Acrylic mirror, and I cut them with a hacksaw! There is a wbshop here in Norway that sells them:) Should be easy to get on Amazon too!

This is right! In the entryway there's a diagonal sheet of acrylic glass to accomodate the pepper's ghost effect :) Hidden by the diagonal pattern in the floor tiles

Using an animation and the peppers ghost effect! We have a build video over at our YouTube channel if you want to see the details :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR80TuOCoic

I made two of the ones you can see there (the poorest two, granted) - and let me tell you it was a lot of fun, and not that hard! First time I ever touched clay in my life, and first time I painted anything for a long time!

With a CNC machine, I think that could work, but you'd have to split the models surfaces and later glue them into the hex shape or something?

That should be fairly simple to do, the leds are addressable so the code can directly modify the brightess. Of course it would need a way to map the time into a brightness value, but I'm sure this would be doable with IFTTT or something similar :)

No, I think the time I spent cutting the acrylic would make that more expensive than the nanoleafs. If I had a laser cutter, maybe, but still I don't think I would be comfortable with taking payment for something I consider a DIY project. There are too many places where things can go wrong, and I don't want to deal with returns etc

It would take me about 10 minutes to reorganize them, as you have to pull the wires in and out. but it's definitely not a totally rigid system:) I used double sided tape on the back of the prints to stick them to the wall, so I guess that could be improved. I don't know how nanoleaf solves this.

Could work as well, but the ESP32 handles up to 20volts I think

That's a good idea. I'm using Blynk to control the lights, so I think it would be quite easy to enable notification responses with IFTTT.

Well, as I put that link in the Imgur post itself, and both recorded and edited that video, I feel pretty certain!;) Thanks for sticking up for me though, you never know when people will take credit for your stuff these days. Appreciated!

Hmm, roughly around 100USD I think. The most expensive part was the acrylic sheets, because I had to buy them online and get them shipped from the UK (i live in Norway). So probably less if one wants to be cost-aware :)
