If you think copper bands touching with a magnetic mount to hold it in place is going to work reliably, good luck with that.

I’ve seen some Tetris-y blocks that did a simple 2 wire connection (power only) via touching pads…

And you’ll see how fussy that is. Now try adding a data line, which BTW, you can’t fork with normal WS2812s, without losing individual addressablilty. (Yes, you can use the mystery LEDs which will handle this, see my [post](https://forum.electromage.com/t/timing-of-a-cheap-strand/739) re that).

Good luck with it. It’s not going to be easy to make it so good that it’s not frustrating and perhaps even a danger as above.

Keep in mind that NanoLeaf etc all use tabs not merely magnetics so they depending on friction fits, and they don’t design them to be moved around a lot.
