As a 3d printing guy myself i think you could shave off hours of this print with only few tweaks to the slicer and model: 1) you print VERY slowly, this creality printer is capable of exceeding 80mm/s with no mods while keeping the same quality of the print, you might need to start running klipper if will want go over 80mm/s. 2) you need 100% infill only on the bottom, you can use CURA slicer to set diffrent infill levels based on the height (example: 100% for the first 10 layers the rest should be only 20%), this will speed your prints like 3x. 3) you dont need such a complicated shape to begin with, an array of normal boxes with a square holes would have the same effect, considering of course that you will have a diffrent way of mounting it (not just hanging it on these leds). 3a) an alternative mount (such as small magnets) would be ideal as these no name manufacturers will change the model of the leds, they take whatever is the cheapest at the moment so you could get a board with diffrent pattern, casings, etc.
I appreciate the feedback a lot! I’m new to 3d printing. I am only good at the programming aspect lol. I will take your comments into consideration for the future. Thanks
@@ItsMeMas You will have colorbleed none the less....use a separate grid + diffuser and print the grid black. It's what I'm doing now for a 32x32 grid. I tested it on an 8x8 version and it's magic!
Nice work :) Slap an ESP8266 (or ESP32) on that badboy and it will serve the webUI and controll the leds all in one package. Expose an api endpoint on it and make a tiny minecraft mod to display whatever the player is looking at (maybe there is already a mod to do webhooks like this) :)
It would be really nice if they provided links to the LED matrix, an STL for the 3D print file, etc. It's one thing to show the results of a cool project, but it's even better to show others how to make it for themselves.
This is super cool. You took something seemingly complex and made it enjoyable and interesting without getting stuck on details. That's super cool. Been thinking about how to do that with my videos.
Thank you! Yea this video could have been very long if I showed every detail of the project. However, I also wanted people who do not have programming experience to enjoy the video. I'm glad you found it enjoyable :)
You should use a completely opaque filament (not sure if I would do it in white or black, I imagine they have their own unique pros and cons in their effect on the appearance) for the walls of each LED cell, mated with the translucent diffuser front. This should mostly eliminate color bleed between each cell and give you a much more crisp, pixel-like appearance.
May look even better if you print the diffuser layers in white, but pause and switch to black for the rest of the print to futher sharpen the details and prevent light bleed in things like the rose bush or other textures with a lot of dark pixels.
this is pretty cool! i would have loved to see a little more b-roll of the final matrix working, though :( your editing is top notch--just work on your pacing and storytelling and your videos will go from great to truly epic!
Great video! I think providing some insight into how the code works or sharing it on github could help a lot of people working on similar projects. It's hard to balance entertainment with education though so it's totally up to you.
I'll upload the GitHub link once the code is cleaned up. Currently, I keep the repo private since it stores all of Minecraft textures and I am not allowed to distribute them. (itʻs also a bit messy lol)
would be cool to make it so it shows whatever block your holding in game onto it, if thats possible (probably could make a mod to help with that, though it sounds complicated to do)
I literally had the exact same idea like 6-7 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I can't program, which is why I put the project off for now. But on the other hand, I am an engineer and am relatively good at designing 3D models. I can understand if you find this too intrusive, but if you want we can maybe work on it together sometime and probably improve it even further. Even though what you already achieved is impressive by itself. So apart from your answer, great work and keep it up!
Great video! I would love to see some links to the products you got and maybe even the 3D print file and the code you used if I wanted to try to make this myself. I love the end product and how short and to the point the video is!
Love it! 😁 wanted to get one of those for a long time but was also baffled by the prices (and sometimes annoying software) of those premade things. Btw, what 3d printer do you use exactly? Your prints seem pretty clean
This is a fantastic idea and I really like how you showed every step of the project without over complicating things. Definitely got a lot of inspiration for my future projects. Thank you!
Amazing project, but I'm worried if using Minecraft's textures would potentially allow copyright holders to sue you because technically if you will sell it, you will gain profit on the textures.
This is definitely my next project after i finish my dartboard, i have been experimenting with ws2812bs alot and this would be fairly easy to make a full block out of it, except while writing this comment i think i found a problem with the edges as i would have to put some of the plates kinda inside it and not on the outside right?, if anyone got an idea how i would fix this it would be appreciated
now do it 5 more times for full blocks
That would be cool, maybe in the future

I think higher infill everywhere is good, don’t want color bleed.
@@ItsMeMas Agreed, plus a low infill might be visible through the part if the light is shining through.

Sounds like a great idea! thank you for your feedback!
Maybe just strap it onto your VR controllers to make the Vivecraft more immersive for the ones watching you playing it 😂
Why is this so underrated, This is such a good video.
Thank you!

I like how you got straight into the video. Cool project btw
Thanks!

i was expecting this vid to have thousands of views but was genuinly surprised of how many views it had. this deserves more views lol
Thank you!
This + microphone + voice-to-text, always listening and changes block when it recognizes a name :D

Dude, how do you only have 3k subscribers? I was totally expecting 100k+ with how well done everything was!

ngl this was a sick video, would love to see more content like this in the short format you do
This was awesome I feel blessed this randomly came onto my fyp. You earned a sub
Thank you! im glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this was amazing lol I can’t wait to watch ur channel grow!
Hello! Great video, and amazing editing. You got straight to the point and didn't waste the viewer's time. I am also exactly your 1000th subscriber.
That's so sick! Really cool end result! Probably will be building something similar to this myself!
Not enough views! This video is amazing!
Thank you so much!
this is actually super cool
Just writing a comment for the algorithm :D Just subscribed, that's exactly the kind of videos I love.
would love to see more (and longer) videos about this
Okay this is sick, good job
this is pretty cool! i would have loved to see a little more b-roll of the final matrix working, though :(
your editing is top notch--just work on your pacing and storytelling and your videos will go from great to truly epic!
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it!
My next videos will definitely get better lol
Very cool! I didnt know 3D prints made such good diffusers.
This looks fantastic! Thanks for showing how you built this, I want to make this now
thanks for the quick video, straight to the point and it also looks really cool!
Really cool, would love to see a more detailed video
that's actually insane! you should create a website as a hub for all of your creations to automate your house.
This is such a cool idea. I think I'll try to make myself.
Liked, commented and subbed. Because I want to see that full block
This, this is some quality work for sure !
Thanks!
Very cool, great idea!!
I don't have anything to say I just wanted to help boost the algorithm
I appreciate it!
You are a hero

@@micah_tilton Any progress on this?
Now take it and make it look like whatever block you look at in minecraft
Would be incredibly cool to see this on a streamers background where viewers can change it every 10 minutes
would be cool to make it so it shows whatever block your holding in game onto it, if thats possible (probably could make a mod to help with that, though it sounds complicated to do)
It would be cool seeing this done with the paintings
(And maybe some of the bigger ones too)
this looks great!
You could use the WiFi functions and can host a Webseite where you can select a image or minecraft block to display.
Great video i want to see more of your projects i. The future
idea: make some functional blocks IRL (pistons, redstone, etc.)
That sounds pretty cool! I may do this in the future
Man that's fire !

JK you awesome and ofc you earned a sub!

in the future, I hope to polish the stl files and make a case for the led matrix. Thank you for your feedback!
You've got to make a full block and give it the textures for the Redstone lantern. Hang it up in your room somewhere
This needs more views!
Also nice that it actually is fully diy (apart from the led panel but i also wont solder 60+ leds) and uses no shady chinese software/apps
underrated!
thank you! hope you enjoyed
I've ordered a led display and a power brick for it! Time to implement a new project!
Now I want to make one myself!
hell yeah! thanks for sharing :]
Thanks you for watching!
Love it! 😁 wanted to get one of those for a long time but was also baffled by the prices (and sometimes annoying software) of those premade things.
Btw, what 3d printer do you use exactly? Your prints seem pretty clean
Damn that is pretty nice. btw those are capacitors, not resistors ;)
Can you tell I’m not an electrical engineer LOL I’m in CS
As a Minecraft fan I would love to make one
This is a fantastic idea and I really like how you showed every step of the project without over complicating things. Definitely got a lot of inspiration for my future projects. Thank you!
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it!
i want to make this how can I start and where to get the codes and stuff?
This is so impressive, I wonder if its possible to make a full 16x16x16 cube.
Meanwhile AlexGyver: yeah, yeah
alexgyver already have made similar thing 5 years ago except it wasn't mc related (but you can upload custom images on it)
This most definitely deserves a subscrib
Thank you!
Would be so cool if you could set up animated textures or a slide show
I want it. I WANT IT! This thing is awesome. Screw my old projects I'm making this
fire 🔥
Awesome
Amazing project, but I'm worried if using Minecraft's textures would potentially allow copyright holders to sue you because technically if you will sell it, you will gain profit on the textures.
Wow amazing!
After watching I scrolled down to see how many views this had, expecting like a couple 100K. But only 750 views I did not expect :0
I appreciate it, thank you!
Great idea and video. Would you be willing to make a vid going more in depth about your process?
it is times like these where I wish I had a 3D printer
Get one! They are amazing, and have the potential to pay for themselves if you are willing to do some marketing and such.
Cool project!

English is defo not my strength lmao
That's cool
How do you convert the textures to the LED commands? I don't see the code on your Github
The diffuser looks great! What filament is it made of and how thick is it above the LEDs?
You should make it an actual site so people can control the one in your house.
Commenting for the algorithm
Love this!
Can you make a Download for the 3D printing files and the code? I would love to make one myself.
What library are you using for the toast notifications?
I'm using react-toastify
Much appreciated, thanks
Cool name
this is super cool!!! i wonder if they're stackable for say, a wall of blocks or even a double flower?
That would be a cool feature!
where can i get the code?
Can you share the code? I’d love to make this, but i’m so bad at coding.
Nice
I need that! Love ya! :D
Is the code accessible? I see the cad files but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place
you are so underated!
Thanks!
Yes it worth the subscribe!!!
Gah damn now I want a 3d printer
Looks like Mojang saw this video because I literally just saw this exact light at Target. Except it didn't have as many options and was $49.99
Very neat
2:07 Why did the subscribe button light up when you said to subscribe, what witchcraft are you doing
nice
Now make 2d minecraft using these
Tutorial in depth?!?!
I really want to do a electronics project 😢
do those paintings in minecraft
itll look sooo cool
Wow cool
I really like the quick pacing of the video
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it
