic with the Star Wars logo and placed inside the 3d printed enclosure. I programmed the WLED controller with some effects that I liked, and now I have a one of a kind Star Wars lightbox!
Very cool
I love that! It needs a soundbox 
Stellar! It is amazing to watch … whether a Star Wars fan, or not!
That’s just fantastic!
Wow I love this one!
Buildin’ light boxes ain’t like dustin’ crops boy.
Ooh, I love this one! Spectacular job!
That’s REALLY nice… Did you buy the backlight module, or did you build the neopixel array yourself?
Here’s what I did to “build” the array.
Step one: Buy an 8x32 LED matrix and wled controller.
Step two. Plug them in together.
The parametric light box that I created was sized slightly larger than the LED panel, which was glued in place. I came up with this idea on Saturday, ordered the parts from Amazon which arrived the next day and the 3D parts were already printed, so I went with the simplest and easiest way to make make what I thought would work.
Of course it needs a soundbox. The Imperial March is definitely rigueur. Not to mention adding laser sound effects. Oh, the possibilities 
Really? I didn’t know Amazon sold matrices like that… SO many possibilities! Thanks!
The hyperspace noise for that first sequence!
What I could do is automate a sequence in home assistant to play the sound over whole house audio followed by the imperial march by using an Alexa command like, “You’ve never heard about the Millennium Falcon?” with Alexa responding by saying “she made the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.” Lights turn red. TV turns on and plex starts playing the movie exactly when the ship blasts out of Mos Eisley. Or something lame like that. You’d have to be a total nerd if you had something like this already in place.
Also me:
Wait… that is possible with Home Assistant and Plex? Tell me more! Specifically how to start playing from a certain time…
Yes, technically the Plex integration allows you to play and start from a specific timestamp, but there are limitations. It doesn’t like certain playback devices like fire sticks. I think that the Apple Tvr and the windows app work, but I could never get the fire stick to do it exactly.
Ooo i need to try it. Every groundhog day it needs to play a movie that I enjoy watching on groundhog day.
Oh my that is fun! Love the mixup of tech and gf and uv printing.
Wow, that is so cool!
Some of the possibilities include
and if I may toot my own horn
