The build process started by using th LED matrix to determine the outside diameter of the cylinder required for to which the matrix would attach. The size was marked out on a piece of maple, and precisely turned on a lathe. The inside of the cylinder was hollowed out to allow for positioning of the particle, wiring, and button. Next, we calculated the required size for the acrylic cover, lasercut it to size, and formed it using a heat gun to match the radius of the mounted LED matrix. Finally, we laser-cut plywood rings to capture and secure the acrylic cover around the cylinder.
