3D Light Cube LED lead bending jig

thingiverse

This is a simple jig for bending the leads of the LEDs for an 8x8x8 LED Light Cube. The kit for building the cube is widely available. There are a lot of LEDs in the kit, and bending them using a pair of needle nose pliers is very tedious. This jig speeds up the process. Hope somebody else finds it helpful. To use it, just put an led in the notch with the longer (positive) lead to the left. Bend the short lead over the the right, then bend the long lead down. I'm using a small flat-head screwdriver to bend the leads. Finally got around to finishing the project, here is the result: https://youtu.be/wtGOkR42Fko
