A nontrivial percentage of my new-to-electronics grad students try to do this exact thing to their non-ideal-density LED strip. This year I'm sending them this video as a cautionary tale. Thank you!
The balls are of approx 37mm diameter and the lowest density strips of neopixels are 33mm. the only option is to use ws2811 chains or design your own boards. Looking forward to your next project
Probably already answered on the Element14 community forums or somewhere else on their website, but they call themselves that because the 14th element on the periodic table is Silicon, and I guess Element14 sounds more cool than just calling your business Silicon. ..oh yeah..also very cool helping hands hack with the house wire and alligator clips! I may make one for myself so I can Hold All The Things!
Pong balls as LED diffusers was something I NEVER THOUGHT OF! My gosh that's a great idea! Very cool!
OMG the 5 stages of troubleshooting = SO TRUE! Such a great video, fun to see your process, it will be awesome when it's done!
This is exactly the kind of energy that will get me through the rest of this pandemic and I support your inevitable viral success 100 percent

Hahaha send them my condolences
"Aw man, aw man" I know that feeling. Cool shop too. Better luck on the next project!
I hope you make this at some point when you can get the parts you need without testing your sanity. It looks like it would be really neat!
Great video! So enjoyable. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Wow. I was planning on building a LED cube...
Guess I will wait until I have enough time to not get stressed out.

Or buy the mini 19mm Ping Pong Balls, just sayin...
Caffeine + Lockdown + Project =)
As usual, really fun and super dynamic video !
"I didn't mean to make this project hard on myself" could be an alternate name to your channel.
