Framework Desktop LED front panel

Framework Desktop
1

I replaced the custom tiles by a custom LED panel. I used some WS2912b custom LED stripes that I had laying around.

These LEDs can be directly hooked up to the ARGB header on the framework motherboard. Pretty easy task. For now I’m using the framework_tool to control the LEDs, but I hope, that OpenRGB support will come at some point.

The wiring is messy, but well hidden behind a 3D printed diffusor. It is based on the Framework Desktop Tile Generator. I had to modify the front panel, but it was a pretty easy task using a sidecutter.

That looks realy nice!! I like it :slight_smile:

Can the airflow pass the material? How do you manage the Airflow?

I never ran into issues with temperature, so I just didn’t care.

But if I’ll experience higher temperatures, I’m considering wrapping fabric around a 3d printed frame.

That looks so cool! I love it.

Agreed about hoping RGB support arrives eventually. Meanwhile, I’m planning to wrap a couple shell scripts around framework_tool so I can easily switch my fan LEDs on and off…

…just realized my first line weirdly echoed kmh’s. Not trying to outdo you, sorry! :laughing:

Thanks for pointing out the tile generator, was planning to print a 3x3 for the front fan intake. This will save me a lot of time :slight_smile:
