Intro This is my first ‘project’ and it’s a medium difficulty project that requires some soldering skills and a computer to program the associated microcontroller. Soldering is not too difficult and there are plenty of tutorials to help with that. The skills that you will learn on this project will open the door to many more fun projects so it’s worth it to learn if you don’t already have this knowledge. With that out of the way let’s get started!Printing I decided to print the stones with ‘fuzzy’ just because it makes it look more organic but you might decide to disable that to be able to print faster if you like.

For the ‘open’ part, no fuzzy with transparent pla for best effect. Wiring Use the diagram for wire routing. If you haven’t worked with individually addressable LEDs before, there is a data in/data out flow that
