This is more a test project if a WS2812 based matrix also looks nice in a cylindric shape. I am thinking about a much larger version, but first I want to learn on this small one. I am using the rpi_ws2812 python lib to directly drive the LEDs from the Pi.

First test after full assembling:

i really love this, i'm going to use your case design, but using nodeMCU instead of Rapsberry Pi

Is it ok if i use your case design and post in public?

  Are you sure? yes | no

That's why we are here ;-) There is also an instructable to this project:

https://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Matrix-Cylinder/

So if you use the design, please insert a clear reference/link to this project and insert links to the used files (e.g. case design) instead of just copying them to your project.

HI

This is really cool - I'd love to have a go building one as well...

Will you be including a wiring diagram?

Have you the cutting file for the frame? 

I'm kinda new to this so please forgive me if I break some social norm by asking.

Thank you

No problem, that's why we are here ;-)
I have written an instructable with cutting file and schematic:
