This week, I finished up most of the part of the projects. First thing I did was soldering the LED and making them into the shape that I want them to be. Because I bought LED separately without any prebuilt wires, therefore I can make wire them to shape that I like depend on how much space I have for the inner and outer glass layer. Below are pictures I took after I finish soldering like 40 LED. It took a while at the beginning, like 2 hours for the first 8 LED but then I think I become professional at soldering these types of solder so the rest of LEDs did not take too much time. <\/span><\/p>\n

At first I decided to solder 8 LED at a time to form a square side, however, when I put them into the cube, the more wire it has the less space I have, therefore I decided to solder them together to make a bigger string of LED.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next Step is I cut the one-way mirror film and add them to the acrylic structure I made in previous week, instead of just use tape, I learn that adding soap into both surface help glue them together. <\/span><\/p>\n

Then I decided to play around with the color display, I add a few light sequence to display the LED and put them into the cube. <\/span><\/p>\n

A few cool thing that I realize with the infinite mirror is that if I have 2 LED, and instead of making the inner mirror parallel with the outer one, if I put it in an angle, then it would produce some unexpected curve performed by the 2 LEDs instead of just straight lines. <\/span><\/p>\n
