I was blown away by the level of quality and I would recommend buying the frame kit along with the electromagnet kit (the parts *can* be bought separately but do yourself a favour and just get the kit) and the back frame mount (this is essential imo).

I loved the kit so much that I bought two more to gift :)

Note that you need a 12v 2a DC power adapter to power it and some glue (preferably acrylic cement) to assemble the back frame mount.

I ordered the set with all parts and was very positively surprised. The delivery was not only very fast, the set was also completely pre-assembled with all the necessary parts.
I just had to get the frame and the LED.
The assembly itself was then very simple and quick.
Everything works straight away without any problems. I am very excited.
Thank you for this easy way to create the wonderful frame and this great effect yourself.

This was my first LED cube and first purchase from jolliFactory. While I'm a programer, I'm not an engineer & still trying to learn electronics. This project helped my understanding and I leveled up several skills. Nick was *extremely* patient. I may have e-mailed him five or six times, sometimes twice a day, and he always replied by the next day, which was so nice as I was able to complete the project over a holiday break. Other vendors might push such inquiries off to a forum, but Nick answered every one - really unexpectedly top tier. Deserves more than 5 stars! He was very kind to explain things in diagrams, examine photos & videos I sent, and helped me sleuth out any goofs I made when completing 1,000+ soldering connections. The animations are up & running, although I still have a few more things to do - straighten out my wire frame, 3D print a base, and put inside an acrylic cube I bought on Amazon - but I've already ordered my second kit, hoping to do the side-by-side sound equalizer. The two build videos linked in the Instructable were very helpful. It helps to have patience and the time not to rush the build. When done, you'll be rewarded with a very cool display. I'll definitely be trying other products from jolliFactory in the future!
Here's a link to my running animations before the final polish:

What you should know before you buy this (assuming you get all the kits).

You will need:
- an Ikea Frame (though now I think an old desk lamp would be soooo much nicer)
- a 1,5mm drill (if there is none for wood, get a metal one and be slow so it doesn't get hot and break)
- an LED strip (just tape 2 single row ones next to each other and connect + and - of both strips anywhere you want. I bought 2m in total an didn't have much to spare. I used this kind: https://i.imgur.com/cDqTKSG.png )
- a 12v power brick with a barrel plug (not share how many amps needed, I went with 1.5A I think)
- glue for acrylic (superglue works, but will look a bit dirty. But the glue won't be very visible anyways. Better: proper acrylic glue)
- a bit of wire (preferably two colors)
- I also had to trim the acrylic, the frame piece was too wide (eye-balled it with a jigsaw and a metal blade, slow and linear setting)

Additional notes on the documentation:
- with the big frame I don't think you have to trim the paper cutout
- you might want to trim the sockets pins flush *before* you solder them. At least on the side where the turn-knobs go. It will get very tight there later.
- be careful with the magnet placement so it fits the slots in the acrylic later (fine tune by bending so it fits, best done before you put the motor in)
- drill the holes for the screw that hold the frame inside off-center (otherwise your screw is not wide enough and will stick out the side of the frame)
- order on the frame is important: drill holes, put cutout, but LEDs (any other order and something might be in the way)

Other notes:
- before screwing it down the magnet assembly it showed a stronger effect
- I definitely want to do some more programming, I bet you can make a few more effects (I want add random jumping instead of just slow-motion)

Feedback to Vendor:
- documentation could be a little bit better (it's mainly 2 videos instead of small steps)
- laser cut didn't quite fit
- definitely there should be a "you will also need" list in the offer, I thought I get all I need and than had to wait for the other stuff I needed to order
- thank you very much for this beautiful kit, I love it

This is a very nice Ledmatrix. I use it as the display in games. You can control this led matrix with I2C too! Which has many advantages compared with driving with Max7219.
