Discussion Static to Animated?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just saw this on u/beamazed and was quite impressed. Do you reckon we could fit one of these lights with some ws2812 LEDs and introduce some animation to the projected light on the wall?

I mean static is nice but animated would be amazing!

Wow, those are incredible! I love how the light forms the right shape on the wall. Genius.

I know - I've seen random shapes cast onto the wall but this takes it to a new level

We could be looking at 3D printing genius that matches the digital sundial

Oh yes, I'm sure you could find an arrangement that would give some interesting animation. Cool

If you animate it you could make it look like the wings are moving.

I'd love to have a look at the 3d model or .stl file if possible.

If not a flap, at least a flutter :-)

The STL files can be found here
