Step 2: LET's Make the Cube

make a rough layout in cardboard or wood

drill 5 mm holes using 5 mm drill bit(here i am showing 5*5*5 JIG)

Prepare the LED's

before soldering test all led's with multimeter

use pliers and make a 90° bend in cathode (- ve)

and again bend 90° (see the pictures)

keep repeating this until all of your 64 LED's are prepared

insert 16 led's in jig and solder all anodes together

each layer consists 16 led's with a common anode(+)

make 4 layers like this

now solder cathodes together(first coloumns cathode solder to the first coloumn cathode of second layer )

finally we get 4 anode layers and 16 cathode coloumns

Step 3: Circuit Diagram
