LED Cube jig and stand

thingiverse

This thing is a jig and stand for the LED kits available from Aliexpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-3D-Light-Squared-8x8x8-LED-Cube-White-LED-Blue-Ray-Kit-Christmas-Gift-3D/32311673719.html). The jig is used to line up the LED faces so that you end up with a square cube at the end of the build. The stand is eh...a stand. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% Notes: Print in ABS and acetone weld the parts together, or use PLA and SuperGlue (which is what I used on this build). Post-Printing Assembly Print in ABS and acetone weld the parts together, or use PLA and SuperGlue (which is what I used on this build). Because of the board layout on the supplied kit, I didn't mount the power input socket on the board, instead gluing it to a more convenient place on the rear stand leg, and running leads from the socket to the PCB. In the pictures you can see that after mounting the board, I pushed stiff conductive wire through the holes into the anode receptacles on the PCB - in retrospect, if I assembled this kit again, I wouldn't bother with the receptacles, I would just push the LED anode legs straight into the PCD and solder them in place. I also found it useful to glue the switch cover in place on the PCB mounted switch before mounting the board.
