Silence667 commented 3 years ago

I have print the scelton from file with my 3D-printer. Now i just want to make a version of the stencil. In Inkscape the stencil is just 450mm and the scelton just have the size of 500mm. Need i to change the size and how could i do that? Thanks for your help.

Hi @Silence667,

when increasing the skeleton size, keep the spacing of the LEDs on the LED-strip in mind: Their spacing must equal (or bigger) than the spacing of your reflectors.

Concerning the stencil: You probably have to adopt it to your custom configuration on your own. Maybe you can use the script create_layout.py within this repository (which reads all according values like spacing, border size, etc. from the wordclock_config.cfg.

Best, Bernd
