How long should the LED strip be for this project?

@vitietthiet_691085 For anyone who also wonder, one side of the hex is 4 inches. Each hex will need 24 inches of LED. We have 13 hexes so 24 * 13 = 312 inches or 26 ft or 8 meters.

Printed with Sunlu PLA. Looks great

I bought an X1C to complete this project as couldn't print on P1P

Printed with Prusament Petg. The world bases were printed with clear pla and the toplayers with white. The world tiles were printed with petg. all toplayers were ironed

Any chance to merge the top and bottom map .stl for multicolor printing?

Forgive my ignorance, but is there a specific white filament you used that may have better translucency? Or are the layers for the white low enough to diffuse the light? Thank you for sharing!

@Mrheartburn_962778 I printed them in clear pla until the layers that went below the black country tiles, that helped a lot
