Instructions

Print:

Print the Diffuser Screen with these settings to give the screen a horizontal “scanline” texture:

• Top/Bottom surface pattern: ALIGNED RECTILINEAR
• Internal solid infill pattern: ALIGNED RECTILINEAR
• Sparse infill pattern: ALIGNED RECTILINEAR
• Infill direction: 0

If using white filament for the Diffuser Screen, printing it on a textured plate will make it scatter more light and be dimmer. Use a smooth plate for best results. A textured plate will work great for clear filament though :)

For the LED matrix, you'll need:

• 16x16 LED Matrix - e.g. https://aliexpress.com/item/4000544411175.html
• ESP-Wroom-32 - e.g. https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005972312714.html
• MAX4466 microphone - e.g. https://aliexpress.com/item/3256803608057399.html
  or
  MAX9814 microphone - e.g. https://aliexpress.com/item/3256805923391884.html
• Power Supply 5V 1.5A-15A (~2-5A will do for most uses) - e.g. https://aliexpress.com/item/32844702891.html or https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006126703620.html
  or an old USB cable (cut one end and connect the + and - to the LED matrix)
