LED Pixel Edge Lit Acrylic Sign

A simple project that demonstrates a simple way to make a customized edge lit acrylic sign. This sign utilizes addressable RGB-CW(red, green, blue, cool white) LED pixels that use the SK6812 chipset. The added white diode is not required, but does create a much nicer white color that really makes the etched/sandblasted areas pop. The sign uses 0.25" clear acrylic in the front and black 0.125" acrylic behind it on spacers. That creates depth and some shadows which add to the effect. Regular vinyl cut material was used as sandblasting mask and colored vinyl was placed onto the acrylic face for additional detail. A piece of aluminum u-channel extrusion holds the pixel strip, the controller, interface button, 18650 battery holder, and a SPST rocker switch for power. Standard 0.25" bolts and nuts are used to hold the two pieces of acrylic together and as spacers.
