Crystal Glowpop is a new take on my original sound-reactive LED cube — now wrapped in a sleek, crystal 3D-printed enclosure. Inside the frosted case is a 5×5 WS2812 LED matrix driven by a ATtiny85. The animation is fully sound-reactive, creating vibrant light patterns that pulse and shimmer in sync with ambient audio.
The big upgrade? The case.
This version uses a 3D-printed translucent "crystal" shell that diffuses light beautifully, turning the cube into a glowing ambient sculpture — perfect for desktop mood lighting, chillout spaces, or DJ booths.
🛠 STL files are available for download, so you can print the enclosure yourself and build your own Crystal Glowpop at home.
