3D Light Cube LED lead bending jig

thingiverse

This jig makes it easy to shape the leads of LEDs for an 8x8x8 LED Light Cube. The kit to build this cube is widely available and comes with many LEDs. Using needle nose pliers to bend all these leads can be very time-consuming. This jig speeds up the process significantly. I hope others find it helpful too. To use it, simply place an LED in the notch with the longer lead pointing left. Next, bend the shorter lead over to the right and then curve the longer lead down. A small flat-head screwdriver works well for bending these leads. I'm finally done building this project, check out the finished result: https://youtu.be/wtGOkR42Fko
