Got 2 layers joined, and yes K.H. it seems to be very stable. Having a really good time with this.
I decided to do a little math. Each layer contains 64 LEDs and 2 'braces' for a total of 80 solder joints. There are 8 layers for a total of 640 solder joints. Each layer must be soldered to the one below (or above depending on your viewpoint) for a total of 64 solder joints per layer for a total of 512 solder joints (I'm including the solder to the wire that goes to the circuit board). For a grand total of 1152 solder joints.
That's not counting the soldering that I will have to do for the circuit board :)
And yes, I'm testing the layers as they get attached, I make sure the whole column light up... so far so good.
Where are the rest of my parts???!!!
Now I have to go to bed because I have to work tomorrow... wish I could stay here and solder the rest of the layers.
