If you’ve seen one LED matrix, you’ve seen them all. The size and pitch may vary from one panel to the next, but it’s the same basic idea: a bunch of LEDs laid out in a grid. There is at least one glaring exception to this rule now, however. A hobbyist who goes by the name yotudero has built a unique LED matrix that almost looks too good to be true. With some 3D-printed parts and a few basic electronic components, you can have one too.

The key to the build is a custom housing designed and built by yotudero. It has a 3D-printed backplate that holds everything together and acts as a mounting point for the LEDs. A 3D-printed grid sits on top of the backplate to cleanly separate the light from the LEDs into individual pixels. This was spray-painted white...
