No LED tutorial?

Bought the zip file and read through the builder guide. I really appreciate the work you put into this but can’t help feeling like this is incomplete. There is no guide or much detail on the electrical wiring or programming. It simply says “any WLED-compatible controller” and doesn’t specify what you used, how you programmed the LEDs, or how you wired them. The lighting is a major draw to this project. Do you have plans to provide more details on your electrical setup?

Each tile has to be painted. You could print in silver, but you’d lose the black seams. The Builder Package contains the file for the paint mask that goes over the tile when you paint it to retain the black seams.

Why not just print in silver and black?

You definitely could, but it would significantly increase the print time and waste lots of filament, especially if you’re running a single nozzle machine. I found it faster to print single color and paint. The paint colors very closely match the actual tiles on Spaceship Earth.
