Love how the 5 PCBs slot into each other to form the final shape.

With respect to the assembly: do yourself a massive favor and let the PCB fab also assemble the LEDs. With a simple bill of materials like this it will add very little cost, it saves you a _lot_ of time, and it might also reduce the chance of component damage from adding too much heat or from accidental ESD strikes. (I don’t know how much these Neopixels can handle, though.)

From the article:

What's next? ...using PCB assembly...

I don't agree with this. The board and components are trivial to hand solder.
