Primary I designed this Hexagon tile set to hide my cables from the TV. So there is plenty of space for cable management behind the tiles. There are four eyelets on each base plate for using zipties.

Since the Tiles are featureing magnets to snap onto the base plate, they can easyly be removed or replaced for further upgrades and changes.

Changelog:

Update 24.02.2024
Added Half and Quater Tiles including Base in various heights
Update 10.03.2024
Add 15mm Tile for an "ESP32-2432S028R" - display (CYD)

Features:

Parts and Sizes:

The general Tile size is 175 x 202mm

The heights can go from 20mm up to 55mm in 5mm increments depending on the choosen base plate and tile size.

Parts:

Base Plate (10mm / 20mm)
Base Plate - Half (10mm / 20mm)

LED Clock Tile (Base + 25m height)
Cable Outlet (Base + 20mm heignt)
Standard Tiles (Base + 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35mm height)
Half Tiles (Base + 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35mm height)
Quater Tiles (Base + 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35mm height)
Bowties for connecting the Base Plates (tight or loose fit - version, depending on your filament settings)

Preparing the Project

Before you start this project you should make a Sketch how you want the tiles to be orientated on the Wall. The file of the "Base Plates" consists of 7 individual parts where 6 of them can be removed individually for defining how the cables should run and how the base plates are connected to each other.

If you miss this step and print the base plate without removing the connection sides, you have no openings for the bow ties to connect each tile to another and alighning them will be much more difficult.

Using Bambu Studio for customization:

Right Click on the base plate > split > to parts

Switch to the “Object” Tab and remove the unwanted parts

The LED Tiles can also be splitted apart for easy coloring.

External Hardware

Magnets D: 6mm, H: 3mm (6-12 per tile)
10mm wide LED Stripe of your choice (I used WS2812b)
Clock mechanism with 12mm long shaft (only if you want to make the clock tile)
mounting screws

Used Filament

PLA - Black (for Base and Tiles)
PLA - White (for the diffusor part of the Tiles)

Installation

The hole for the magnet is a tight fit, I used a hammer and a pin to put them into place.
Be aware of the magnet orientation. They should all be in the same orientation so you are able to switch tiles!
If your fit is more on the loose side (different filament / settings) then you should add little superglue before pressing them into the hole.

On the Cover plates be more careful when using the hammer.

The bowties can pressfit into place

Screw the Base Plates into the wall

Install the LED stripes into the LED Tiles

Install the Tiles and do the cable management

Have Fun!
