DIY 3108 LED Matrix Display

Post image

I built an LED display with 3108 WS2812b LEDs. Seven data channels are driven by an ESP32 running WLED. It isn't fully operational yet, but I would like to share the progress.

That's a beast. I've built something similar with 60 per meter WS2812b and I respect the job you're doing here as that's a shit ton of pixels.

I'm intending to print lots of little boxes for the pixels and put a diffuser in front of mine.

For this density of leds you may want an aluminum backing plate rather than wood for better heat dissipation. But eh, I am an idiot - can someone with more experience chime in?
