Ben, you're just a genius! Moreover, there are no more people like you, with such special talents!
Unbelievably cool project and video. I could watch it a hundred times. I am completely blown away by your skills and ability to pull this off.
Amazing work and dedication to the craft! Not a single corner was cut as far as I'm aware. I'm new to the hobby of electronics with a big desire to make some really cool LED projects using many mediums like you did here. Inspiring, definitely saving this video
The level of detail that went into it. This should have way more views..
Thank you
Ben, wish I had half your talent. Your cube is a work of art. Very unique and original. Your attention to detail is unrivaled. Keep on making projects like this that make you happy!
Thank you!
❤ Love your eye for details. Looks amazing!
Hey you found it! I was hoping you would. Thank you! I took a lot of inspiration from you.
🫡 Underrated video
🫡
This should have over a million views!!!
Thank you :) not many can sit through the whole thing
Wow amazing.
The closest thing to what a 4th dimensional cube looks like
That thing looks insane ! I really want to make one one day, underrated video for sure !
Thank you!
Pure Beauty ❤
Thanks!
🔥 🙌 another level

Excellent! Such an impressive video in so many ways. Where to begin? I love all the artistic choices, narritive flow, subtle flourishes with transitions or framing the shots that don't stick out, but showcase your obvious videography skill. The project itself is jaw dropping, and executed so flawlessly that .. well, that's my only problem with the whole thing. Not even really a problem, more like some cognitive dissonence I experienced while watching.
You design the cube, export some gcode, start loading stock into the cnc, cut all 12 pieces, one after the other, and when you assemble everything together it's PERFECT. Every corner fits. There are no gaps or misalignments. You make 0 mistakes throughout the entire build.
The video appears to tell the story of a guy who wanders into a workshop, and kind of almost accidentally makes an infinity cube. He bumps into a table and a cup knocks over, spilling a handful of parts into his hand which just happen to be the exact fasteners he needed. He attaches them and moves on, never acknowledging the extroardinary fact of their appearance. Every move he makes is the right one. Every decision is correct. He would not be able to produce anything but the finest craftsmanship even if he _tried_ to screw it up.
Now, I completely understand that you make choices when you write, direct and edit a video like this. You can't show every single second. And to tell a story that showcases the best parts and cuts the rest is perfectly fine. It's only when you do that, but also actively code the whole thing to appear to be a linear factual account that it becomes somewhat reality-warping.
But what do I know, maybe you sailed thru the experience in exactly this way, making you the Chauncy Gardener of the maker community. If so: congratulations!
..and, nice cube.
A very keen analysis and an accurate one at that. You are correct, things defiantly didn’t go as smoothly as the video portrayed it. The problems started with the wiring. I never planned on making the chassis my ground (even though now it seems like an obvious choice). Kinda freaked out when I realized there was no way to fit all of the wires. The pads pressing up against the aluminum didn’t work. The connection was too unstable. The next solution was to use conductive epoxy to insure good contact. However the high amperage caused those connections to also fail AFTER I had painted the strips and glued the glass in place. The final solution was one I desperately tried to avoid. Drill screw holes underneath the strips, anchor a wire to the chassis using 0-80 flat head screws, solder that wire to the pad, and make it all small enough to hide under the strips. Then repaint the delicate black paint, re scrape the ALL LED faces AGAIN, and finally put the glass back. Oh and then just for fun, I had some individual LEDs fail. So throw in some SMD unsoldering and resoldering in the mix…. “PAIN” is the word I would use. Everything els in the video was actually accurate. CNC is king for precise manufacturing.
There was a lot of meticulous planning and I wanted to show the results with everyone. Thank you for your kind worlds and I’m glade you enjoyed the video!
Amazing build!
Thank you!
which glass is this please tell

Awesome project! Happen to have any links where you can buy this glass you used?
Yeah, I bought it here: www.twowaymirrors.com/glass/
It’s manufacturer by Pilkington. The glass is called “Pilkington Mirropane Chrome”.
It comes in 6mm (= .0.236” even though it's advertised as .1/4” in the US). twowaymirrors don’t disclose who makes it though. I figured it out hehe :p . If you’re in Europe than you’re lucky because you can buy it in 4mm. You can’t buy it direct from the manufacturer so poke around google for an online reseller. Also my local glass dealer sells it so maybe try looking in your area as well.
Its non reflective from one side. Amazing stuff for this effect. I wouldn’t use anything else. (Wish I had 4mm)
Program is necessary?
ÇA ME FAIT PENSER AU FILM " CUBE "
First of all let me say how fantastic your cube is and thank you for sharing. I have recently got the bug for all things LED and WLED and I have just ordered an 8x8x32 LED tower for my 60th Birthday next month. I don't know if you have seen this video on YT, th-cam.com/video/YRvfHhS31sw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W79c6zP3hR4ymJG_ but it is well worth a watch. I saw this only last week and I thought it was the best thing ever. Your creation is easily on a par and and I certainly aspire to build one myself, just not to the same high spec. Thanks again for sharing and I look forward to your next creation.
Hey thank you! Pretty cool dodecahedron. Id like to make a rhombic dodecahedron sometime down the road. Happy Birthday!!
Ben, wish I had half your talent. Your cube is a work of art. Very unique and original. Your attention to detail is unrivaled. Keep on making projects like this that make you happy!
