Product Description
[Fun DIY] It is a fun Led Cube kit DIY electronics kit, learning soldering kit. Children can get happiness and a sense of accomplishment in hands-on making.
[Soldering kit] Buyers have to solder it by themselves, and need to prepare electric soldering iron and solder wire by themselves.
[Auxiliary Soldering] There are holes on the motherboard to assist in soldering the LEDs, making soldering easier.
[Spare LED] We provide spare LEDs to prevent possible welding errors.
[Animation effect] It has more than 20 kinds of built-in dynamics. After the buyer completes the welding, it will be displayed when the power is turned on.
[Software Modification] Users can modify the dynamics it displays by using the 3D software we provide.
[Key adjustment] There are 4 buttons on the main board to adjust the dynamic effect of the display.
[Power supply] Use 5V2A USB power adapter or USB Portable Charger.
[Difference between 3D8MINI and 3D8S] The distance between LEDs and LEDs of 3D8MINI is 1.3cm, and the finished product size is 11x11x12cm. The LED-to-LED spacing of 3D8S is 2.3cm, and the finished product size is 18×18.5x19cm.

Amazing Product!
Ok, this thing is amazing! Yes, itâs got a ton of LEDs. Yes, it requires patience to bend and solder all of those little leads together. But⦠once itâs all done itâs truly something to stare at!Pros: circuit board acts as jig for the LEDs to maintain alignment. Plastic tool given for bending pins over can be used as a gage for setting the planes of lights into the board.Cons: get ready to possibly go crossed staring at all this little lights.Be patient! Itâs worth it!

DONT TRY THE ANIMATING PROGRAM…unless
unless you know very well what youre doing. the chip used for the mini and the regular cube are different. the tutorial video that is linked on their website is for the bigger cube. also, the program this seller/website provides to upload animation files to the cube is old and does not have updated current chips. you have to download the updated controller for the chip from the manufacturer website (the chip type is printed on the chip itself – and the schematic provided is for the big cube not the small one). anyways…my cube is “dead” now with no animations even though i loaded the factory animation which they do provide. of course it could be user error, but this should give you guys a heads up!

Great fun if you like soldering
This is a mini version of a very common 8x8x8 kit listed elsewhere. It appears that the same company that produces Hexidos DIY kits also produced this one except the LED’s are half size. Instructions are almost the same and all the components are the same except in the instructions it tells you to use a 2mm plastic strip to get an accurate right angle on the anode. That strip was not in my kit and I consider it very essential to getting a decent assembly. So I grabbed that same strip from my Hexidos kit and it worked perfectly. Hopefully the manufacturer will double check for that part so future customers don’t end up with a snarled mess.

Busy work, but at the end it looks great
There are 512 small LEDs, and “millon” of soldering points, so it will take some time to complete, so be carful to follow the instructions.But the end result is amazing — Recommend.UPDATE: I sent an email to the the seller requesting the to modify the animation (“Software Modification”). Waited for a while – no response. Disappointing, especially that the say they provide such softwareUPDATE-2: Eventually got a response with link to the software. Thanks.

Itâs busy work but bad quality overall
The electronic equipment is fine but the stencils and boards are not consistent at all. My stencil was not uniform and the stencil on the board was so loose that led fell through it. It was impossible to solder with steady hand. Unless you have serious soldering skills and can work without stencil wonât recommend to order this
