those brackets will hold the sidepanels on the bottom. need some cutting first.
step one of wirering the sidepanels up .. some copper sheets to connect panels and electronics-tray
gold leaf to protect the copper form corroding
now we can start with the leds
44 per side, deep red and cold white (plcc2).
sometimes soldering got a bit tricky...
step one was to connect everything to ground.
first, wanted to put the leds in groups of 4, but that wasnt that beautyful on the edge. so i decided to split them up. some things became quite tight ...
thats just a third of alle cables that need to get through this.
more on that in the next days

today we head on to the light inside the case.
to light the inside up iīll gonna use this LED. this is a 1w lumi-led emitter in daylight white and itīs unbelievable bright. i have to use a led because thereīs not enough space for a cathode.
the coppersheet is for cooling the led. uncooled it would melt within seconds.
test set-up. the strange red stuff is old thermalglue. looks ugly . smells ugly, no further details ...
the first heatsink was a bit too small (60-70°C), so i made a bigger one and 2 small ones for the resistor. that thing getīs pretty hot , too (90°+).
not that beautyfull, but works fine
another testsetup.
one led to light up...

Great Job Cutting that out! I'm about to start some cutting of my own.
You use a Dremel or a Jig Saw?
If that's the case don't bother posting. give constructive and honest feedback, or there's really not much point in posting anything.in my mind i did. if i posted what i actually thought i would have lost like 15 rep points like i did with the v for vendetta case
