I was inspired to try and make a modular decorative wall light based on some I've seen, so I ordered some magnetic connectors, fired up Freecad to design an enclosure, and got to work.

It's a lot easier project than I expected, and if you want to give it a try, here is the stuff I used to make this project:

The STL files:
pileofstuff.ca/project_files/hexagon_light/hexagon_light.stl
pileofstuff.ca/project_files/hexagon_light/hexagon_light-lid.stl
pileofstuff.ca/project_files/hexagon_light/hexagon_light-lid-2layer.stl

The magnetic connectors:
pileofstuff.ca/r/bnxiu

ESP-01 RGB module:
(ebay) pileofstuff.ca/r/naxw0
(aliexpress) pileofstuff.ca/r/2i2iz

And the code I used: github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX/tree/master

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.
