I’ve seen them, but they are quite expensive (hundreds of dollars). Your method is way better.

What sort of vinyl did you use? Thickness? Cost?

We don’t have a lot of matrix-y “display” patterns (yet?), Especially ones that work on arbitrary sizes.  
Doable, but not yet. Likely some SDF shapes.can be done ( @zranger1 and I were collecting shapes but we’ve both been focused elsewhere)

@jeff 's [polar Christmas topper](https://forum.electromage.com/t/polar-mapped-star/808) might have some good stuff for you. But it’s polar mapped, and I wonder if it needs to be to rewritten for normal matrixes? @jeff ?
