What is this... made by apple? This is way over priced lmao and the funny part is that someone just bought it. That person must be rich and doesn't know what to do with $300.

Never said or mentioned about how you should spend your money or how you should use this product. I've only stated how I view this specific product.

My friend and I were looking at this drop and thought to ourselves, we could build an LED cube for much cheaper than this. However, pricing it out the LEDs alone would cost something along the order of $200! Not to mention custom PCBs, sensors, etc. At $256.99, this seems like a great price to me.

Cost and ease of construction of acrylic cube is even less of a factor than with the LEDs. There are many pre-made acrylic housings and cases available as well.
The board would be great to break out into a larger display inside of an unused fireplace or behind a bar. I wish this weren't geared toward hipster doofusses. Why not just post the schematics for older cheap doofusses like me?

Bobby_GanoushThey do. The project is entirely open source. Hardware schematics and software are available to the public on GitHub. The problem is that the pcb was built for an older processor and it hasn't worked right since they switched to particle photon

I just can't justify $300 for a lightshow, even though it is a very cool concept. I'll probably just end up taping glowsticks to my dog, like usual...

NonKonnektionCheck the listings you're actually getting.
The majority of $30 kits are only White or a single color. The only $30 RGB one I saw, "Does not include RGB LEDs, or and PCBs or parts for bridge boards or music module"
Heck, 512 RGB LEDs (to make the 8x8x8 cube) right from China is more than $30.
They also require you to solder the actual cube together, which, as a person who made a 4x4x4 RGB cube, it will make you want to kill yourself.
This kit is basically plug and play.

mrunknownI hear you, and it's a good point you make, I have definitely seen them with rgb and music modules, but 10x the price is too much.

I mean cool product put definitely not gonna shell out nearly $300 on this. I'd rather spend the $120-150 on materials to make it myself and at least have a project out of it.

Found this guide on instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/RGB-8x8x8-LED-Cube-1/?ALLSTEPS)
He just bought a PCB from seeed which made it really simple to keep track of everything

Haxtriickzhahha, on my. yeah. I love how they look, but keeping the actual LED array square, oh my. My cube looks horrible, it was my first real Arduino project.

This is a very neat design for a 3D RGB cube - easy to assemble and very bright, but be advised - it has a limited viewing angle ( < 180 deg). The RGB LEDs (AKA "neo-pixels") only face one direction and can't be seen from the back or sides of the cube. It would look pretty good on a shelf, but in my opinion, not so good as a desk ornament.
Here's a great video showing assembly and usage:
I love 3D LED cubes and this one is a great way to get started with them. I just wanted ya'll to know the viewing limitations of this one before you spent $300...

One of my more pointless purchases but it's still going to be mine! Yes of course you can buy all the bits cheaper etc, but I honestly couldn't be less bothered. You know what else you could build yourself for less? Sodding anything. Anything!!That's nothing to boast about knowing! Christ Almighty

invisiblekidExcept these gadgets come with ready-made kits which can be easily assembled in an afternoon. You are delusional.
