I think the reflective is good because, unless your looking real close to the visor, you won't be able to see through it.
what thickness PETG are you using?
LOL...I'm glad I(as of right now) do not have to drill all of those holes. Now I know to buy a drill press before I try this project!!! haha well done!
did you ever consider cutting 5mm holes in your sub visor and mounting the leds through the plastic from the rear? its just that this is the way i had planned tackling the led matrix and wondered if you had opted for this way due to issues etc.
i suppose that the if you require a clear sub visor, and mount it my way, the light from the leds may travel along the plastic and create a red band of light.
also, does the 32/8 led matrix you bought from sure 3 or 5mm leds?
I'm using 3mm LEDs from Sure Electronics.
I was wondering why mine seemed so much more crowded than yours! I'm using 5mm, and I honestly think that 3mm is the way to go for this instead. The 5's will look pretty bulky, but I don't think they'll provide much more light than the 3's
Beautiful work man, glad to see one of my buckets being treated so well! I may have to steal your foam idea...
No, I haven't answered that question because I simply don't know, but it does seem to fit in the back. I will tackle that later and let you guys know. I don't blame you for holding off on the investment.I'm not sure if you answered this already, but how are you planning on fitting the Sure Electronics board inside the helmet?
I think both methods will provide the same end results. It's just a difference on what holds the LED to the visor.i just pray to god you are going to do a wiring schematic for this -
Its interesting that you chose this back mounting method for your leds and volpin chose the way i had mentioned... itl be interesting to see if this has any effect once fitted...
