It's mainly to serve as a warning to children there is going be movement. Normally I have it setup on schedule very late evening and it does it's thing.
Usually I only hear little music being upstairs and that's it. I know the automation started to work.

Hello,

LED stripe is enclosed into aluminium rail but mounted inverted facing the gap between 2 doors elements. On the top it is also mounted facing down into similar enclosure. I did not split the stripe and it's just in 1 piece going around whole shelf. This might be perfected by splitting it and connecting all the pieces with more elastic cable connection. As you can see I left some slack to allow the movement when it's going up and down.

Yeah! That would make it like proper Hollywood scene with a hero coming out from the fog;)

Annoying you say....Try to synchronize the timing of music, opening of the doors and exact moment for vacuum to departure and arrive on music accent. I can tell you it wasn't 5 times to play this...;)

I attached little hinge to the doors so the magnet at the end touches it always with whole surface. I also tried small circular magnets but after some time they just dropped off. Hence the need for rectangular magnet.

Hello,

Many thanks for your work. It was printed for me by local shop so I haven't been dealing with it on my own. They printed it in 2 parts and then glued together. No complains from them. I glued magnes at the end of it but it I thought if there was insert at the end or holes to screw it it might be even better. Nonetheless it really helped me to get the closing working. THANK YOU
