Duality HexGrid - Nested Hexagon Matrix System/LED Hexagon Grid

I created this system with the same personality and profile as my Duality Track System and Duality 7.

**New files added 1/28/26.  Hex-Grid now contains new models for NEST configuration (See New video).

NEST allows you to run continuous LED data through each hexagon, creating a matrix of hexagons, greatly simplifying the wiring and creating an absolutely amazing look!

 Create your own hexagon grid for LED strips.  You can use single-color/no data strips or addressable LED strips with WLED for example.

I have created a model of the stencil seen in the video that is free to download.  You can print that out and start getting an idea of your pattern as well as the size.
