My Infinity Cube

thingiverse

Borrowed a 3D printer for two weeks from a friend to see if I really want one. I printed some things here and there but nothing functional. I gave it back... and then the justices started flowing. Looked up some hyper cubes and saw the price... Eww.. Way over priced. Instead of just taking an STL and printing it, I thought it would be better to make one from the ground up to fit 10mm LED lights. For this project I’ll be using the following LIGHTS: WS2812B/WS2813 If you’re soldering skills are on point use 144/m strips. If not, you’ll be better off using 60/m CONTROLLER: Wemos D1 Mini I’ll be paring this up with Dig Uno as it will contain a logic level shifter and several other safety features. If you don’t want to to use a Dig Uno I’ll show you how to add some of the safety features with other bits and bobs. I’ll add details on this later CUBE: I’ve included the stl files for the cube and the little cover/shelf for the led lights. POWER: 5v 8amps . Im going to use the 60/m lengths, which will require a bit of power. . MIRROR: Im still tossing up which to use. Premade or make them myselves. Going to try premade first. I’ll be using the same looping as some of the other folks use. Can’t fault them on that. WIRES: I’ll be using some CAT6 Cable I have left over as it will help with pushing them through some sections and making sure that they stay where they are meant to be. Just note: I’ll only be using these for connection from one led strip to another. But you can use what ever cable you have laying around. Step one: Grab a bottle of your favourite sauce cause you might need it. Step two: Print up the STLs I’ll be splitting the STLs in two.
