"As this was working, I wanted to test more. When flashing the firmware for ZeDMD, I noticed it could be flashed as ZeDMD HD as well:265x128 pixels! How cool is that? Finally, those Sega games like Baywatch and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein on my real DMD and readable (not cropped). I ordered two 128x64 panels (p2) from AliExpress. Including shipment, it cost around 70 euros, still cheaper than the PinDMDV3.1 sold for 229 USD. To my surprise, those panels were delivered in one week. That's quicker than my local Chinese takeaway! But the size of around 518 x 128 mm didn't fit into my cabinet. I searched for a box to mount them in and spent a long time searching the internet, but couldn't find anything. The only option I found was a 3D printable wall-mounted ZeDMD HD frame (3d printable wall mounted zedmd hd). I don't have a 3D printer, and the 3D schemas included too much. I just wanted the frame, not the boxes next to it. I checked online services for printing, but the costs were high, including the shipping. When I watched a video on VPU of the ZeDMD HD, it looked like the DMD panel was way bigger than the backbox (or almost similar in size). But when I checked my backbox, my panels were much smaller. I contacted him via discord and he said all was fine. he just had a smaller backbox that I have. On a Dutch website where we discuss Vpinball, I posted: 'Who can print 3D for me and what will it cost?' A user named dizzytal responded quickly, offering to print it, although he lived on the other side of the country. I explained that I only needed the frame, not the box for the circuit board and power, and if possible, to print it twice so I could also replace one of my two goDMD clocks as one is looking worn out. He printed it for me. I arranged the delivery, and within a couple of days, I received a well-packaged item, wrapped perfectly to prevent any damage during shipment. it looks like a construction kit It is a model kit ! Showing how the two 'A' marks on the pieces should be aligned and connected together. the fronts of the prints looks pretty good as well The construction is reinforced with three small bars for added stability 4x2 constructed. This photo shows the inside of a printed frame for the LED panels. There is a type of cable duct where the power wires can run through, and the panels are held together with a bracket that also secures the flat cables. and this is the final product. The frame is around the 2 panels. Unfortunately, I had a second print for my GoDMD clock, which is the same size as the ZeDMD HD panels, but because these are 64x16 panels, the screw holes are in a different place. So, I'm not able to use it bummer The frame is designed to hold a 3mm plexiglass, so I ordered that as a tinted one as well. To power and connect the panel to the PC, I ordered two long USB cables. Both of my GoDMD clocks run on USB power. Some people say it will work, while others disagree. I believe not all the LEDs will turn white at the same time for an extended period, so I'll test my setup. So 1 of the cables will be used to power the Led's and the other for getting the data(and power) the ESp circuit board. To be continued
