3D LED RGB Cube 16x16x16 (b)

[@SagarDahalChaosifier]

OMFG! My head hurts thinking about the programming and soldering involved. Simply amazing.

[@vidmantasm7689]

Most valuable thing is, he is sharing everything for free, so deep about everything! I think it takes more time for the videos than to make first CUBE. He is above price for his time!! (Sorry for my English, it is not my first language)

[@DarkMegamanAxxess]

Very nice, I have to say, I've never seen anything like that before in all my life. And the fact that its the size of a small VHS cabinet is also cool. Great job.

[@jorgeperezdelt]

Fantastic !!! You did a terrific programming, my respects ..

[@DjMarsMellow]

The funky music makes it complete! Wel done!

[@Espiration]

Respect man, RGB LED's, and there are 4096 of them, happy time soldering lol

[@2n918]

Very very cool. Let's see a flat screen tv do this! Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

[@PS3ROCK2509]

the numbers in the related section JUST KEEP GROWING!!

[@AlanTubeMan]

Magnificent! I built a very much smaller one a few years ago which was nice, but nothing like a great as this! However, the thing that always occurs to me about these things is that when you use LEDs on this scale you will get individual LED failures. Have you managed to solve the problem of how you detect and swap out failed devices?

[@doml8520]

Coding this monstrosity would be a nightmare.

[@bgladx64]

Most of the time each layer is a common cathode plane, so all LEDs on the same level share the same ground, switched by a transistor. Then each column of LEDs have their anodes connected (in this case 3 anodes, one each for R, G, and B). This allows you to select any individual LED by turning on it's column and turning on the transistor to connect that layer's ground.

[@marcus_w0]

Very cool! Nice Soundtrack.

[@LOKI123ification]

the god of shift registers, awesome work.... i am a bit envy ^^

[@cryredd]

I'd like to see a 3d cityscape on one of these...LIke the typical skyline on one face and the actual depth of the buildings and stuff...

[@LifeGeneralist]

Excellent work. I recall the tesseract

[@ChromeXk]

not as much as you'd think, a team of us built an 8x8x8 cube an university using low power LED parts, we got the current down to about 1 amp for 2mA leds. But thats only when all the LED's are being used, which we only done when testing all the connections. Realistic use was a few hundred mA

[@QHRebel76]

The time investment man, I gotta give it up you guys are awesome.

[@finalrepentance]

Nice. Gotta love me some Krafty Kuts, cube is cool too!

[@andreweliason713]

LED's may be available inexpensively, but arrange the 4,096 LED's and solder the 16 ½ thousand connections... And that's just the matrix itself. Personally, I am VERY impressed.

[@George130826]

I stand up and clap... you are real genius congratulations :)

[@Roxor128]

The end goes nicely with the music from the landscape at the end of Future Crew's 1992 demo "Unreal". Not surprising, given it's the same sort of look.

[@shimizu67]

Those LED cubes could be an alternative answer to holograms. Imagine a human sized cube with much smaller leds, could recreate a 3D image of someone/something. Amazing isn't it ? And leds are really cheap and energy consumption is very low. So until we get real holograms, someone start building those with a camera integrated for 3D calls. :)

[@PagliacciCanio]

That was awesome, why don't you have it doing the Matrix scrolling green text effect...?

[@IceCold5078]

Holy shit 4096 individually controlled leds. Must've been nighmater to build and program this

[@brinckau]

+Ice Cold 4096 * 3 colors...

[@LysolPionex]

+Ice Cold I would think after you get the general gist of the math patterns behind it, it would be pretty straightforward. Replacing spent LEDs...that's the real pain.

[@quaxk]

I only noticed the furniture after a while, this thing is huge!

[@adrock0801]

Hi, this is very nice. The most effort is surely to build something like this. If you use RGB LEDs, you have at least 4 connections to solder per LED. If you use intelligent LEDs, it's still 3 connections per LED. Then the power draw... as you need RGB for each pixel, let's say 20mAx3x4096 = 245Amps(!) for all LEDs on white, ok, you can do some multiplexing, but you loose brightness... alone the electronic parts + power supply must be about 800 USD... WELL DONE!

[@AlexanderHolsgrove]

Not a noobish question unless you already know the answer. Each of the LEDs actually contain 3 diodes, and hence you have 4 legs for each LED unit. One colour per cathode and a shared anode (can also be one leg per anode and a shared cathode)

[@Bowtie41]

SO much better than an 8x8x8!

[@pgprodj]

this device is amazing! I want two of them please!

[@Steampunk360]

Are the led caps clear? If so, would it maybe benefit the clarity to have them sanded/frosted so the lights would have less of a washed glare?

[@antonnym214]

Incredible work. Blows me away. Also good music. What kind of wattage does it draw?

[@ImaginationToForm]

Pretty. Thats alot of soldering. I had trouble just making a 3x3. But I guess you must had made some rigging to hold those leds easier.

[@jonathonhebert7042]

Dammmm, this would be like making EIGHT 8x8x8 cubes. Madness. What i really want to see someone do is use really tiny LEDs with really tiny wires, so that they don't disrupt the view so much. I guess then you'd have to concerned with it collapsing though hehe

[@chino852456]

pretty cool but i have a question... what software does it works with that?

[@AbinNixonIsTheBestInTheWorld]

Nice How much did all the supplies cost and how long did it take

[@Leontestedevorant]

Nice job guy bravo and respect !

[@djbat3]

Are the plans/videos for building this still available? The website is dead. The FB page is dead.

[@dentonfender8872]

Much better than the disco mirrored balls of the 70's.

[@pacofranco5539]

It's amazing! What should I use to build and program one?

[@jags8909]

Beautiful... wonder how long the code is!

[@ClippedPipe]

I am in love with this vid, but also the music??? Who is this? THanks!

[@141Jamison]

would love to have a coffee table or even a bar with that concept XD

[@Rom-Zecs]

ахренительно, эту технологию надо развивать

[@3dledcube-lawrence460]

Amazing😎😎, good job

[@spunts144]

I can't handle the music. Das Cube is Cool

[@275drago]

Awesome and hardworking job nice!

[@slaytanic_sal]

Killer, great project! About how much money does a project like this cost?

[@TheLawlDawg]

Although if enough LEDs were crammed into it it could serve the practical functionality of a 3D hologram capable of being viewed from any angle.

[@teltri]

Cool, I´ve always wanted this.

[@pushpull76]

From the website "We are very excited to be the pioneers of of this amazing patented 3D LED technology.".....jsut for information, how can you patent a technology wich was in use before your patent ?

[@DashMalone]

The song is amazing. the cube is absolutely fantastic. These colors look better to the human eye as well. Its very difficult to capture the full spectrum te RGB LEDS cast on camera.

[@xXTECHxKNIGHTXx]

awesome build!!!!

[@MrHastingsimbolon]

very cool stuff.. you are smart bro..!

[@krystalfox007]

You are a genius sir. I'm on it!

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Freaking awesome. Care to share the plans to make one?

[@rauledezma]

where can I get one of theese??? I´ve once dreamed of 3d data plos, looks very interesting!!!!

[@Klokopf52]

WoW How much did you payed for your LEDs? Where did you bought them?

[@marckerger]

a true 3D screen :) must be "fun" to program.. or build..

Which interface you use to control the LEDs and what program to generate the graphs?

[@thiagoescobar7412]

Nice music!! Who is it?

[@TheBoczk26]

need the code! the fireworks, falling drops and etc...are awesome!

[@Gentlecoo]

Hey man this video is great and I love the music. :) Whats the name of the song?

[@ptanugrahsamudrasejahtera1647]

Do you make it yourself? how much will this LED be? I am interested

[@annamotiwale1998]

How to make this project

[@kevinkoniewicz]

Really, how much would u sell that to me for? Its quite a feat man. Well frickin done

[@become1wdeath]

what type of leds are you using and were did you get them from ?

[@SylvainPro2222]

Hi, do you sell this kind of cube in some store, or there all made personnalized ?

[@Yossppm]

how did you design the animation? did you enter the color for each led at a time (that will take an eternity)? or did you use some sort of program to ease the process?

[@RealFurryNutzz]

+Yusuf Alnasser Most of the animations are math or random based. They can be calculated by the mcu.

[@Yossppm]

Aha. I thought some sort of design software. Anyhow, thanks.

[@ArgumentumAdHominem]

Sorry for my noobness, but where does the color come from? Are there 3 RGB diodes per point, or the color of each single diode can be changed? Also, how are they connected? Is there an individual wire per diode, or sth smarter than that?

[@jamesthompson7633]

Shame to have such a nice cube and then the Plexiglas ruins it with reflections.

[@ICStation2013]

amazing project!!!

[@NinjaAdorable]

My classmate is doing a 4X4 version of this stuff for his Final year Engineering project !! :P If u make this on ur own it wont cost nearly as much !!

[@ElectricalPro]

Cool

[@Seriouskai]

It is dark, it's just the leds are really bright :) a total of 4096 light sources.

[@hanzithaking]

holy shit 4096 leds! :O

[@sokratiskappis8520]

Well done!!

nice party table!

[@blipblop92]

Common RGB LEDs draw about 20mA each and since this cube only turns on one layer at any instance (multiplexing phenomenon). One layer contains 256 LEDs. At operating voltage of 3V, the LEDs consumes 256 * 0.02A * 3V = 15.36W. Not too bad I guess.

[@TrickTizzle]

where did you buy all the led from ??

[@HORUS_100]

Muy bueno disculpa que circuito utilizaste y como lo programaste

[@neok1996]

mooie cube en goed nummer

[@szymonjedrasiewicz4915]

WTF it,s AMAIZING !!!

[@mn3nesh]

okay that looks like a start of a real 3D TV

[@Heycool08]

depends on the wattage of the LED, some of them can get super hot!

[@Eight420]

Thats Sick. Hard work paid off :)

[@fracture333]

what did you take more time, building the cube, or programming the leds to do all this shit? respect

[@JtagSheep]

Well i can help you out best as i can as for silicone id say try things like acylic cement if you bond the acrylic cube with the acrylic cerment it should be waterproof just the part of waterproof the output input wires. As for the lighting programs you actualy run the leds of a chip that you program such as a picaxe chip and the programs you write tell what output to have voltage etc lighting up the corect led etc etc you could start of by making a very simple 3x3x3 led cube using a ic555 :)

[@onandjvjxiou]

on the site you say this is patented. can you provide the number of the patent please? I'm curious to see how you described this. Thanks!

[@warnakulasuriyfernando]

Nice video

[@LaVolpe444]

The Tessaract! Must make myself one. :)

[@varmiva]

hi where I can buy the same product or plans to build one like it thanks

[@LoBoCoPonYouT]

Why Arent these in all the stores ?

[@FreeYourSpirit4Ever]

wauW good job very cool gadget!!

[@cedricbisson6926]

hi, amazing, I'd love to create one of my own, could you please tell me what I need?

[@JJose-22]

im not really sure abt this , but u can also consider sense (by touching) as a 4th dimension rt? if the 3th dimension is related to time then , what we see in 3d is already related to time and that means its 4D o.O wait what? D: im confused now lol

[@andrewcordova6288]

How do I get in contact with the builder of this cube? I'm interested in getting one built for our night club.

[@OramiIT]

It isn't too horribly hard to build one. I suspect they are using the 3 color LEDs which are available on ebay for 5 bucks for 50. The programming of the designs would probably be a little harder to accomplish though. Probably about $415 in LEDs, the plexiglass is probably along the same lines as what you can get from home depot or lowes. You will likely run into cost issues with the controllers for this set up though since I am sure they are using something more than an arduino. www.ebay.com/itm/50-pcs-5mm-Tri-Color-4-PIN-Common-Anode-RED-BLUE-RGB-LED-Light-Emitting-Diode-/261312197418?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd76bb32a

[@paulpothier123]

Ritgar001 havr u watched a vid on how to make one lol

[@OramiIT]

potch paul Yes, I have. Not only that I have made my own. It isn't that hard if you know how to solder. A drill and a piece of wood is helpful to make a jig with. Multiplexing is not that hard it is taught in the first year of electrical engineering so it is easily grasped by people.

[@fernandoluis53]

whered u buy those LEDS?

[@edsonsilva7912]

Do you use arduino? Do you sell just the pci with schematic diagram?

[@markbogdan2]

Lol... that's the first thing that came into my mind when i saw these cubes :)

[@vijayXroshan]

Stack a few of these next to each other and on top of each other and u got urself a giant 3D Screen :P
