In this video I would like to show you how I build an Infinity LED CUBE using Arduino, ESP32, FastLED library and 3d printing technology. The cube is hevely inspired by cube produced by Hyperspace Company.
LEDs used in the project:

the confidence of gluing everything together before testing it, masterful

Oh my god i cannot even glue 5 leds before realizing I wired them wrong

I didn't buy them online, sorry. Try order them precuttet and tempered in glass store. There are 288 leds (I made a mistake on github description). I used M2 x15mm wood screws

THIS is how to make a video! Were wondering if we could bridge a cowork and explore some fun projects together in the future. Any possibility can we reach u out:D

Awesome job!! Thank you for sharing. What kind of filament did you use for the print? PLA, PLA+, PETG?, etc? and subscribed and liked!

@mecharms 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I used PLA - Spectrum 1.75mm, color: DEEP BLACK. but if I had to do it again, I would use PETG. At least for corner elements as they are quite fraige.

Absolutely loved your cube. Could you please share material cost & # of hours it took you to make your infinity cube? Thank you

@mecharms 4 ай бұрын

Thank you! I didn't track time I spend on the project. But I would guess that it was ~20-30h + video editing. Programing took me a long time. As for the material cost it was ~150-200 USD.

Amazing project and video. I am trying to make this work on a cube with 14 pixels per strip because I already have loads of 'em, this has 12. I have my control box ready and my cube ready for the pixels but I can't figure out the routing and direction of the strips. Also, I am having trouble with the numbers in the arrays. After altering to match my strip sections, the sections do not display correct. Would you post the new wiring / routing diagram if you have one please. I also noticed that the data pin in the code is pin 27, but the data pin on the diagram at 15:30 is in pin 23.

@mecharms 10 күн бұрын

Thank you! You are right with the data pin 😉 I didn't notice the mistake. I changed the pin during the process thats the reason. Did you checked the diagram and code on Github? It should work. The helpfull way in case differen connection is to make program which light leds one by one showing the Leds rising adress direction and strip number in the structure - like shown in 11:27 . Then you can apply the formula I shown. What do you mean by ,,post new wiring? "

@@mecharms in the video at 4:30, the diagram does show the order of the sides but does not show what strip should be on the top of the side pieces and what should be on the sides of the bars. The direction of the strips is not shown either and both diagrams have different order of sides (first diagram has data in at the front lower left corner and side 2 is front top centre, diagram 2 shows data in at rear lower left and side 2 is middle lower right. I have enough pixels to make a cube with 12 per strip and another with 14 per strip. I will breadboard another setup and run them side by side so I can change the code one step at a time and have a working cube for reference. Will your formula work the same with 14 pixels per strip ?

@mecharms 10 күн бұрын

@@antbrown5473 yes, these two diagrams show different things and do not actually match. Unfortunately, I do not have a diagram showing which side the individual stripes on the sides are on. To do it correctly, trial and error is often necessary. During tests on the prototype cube, I matched the strips one by one, finding the corresponding LED strings, and then used the pattern. In the case of 14 LEDs, the approach is the same and the pattern should work.

@antbrown5473 10 күн бұрын

@@mecharms Thanks for the quick answers. My plan now is to string 24 strips of 12 together to run your code, and another set of strips with 14 to run modified code. I will stick the 12 strips to straws so I can move them around. I will then choose 1 animation from your code and comment out all others. I can then run the sections in the array 1 by 1 on the strips with 14 until they both match. I will post a vid if I get it done. Have you thought of putting your cube on WLED ?

@mecharms 10 күн бұрын

@antbrown5473 Thats good plan 😉 Good luck! I will gladly see your result. With WLED the problem I find was the limit in support up to 10 segments insted of 12 I used. Also i found more useful examples in FastLED
