WLED + ESP32 Holder box with magnet lid. Vol. 2!
Description
PDFThis model is a box to support enhanced version of DIY LED controller based on WLED + ESP32.
I printed the model using PLA with both Standard and Strength OrcaSlicer settings. It worked perfectly fine. No support is needed.
Disclaimer: You probably don't know what you are dooming yourself to! Please, go ahead and buy a prebuilt controller from DrZzs shop! You will have a well-designed and fully working solution that only seems expensive.
However, if you are fine with some soldering, cutting and fitting… ;)
The project was inspired by Makers Mashup video: WLED & ESP32: The Dynamic Duo of DIY LED Projects.
This time, I added:
- support for a relay that fully cuts the LED power when you switch them off. Here is a nice video that explains the reasons: Extend the life of your LED Power Supply | WLED + Relay + DigQuad.
- support for IR sensor that magically works with any IR Remote control. Here is a video about such a solution: Level Up Your WLED Projects: A Guide to adding Components (no code!)
- support for Logic Lever Shifter. Here is the explanatory video: Logic Level Shifter and WS2812b LEDs
- 2 Data lines. Here are some explanations: LED Setup: Using Multiple Data Pins + WLED Configuration. EASY Setup

Model origin
The author remixed this model.
Differences of the remix compared to the original
The box is bigger to support additional elements.
You don't need to use glue or screws. Everything is tight enough to assemble/disassemble with bare hands.
The box includes additional fasteners to hold a relay, a IR sensor, and a logic level shifter.
There is an additional hole for the IR sensor to work.
