Enclosure for 8*8*8 RGB LED Cube

I designed this wooden enclosure for an led cube which is of 8*8*8 RGB . So I am making an enclosure for the cube the size depends on size of cube.

• Use pen and paper to plot the design of your need.
• Use measuring tools like Tri-square, Ruler and also pen to trace design
• A carpenter's chisel and a small block plane
• Use sanding paper from a coarse to a fine grit
• Wood glue and some clamps

• Measure the dimensions of your LED cube, including its width, height, and depth.
• Decide on the size and style of the wooden box.
• Consider whether you want it to fully encase the cube or have open sides for better visibility. I'am going to design a fully enclosed type.
• Plan for any additional features you want, such as compartments or a hinged lid.
• Plan the supports for the PCB

• Create a new design in Fusion 360.
• Start by drawing a sketch of the base of the wooden box based on the measurements.
• Extrude the sketch to the desired height. To create the pieces to be joined
• Design all sides and assemble in Fusion 360.
• Add joints, grooves, or slots for the LED cube and any other components you plan to include.
• If you want a lid, design it separately and ensure it fits securely on the box.

• I will provide a simple video link which demonstrates the assembling of joints. Which I found helpful to me at the time of designing and assembling.

1. Start by creating a new design in Fusion 360.
2. Open the components you've previously designed in other files.
3. Save the new assembly file in your desired location.
4. Insert the components into the current design.
5. Adjust the position of each component as needed.
6. Use the align tool to precisely align components by selecting specific points on each part.
7. Ensure the components are correctly oriented.
8. Complete the assembly, and you can proceed to create an assembly drawing in a subsequent video.

• Once your design is complete, export it as a DXF or SVG file, which can be used for laser cutting or CNC machining.
• Ensure that your design files are in the correct format and include all necessary details.

• Choose the type of wood you want to use for your box. Plywood, MDF, and hardwoods like oak or walnut are popular choices. I have used teak wood from waste
• Cut the wood sheets to the required sizes using a table saw or circular saw.
• Sand the edges and surfaces of the wood pieces to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections.

• Use your Fusion 360 design files to guide the laser cutter or CNC machine to cut and shape the wooden pieces.
• Pay close attention to accuracy, as precision is crucial to ensure the parts fit together correctly

• Sand the entire wooden box to smooth out any rough surfaces and edges.
• Apply a finish to the wood, such as stain, paint, or varnish, to protect and enhance its appearance.
• Allow the finish to dry completely before moving on to the next steps.

• Assemble the wooden box according to your design, using wood glue and screws for reinforcement.
• Carefully align the joints and edges to achieve a tight fit.
• If your design includes a lid, attach it using hinges or another appropriate mechanism.
