It took over a year of getting all the parts together and is back lit my nanoleaf panels (hence the lines and gaps at the edge). A worthy trade off for the fun effects!

      The nanoleaf was mostly because I had them in a cupboard and thought this would be a fun use, but I already have designed on a V2 with better lighting and accurate static borders

        Sick! Where did you get the ship design? Is that something you made and printed?

        You could also control the Nanoleaf panels to get them to flicker when you’re taking damage

        WLED + microprocessor [ESP32] + neopixel LEDs

        A lot of my house has custom made WLED fixtures I control with my Home Assistant setup. I also just setup a hyperion server and that is a TON of fun.
