    Starting the LED work! TLDR: It did not go well... Gluing down the led strips All the soldering equipment ANNNNND heres all the lights in the trash. I mixed up the pins on my molex connector since the female side needs to be backward to get 5v. I sent 12v into the leds which fried...

    Boxes in position :D The rear bracket that will support the components. The cubes on the front are mainly for lighting, not structure support. I messed up on the design and decided I needed these cubes out. I used my old junk soldering iron to melt out the cubes and used wire cutters and...

    They are sponsors for this mod but it's for me. I'll take it to a few conventions and whatnot. This one will be a little tricky to fit in my vehicle though as it's almost 4 feet tall when it's together.

    I started the printing and got a good bit done! This section alone takes about 2 days. Multiply this by 8 sections and you can see it takes awhile to do this project: These squiggly lines are called supports in the 3d Printing world. It helps when you are printing hollow things, in this...

    [Build Log] -Aurora Cubes- A RGB 3D Printed Case by 8-Bit Builder

    The only problem is the cost. Materials alone is about 300-400. I've gotten a few offers but once I break down the cost people back off. Its time intensive also with all the wiring so I charge for my time obviously. I've been meaning to contact a few pc case companies though but its all new to...

    Thanks! Yeah, she enjoys the patterns. Shes gotten used to my other mod (Metroid) and its pulsing lights so I'm not sure how long this one will keep her attention once its done.

    I got caught up with Halloween costumes and waiting on a few pc components for the build. This is going to be a big post to catch up! After doing some testing, I ran into an issue where the light wasn't being diffused as great as I wanted. I ended up sanding the case to rough up the texture to...
