This project is made with hexagon and LED strip. The size of the hexagon needed to correspond of the LED space of a 30 LED per meter strip. There was the needs of 98 hexagons to create a rectangle of 90x43cm.

And there began the journey of making hexagons :

Cutting more pieces :

To make more hexagons :

It may seem a lot, but that was the easy part ! The edges with 30° angle could be cut by flipping the wood resulting in time and wood efficiency.

The edges were glued together and hold by a rubber band until it has dry. 

The tricky and underestimated part was to align the hexagon together.

First step, join 6 or 7 hexagon :

Second step, create a full line :

Third step, assemble all :

It was time for the epoxy part :

Creating the mold :

There was 3 purr, the first one of 2mm with the mold empty, so all the wood is embedded in the epoxy, the second with the wood frame of 17mm to fill the hexagon, a third and last one to fill half the lines and the border of the rectangle. Between each purr and 72 hour period had to be respected to let the epoxy cured

Some screws were places to give the attach to be able fix the table legs.

While the epoxy was setting up, it was time for the electronic.

There is a driver card with 5 power output with regulators that can give 3A each and a ESP32 controller with 5 output with Neopixel protocol.

In order to add some processing power there is also a Beaglebone Black that can control the Neopixel data. I will detail the part in an other project.

After some polishing and creating the legs the final result :
