The assembly of the DiamondLight starts with the 6 feet made of 4, 6mm rings and a rubber pad. The base is 10mm thick with cutout slots for the cable and adjustment for the U bracket screws.
Assembly of a panel requires the following. The standoff are embedded in the acrylic, hex cutout were made with the laser. The side cover have minor horizontal adjustment thanks to 4mm long slot holes. Painter tape covers the acrylic for protection during preparation. The outside edge of the main acrylic piece were sanded to smooth light diffusion. The LED assembly was completed on a support to get the required position and angle.
