 ===== Basics =====
-Many YouTubers / Influencers have original [[https://nanoleaf.me/de-DE/products/nanoleaf-elements/?category=elements|Nanoleaf Elements]] on their walls. They look really cool, but for some, a cheap copy is sufficient.
-Therefore, the idea was to simply 3D print the panels yourself and then use the [[https://kno.wled.ge/|WLED Project]] as a basis. The hardware for this is inexpensive, and with a good model, you can surely print nice panels too.
+Many YouTubers and influencers feature original [[https://nanoleaf.me/de-DE/products/nanoleaf-shapes/?category=triangles|Nanoleaf Triangles]] on their walls. While they offer a striking visual, a more affordable alternative is perfectly adequate for some.
+This sparked the idea of simply 3D printing the panels yourself and then utilizing the [[https://kno.wled.ge/|WLED Project]] as the foundation. The necessary hardware is inexpensive, and with a good 3D model, you can certainly create some very attractive panels.
 ===== Hardware =====
+Here's what you'll need:
   * [[hardware:esp32:start|]] (any model)
-  * [[hardware:ws2812b:start|]] LED Stripes
+  * [[hardware:ws2812b:start|]] LED strips
-  * Power supply

-Since the available shapes all have some limitation, I will probably recreate my own shapes in [[https://cad.onshape.com/documents/631fada1f2102df38ec92615/w/0bf10fa788be7bb3f5e981ed/e/f3fc9fe9e2596355fd80daa2?renderMode=0&uiState=643d5db25dc4f40dfefb2ca3|OnShape]] (or OpenSCAD) based on Nanoleaf photos. For this, the parts list will also grow.

+This means the parts list will also expand to include:
   * Diffuser sheet
-A friend also suggested using pogo pins as connectors. That sounds good, but it makes the internal circuitry more complex because I don't know yet how I would need to wire the WLEDs then.
+A friend also suggested using pogo pins as connectors. While that sounds like a promising idea, it would make the internal circuitry more complex, as I'm not yet sure how the WLEDs would need to be wired in that configuration.
 ===== Optional =====
-Theoretically, you could also connect a microphone to the ESP32 and then operate the LEDs in a "sound reactive" mode, although it's usually quiet in my (work) room and only the keyboard can be heard. And during video calls, it's never that dark (at least not in spring/summer).
+Theoretically, you could also connect a microphone to the ESP32 to enable a "sound reactive" mode for the LEDs. However, my workroom is usually quite quiet, with the main sound typically just being my keyboard. Additionally, during video calls, it rarely gets dark enough for such an effect to be particularly noticeable, especially during spring and summer.
