    Here I printed multiple white covers, testing different printing methods, and I also tried doing the connecting pieces in white, just to see how it looks like. I think I like the black ones better. Anyway, you get the idea …

      I’ve thought about multiple instances myself…

      I was thinking a whole bunch of raspberry pi 7’ screens with just one module each spread over a huge window with that film… mmmmmm lol

      That would look awesome as a magic mirror

      I’d also love and RGB controller module… maybe the seed studios gear might be an easy integrate…

      Pi screens might be fairly cheap… probably find 8" I was only thinking the 7" official one for ease compatibility…

      I’d LOVE to see this if you manage it…

        What printer do you have?

        Only just got mine a few months ago Flashforge Dreamer… Working way up on longer prints…

        Cant wait to try the wood and metal filaments…

          Problem with using screens attached to the rpi is that they will all display the same thing, whereas a tablet, being a separate device, can load up MM² as an external URL. It doesn’t have to be a tablet, it could be something completely different. For that matter, they can be rpi zero devices with a screen attached. Those things are $5 each and while MM² won’t run on them, you can still load up a browser on them. :)

            What you see there are laser cut wood pieces. The connectors and light cups are done on an Ultimaker 2.

              hmmmm yes forgot about that rpi Zero… hmmm that does spark some thoughts…

              I wonder if I am allowed to use this software for displaying info in our small business…

              Picked up a cheap Nexus 7 tablet recently… 7" I think… still pretty good and lots around… they gave them out with new mobile contracts for a while…

                Other than being ‘too much for what you’d use it for’, old tablet are cheap to come by. The trick is going to be keeping them running. I do like the rpi zero idea because they would all be connected to my main network and I can easily push updates to them that way.

                  For the record, I’m in the same rpi user group that’s chanting: PXE … PXE … PXE … (ideally wireless, but that’s a big overhead to have, ethernet would be fine)

                    Hi
                    Can you provide product info for the 2 you’re comparing? I like the lighter one. Thanks
