iCubeSmart 3D Led Cube Light DIY Kit with 3D Animation Editing Software Squared LED 8x8x8 Electronic Toy for Children and Teenagers Learning…
$48.00
- [LED CUBE KIT] This is a DIY welding package for 3D cube light, a 3D matrix made up of 512 blue square LEDs, which can display a lot of colorful dynamic lighting shapes. It is suitable for students’ manual electronic manufacturing courses and welding exercises. Meanwhile, it is also a pretty innovative and meaningful small gift.
- [SIMPLE DIY] The PCB main board in this package has been well soldered and tested, and users only need to solder the LED lamp themselves, so users are only required to have a simple electronic technology foundation and soldering ability. There are 64 square holes on the main board to fix the LED and make welding easier. We provide paper welding instructions.
- [EFFECTS CAN MODIFIED] More than 20 kinds of brilliant animation effects have been built into the main board of this cube. Users can display the animation after welding and plugging in the USB power supply. Users can also modify the animation displayed through the 3D software provided by us. Our 3D software can directly generate a HEX burning file, and then download the HEX file to the light cube to run.
- [MAIN BOARD FUNCTION] The size of the main board PCB is 7.08*7.28inch; the main board is powered by 5V USB; there are 4 keys on the main board to switch animation modes (key functions are reset, start/pause, next animation, loop playback of single animation/loop playback of all animations respectively); the baseboard has a pin header for downloading programs.
- [PROFESSIONAL SERVICES] iCubeSmart has been devoted to the design and production of light cube for 9 years. We have designed various sizes of led cube with professional after-sales technical support. If you receive the product and do not know how to make it, or if there are fewer components for any reason, or if you need our help to modify the displayed animation, you can send us an email for any questions. We offer life-long technical support services for our DIY products.

Joshua Bordwell –
I recently purchased the 8x8x8 LED Cube kit and was very impressed with the included soldering jig. It made soldering the matrixes a breeze. However, after completing the soldering, my two-year-old son got ahold of the matrixes and twisted and bent them up, which resulted in almost a day’s worth of re-soldering and testing. Thankfully, the kit comes with extra LEDs, which was a huge convenience.
The instructions were decent and included helpful pictures that made assembly easy. However, I did find the software instructions a bit lacking. While the pre-loaded animations were neat, I would have liked the ability to adjust the speed of them. I had to use my multimeter to test the circuit board, as I wasn’t sure how to use the built-in testing feature.
Overall, this was a fun product that provided me with great soldering practice. While there were a few minor issues with the instructions and software, I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging and fun DIY project.

Nicely designed and relatively easy to put together with their guide. The final product is stunning with nice functionality and a bright, pleasing blue light. Helpful hint… TEST AFTER EVERY STEP. It is easy to make a mistake (you will be soldering over 1000 (yes 1,000!) connections and a single reversed polarity pin or short circuit will make it impossible to diagnose if you wait until the end. Just go slow and methodically and test with a multimeter after each section is completed and you’ll be fine.

8×8=64 LEDs, x2 legs on each LED = 128 solder joints per layer, 128 x 8 layers = 1024 solder joints (plus a few more!) gives a total of quite a bit of solder practice – then test to make sure that all the solder joints are still good…. BUT, when you get it running it really does look amazing, and if you want to give it a bit more effort, you can give it new patterns of your own creation!

The printed instructions I received did have an error. A photo shows an LED with the long lead marked as the cathode, and short as anode, which is wrong, but the caption says the opposite, which is correct. I mentioned this to the seller, and they were very apologetic and offered to replace any parts I had ruined. They also said they had already fixed the picture but that some were already out there. The english translation was a little rough in spots, but you can figure it out. Good soldering skills are a must. It took me many nights, but I enjoyed it! I would buy from this seller again.

Ok this thing is very cool when completed…..getting there is tedious. The rectangular holes they designed into the board for constructing the panel layers is brilliant!! As an experienced builder I had a good 5 1/2 to 6 hours into the build. Great kit but i wouldn’t suggest it to those lacking in patients lol.

Soldering 512 leds into a 8x8x8 squared matrix (1024+ solder joints) – test, test, test as you build. The designer gives you everything you need to test. Using the motherboard as the matrix building jig was genius. Test each LED before soldering it into a matrix. I found about 5 bad LED’s, but they give you way more than you need. Just find the bad ones before you have to unsolder them from one of the 8×8 panels.
BE PATIENT – if you get in a hurry or take shortcuts, you’ll find yourself rebending leads or cleaning solder bridges. Don’t use more than a 30 watt iron and keep the iron to lead contact short. I have a temperature controllable iron, so I was able to get the temp down below 350° C.
I couldn’t get good bends on the anode leads with the plastic strip they provide, but the tip of a needle nose pliers works great.
The instruction set is good – lots of pictures and detailed steps.
I won’t be building another one soon, but this one keeps the grandkids enthralled for a long time.
