This DIY kit include three single color LEDs, 200 red LEDs, 200 green LEDs, and 250 blue LEDs.
Imported
[LED CUBE KIT] This is a DIY welding package for 3D cube light, a 3D matrix made up of 512 red, green and blue square LED lamps, 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. The size of the finished product after welding of this package is about 7.08*7.28*7.88inch, and the distance between the lamps is 0.9inch.
[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. Users can also download installation instructions on Google network disk link on the details page before purchasing.
[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 18*18.5cm; 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.

Not to be a jerk but I bought this as a gift and didn’t realize it didn’t come with the solder. So…yeah, that sucked.

A lot of work to keep everything straight and square. It’s worth taking your time and not hurrying. It pays off in the end by having a project work perfectly the first time. I highly recommend the case to protect your hard work. I think the best thing is having someone look at all the bent wires and solder connections, and saying “You built this?” Still trying to figure out the programming. Have fun.

This was an awesome project for me and my grade nine daughter. Lots of time to solder it all together but we’ll worth it in the end. Now we just need to get into programming our own light patterns. The ones that come standard are great.

This is a 8X8X8 LED Matrix Cube incorporating 512 Single color RGB LEDs for displaying various colors and patterns. This LED Cube was built using
iCubeSmart 3D Led Cube Light DIY Kit
from Amazon. As you can see in the pictures that there is a lot of bending LED leads at right angles required, thus took couple of days just to create the 8 layers of LED matrix and solder the 512 LEDs. You do have to take time & patience to do it right as it helps. Fixing broken LEDs after assembly is not easy. Most of the other components were relatively easy to setup as the main board was already soldered ready to use from factory. It also acts as a template to solder the 8x8x8 LED matrix.
The unit comes with firmware pre-loaded via the HEX file from factory with default animations that you see in the Video. If you are technically inclined you can also Program the Micro controller IC STC12C5A60S2 using HEX file firmware which BTW can also be modified (if needed) by the animation software (download it from a google shared drive as described by the seller) and using a USB to UART CP210x Bridge included in the Kit. The cube runs on USB 5vDC power. It needs more than 500mAh at times (Depending on the animation) and you may need 5vDC 2Ah power adapter for reliable operation.
Bottom-line: It is after-all an electronic toy, thus very bright and colorful. It does have some glitches once in a while and the cube animation hangs & the included animation could use some TLC but overall a satisfying long project.
Actually, it is much more easier than you think! – Enjoy the light show!
Rating the product with four stars!

The media could not be loaded.
I bought my Icubesmart 3D8S RGB Nov of 2018 and it sat on my office desk until last week (mid Feb 2020). The soldering is pretty simple but tedious. Connecting each panel to each other properly takes some patience.
The documentation, as people mentioned is seriously lacking, especially with the Windows based applications. I had OCX discrepancies and trying to follow the “non english” picture directions (which didn’t match what the installation program was even doing) drove me batty for 2 days. I tried on an HP Win10 laptop and an HP WinXP laptop. The programming application would not load on the XP, but it ran when I extracted the cab files to the same directory as the executable, which was a shock to me. I was able to locate the proper XP driver for USB programmer too. I never got either to work on my Win10 laptop.
After 10 different solder repairs (I fancy myself a pretty decent solderer, I don’t know why the thing doesn’t stay together), the cube worked, and I was pretty happy with the different pre-loaded displays. But, no rain. I wanted a cube just for the rain effect. Ok, time to learn the “Make your own Displays” program”. Wow, how horrible. But, I was able to open the existing example files and reverse engineer how the application does what it does.
Now to the programmer. What a POS. I have to keep hitting the program button in the app and quickly attach the 5v wire before it times out and fails…. lather, rinse, repeat, over and over. Just frustrating. I even bumped the baud down to 9600. I can always eventually get it to work and I am able to upload my own written displays. I will probably modify the connector with a small toggle switch on the 5v wire.
You have to seriously think out the timeline of the display you are making. I spent a lot of time running the “debug” to test what I had just wrote, and it would always crash ofter 5 runs. (Not the app, just debug, I would have to save the display, exit out of the program and restart it.) If you make a mistake in the middle, it is so time consuming to try and fix.
Too bad there isn’t a share repository for icubesmart hex files. (Hex files created by other LED cube programs are not compatible, yes I tried). It, would have been great if I had bought the model that had an audio input. One last comment, after dropping Windows for mac years ago, it would have been nice if there were mac apps for it or it was able to be easily connected to an Arduino.
With all the shortcomings, I still give it 5 stars because, it’s pretty cool. I have spent 2 days writing and testing my version of “Rain” with splashes, and it looks phenomenal in low light settings (The iPhone video does not do it any justice). I was thinking of next going for the 16x16x16 RGB (voltage color changing) LEDs next, but, wow. not going to do that.
