I uploaded two new 180º NeoJoint designs. One has a 20mm spacing (so LEDs are spaced out) and a 10mm one (where the strips are touching). Below is the 10mm pitch one.
Two more angles added:
Here's a quick demo video showing a square made with NeoJoints and WS2812 strip and a blink(1) mk2 to control them
I put up some quick "how to solder" NeoJoints. The technique I show is the fastest and most reliable I've found so far as I've been developing these.
Check them out here: https://github.com/todbot/NeoJoints#how-to-solder
What a difference sharp tools make! Same piece, same @Othermill setup, just swapped endmill, no post-process.
I've been re-laying out some of the joints as "NeoJointsV2".
You can check them out in the new NeoJoints repo:

I'm playing around with putting the screw hole in the center of the rotation point of the joint:

It'd be nice to have these as flex PCBs or even 0.6mm boards. I could have used these in my LED matrix build.
great minds thing alike! (or so they say!) i did something similar in the fall of 2015 for a rollup rgb display! http://elinux.org/LED_Matrix_Failure
Hi Dave,
Those are great! I like the strain-relief additions. Making a matrix with LED strip is exactly why I started on these. (and around the same time too perhaps!)
Hi Jonathan,
Yes, definitely! The current designs are optimized for a single-sided bare copper board made on a PCB mill, but I'm making a few small improvements and then will do an OSHpark run soon.
Are you planning on uploading these to OSH Park under Shared Projects?

I'm trying to just open these files in Eagle and every file gives me an error that they are not Eagle files - what am I doing wrong???
