Well, I was one of the first people in Darwin to see the new Transformers movie, 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen', and let me tell you, it is by far one of the greatest movies I have ever seen in my life. And, basically, through a couple of favors, I was able to get a seat. To say thanks to the great manager at the local cinemas I am good friends with, I have built this cube. Note: I have done a lot of things for this person, I may put a few up as slideshows soon. Anyway, I got the idea from This Instructable, but didn't want to plagiarize, so I changed a few things. First of all, I used two LED's, which also fade. Also, I made my cube larger, around 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. Finally, I only used sheet metal as a base, and a soda can as the metal 'Armour', if you wish. Finally, before we begin, one last note; I didn't realise how awesome this would turn out, so I took very few pictures. I will definitely be making another. So, get your tools out and lets begin!!!
step 1Tools And Materials
Basically, You will need a few simple things. Materials: - Plexiglass - 2 x Colour-Changing LED's ( I got mine [http:www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZD0247&keywords…
step 2Build The box.
Unfortunately, this is the step where I took the least photos. Like I said, I'm building another soon, so I will get lots of photos there. My cube is 10cm x 10xm, but I c…
step 3Armour plates!
WARNING!!! THE METAL TIN IS EXTREMELY SHARP!!! BE CAREFUL!!! Anyway, go wild with the tin snips here. Let out your creativity. Cut out some really odd shapes. The less yo…
step 4Circuitry
The circuit for my cube was very simple. I used a 3v 2AA battery holder, a switch and 2 RGB LED's in parallel. I originally had a dropping resistor, but I found that the …
step 5The Bottom plate and hinge.
Unlike the original cube instructable I saw, I wanted easier access to the switch and batteries. So, after much thinking, I decided on a hinged bottom plate. The aluminium…
step 6Glue it down
Glue the circuit to the inside of the metal plate, switch it on, and admire! Looks uber-cool, and guaranteed to impress people.
step 7Finishing up
It you liked it, don't forget to rate and comment on it! Who knows, maybe it was good enough to get featured! (Please?) Video coming soon, when I can get my video camera …
