You can get plenty relatively quickly through AliExpress too, despite not being in AU.

Buying from AliExpress is cheap and fairly quick to arrive into AU/NZ from China.
My last order of 3,000 5v seeds from HTKL on AliExpress took 11 days.

Recently I got 5cm to try.... this is the lowest spacing I would go. 2.5cm and 1cm seem very hard to solder and apply heat shrink to.

so far they have been good, the wires are a bit thin but overall i am happy.

I think mounting them in diffusing strip will look amazing, thats my plan for next year on outlines if the failure rate isn't too high this year, something like this

At that point - why not just use strip?
By the time you add the seeds (assuming 3000 purchased = $440 inc GST), 3000 poppers $240
Thats $680 for 3000 seeds inc poppers, or $0.226ea
Pixels are not that much more, and way more robust.
If you can get away without using poppers it looks a little more attractive.

Yeah, $680AUD is steep for 3000 seeds.
Compared to $271AUD is cost me for 3000 5v seeds delivered in 12 days..
3D printing your own is not very cost effective (filament and power to run it).
