🔷 Hexagon LED Wall Panel – Fixed Layout Design

⚠️ Important Assembly Notes (READ FIRST 🙂)

• Black parts MUST be printed – this is mandatory
• Black parts are inserted directly into the numbered holes
• They fit only in one correct orientation
• It is not possible to insert them incorrectly
• Always follow the reference image and numbering

These parts are designed to self-align, making assembly easier and mistake-free 🙂

Description

This hexagon LED wall decoration features a fixed, non-modular layout.
All hexagons must be printed and assembled exactly according to the numbering shown in the reference image. Every numbered piece is required to achieve the correct final shape.

✅ Assembly is easy and beginner-friendly, as long as the numbering order is followed carefully.

⚠️ Important:
This design cannot be rearranged or modified. All parts must be assembled in the correct numeric order to ensure proper fit and appearance.

📌 In the future, new designs will be released, including fully modular and highly customizable versions.

🧩 STL / 3MF File Contents

The provided 3MF file includes:

• All 36 numbered hexagon panels
• Correct orientation and spacing for printing
• LED holes and internal wire routing channels
• A dedicated LED power entry point at Hexagon #36
• Preconfigured and tested print settings

🔌 Hexagon #36 is the starting point for LED wiring and power input.

💡 LED Specifications

• LED hole size: 6 × 6 mm
  (Any type of LED can be used, as long as it fits through the 6×6 mm opening)
• Placement:
  • One LED in each corner of every hexagon
  • LEDs pass through the holes, not surface-mounted
• Fixing method:
  • Use a small amount of glue or tape in each corner to secure the LEDs
• Minimum LED length:
  • At least 10 meters of LED strip is required for the full design
• Designed for smooth and continuous edge glow lighting
• PLA compatibility:
  • PLA can be safely used with any LED type, provided the LEDs do not generate excessive heat

🖨️ Recommended Print Settings

For best results, use the settings included in the provided 3MF file.
The values below are tested and recommended.

Material

• PLA (recommended if LEDs stay cool)
• PETG (optional, for increased heat resistance)

Nozzle & Layer Height

• 0.6 mm nozzle → 0.18 mm layer height (recommended)
• 0.4 mm nozzle → 0.12 mm or 0.16 mm layer height

⚙️ Quality & Accuracy Settings (Bambu Lab A1 Combo)

These settings apply specifically to Bambu Lab A1 Combo printers.

• Auto Cycle Counter-Hole Compensation: Enabled
• Elephant Foot Compensation: 0.2 mm
• Additional elephant foot prevention: Enabled on bottom surfaces
• Precise Z height adjustment: Enabled
• Machine G-code Z-offset:
  • Default (Bambu Lab): -0.02
  • Used in this project: +0.15

⚠️ Important:
Z-offset depends on individual printer calibration, filament, and build plate condition.

📘 How to adjust Z-offset (Bambu Lab A1 Combo):

1. Open Bambu Studio
2. Go to Device → Printer Settings
3. Find Machine G-code Z-offset
4. Adjust in small steps (±0.02 mm)
5. Re-test first layer before printing all parts

Always follow official Bambu Lab tutorials if adjustments are needed.

Walls & Infill

• Wall loops: 1
• Detect Thin Walls: Enabled
• Infill density & pattern: Default values are sufficient

Supports

• Supports are required only in specific areas
• Use default support settings
• Top Z distance: 0.21
• Bottom Z distance: 0.21

Bed Adhesion

• Brim: Use only if bed adhesion is weak
• Brim object gap: 0.25 mm

🔧 Assembly Instructions

1. Print all 36 numbered hexagons
2. Insert LEDs through the 6×6 mm holes in each corner
3. Secure LEDs using a small amount of glue or tape
4. Route wires through the internal channels
5. Start LED wiring from Hexagon #36
6. Insert the black parts into the numbered holes
7. Assemble all hexagons strictly following the numbering
8. Glue all parts together
9. Mount the finished panel on the wall

🛠️ Assembly is simple, intuitive, and does not require special tools.

⚠️ Safety Notice

• Glue is required for assembly
• Safety glasses must be worn during assembly and LED installation
• Disconnect power while working with LEDs
• Decorative use only – not a toy

🆕 Future Updates – Modular & Custom Designs

Upcoming releases will include fully customizable systems, allowing you to:

• Place hexagons anywhere and in any layout
• Mix large and small hexagons
• Build designs with black parts, without black parts, or mixed
• Create highly modifiable structures
• Insert photos or images inside hexagon frames
• Reconfigure layouts at any time

These future designs will offer maximum creative freedom.
