This little LED Cube is really pretty and easy to build. You can customize the Color and Type of LED´s but you have to choose 5mm LEDS.
Parts you need:
5x 5mm LEDS (Colour is your Choice)
1x USB Cable to connect with Computer or another 5V Power Supply
Some silber wire to connect everything.
1x 150 Ohm resistor
(Additional 4x small rubber feet)
Tools you need:
Soldering Iron
some solder
nose pliers
side cutter
Hot Glue Pistol (with Hot glue Sticks obviously)
HowTo:
After insert all LEDs to their Place connect all Anodes (+) among themselves. Also Connect all Kathodes (-) among themselves with the silber wire (this is the hardest part because you need a little flair.) After that cut your USB cable on the side that will not fit in in the Computer or something and strip it a little bit. Cut off the green and white wire. Connect the red one to our resistor and then to our anodes and the black one to our cathodes. TEST IT! NOw fix everything with a huge huge huge amount of hot glue so it will be isolated and cant move anymore.
Thats it.
Additional you can add some rubber feet under the Cube as you can see on my picture that will improve the Stand of the Cube.
Leave me a Comment if you have Questions.
!ATTENTION!
if you build this thing you work with electrical current and voltage. If dont know what you are doing don try this at home! I accept no liability for damage to the hardware and / or damage of any other kind. You build this on your own risk!
