Good point! Would be cool if you could build a mold around it and fill the entire thing with clear acrylic. Regardless, it’s an outstanding piece of work. The symmetry and precision are incredible. You’re going to have to share your secrets!
Hi @allanGEE , there is only one real secret and that is ‘Patience’ That took a lot of time to design and build. The hard wood jig is the actual key to cube alignement.
I have no problems sharing details of this build. Is there anything that would like to know?
I have a bad habit of starting new projects before finishing current ones. I’ll try and finish my wearable panels… then I’ll look at attempting this. 
@JP_Roy , let me dig it up and post it.

Hi @Peter_Chestna ,
Thank you very much for this !
I am currently trying to adapt some of your existing posted sketches but that one really impressed me !!
Thanks again !!!
I built myself a hypocube and had always wondered about building a cube with addressable LESs. How many hours roughly did it take to solder? Are the capacitors essential? Do some LEDs come with the capacitor inside too?
Hi @Will_Tatam , what is a hypocube ??
Honestly can’t remember clearly but I think it took maybe 2 hours per slice times 8 so maybe about 16 hours in total. That is just the soldering, you must consider a lot more time to build a solid jig for LED alignement, another to bend the LEDs pins, another to straighten the solid wire… etc… Soldering was not the biggest or longest task in my opinion but I am experienced in electronic soldering.
I find that just about all strips have one added capacitor per pixel so I would guess that they are not built-in to the LEDs and they serve a purpose otherwise manufacturers would not bother to add them.
For the small added effort of soldering these small surface mount caps, I would not rebuild a cube without them myself. I certainly would not want to start building something like a cube and find out that I am getting flickering or noisy LEDs. The disassembly-reassembly would have killed me.
That being said, maybe they are not necessary but I did not want to take the chance for such a small added effort and cost at the end.
Believe me they ended up being surprisingly easy to solder.
