My requirements:

  • No visible Screws
  • No glueing
  • Diffusor should separate the pixels very well, an should have very thin walls
  • Diffusor shoud have a light color on the top to be inconspicuous
  • Face of the front should be nice looking

 

Especially the frame needs needs some support.

You will need a printer with 240mm in X or Y direction for the middle part of the frame. If you have a smaller printer you have to split the part in the middle and glue it together.

 

I used  a PET foil with a thickness of 0,4mm which I had used for bult faceshields during the corona pandamic. And for the diffusion layer I used 4 sheets of 0,075 thick diffusor films from amazon.

As screws I used M4 (8x6mm and 4x16mm) together with the cheap threaded inserts with 5,4mm height. I inserted them with my soldering iron and the tool from CNC-Kitchen: https://www.printables.com/de/model/167924-case-for-cnc-kitchen-threaded-inserts-soldering-ti 
It's a huge difference to use these tools compared with the standard soldering iron tips.

 

I use the display together with home assistant and the project: https://github.com/lubeda/EspHoMaTriXv2
