Thanks for the feedback. We just updated the guide for the new temple so that was a quick response.Finished mine this afternoon, only 4 dud LEDs.
Works great. The new template makes it a lot easier.
I think possibly the best method is to rotate the temple 180 degrees and then move the rows up (away from you) as you said. That way you get the benefits of the existing rows both being out of your way and out of the way of the newly inserted row. But from a guide point of view it would probably get a bit disorientating if we started rotating the template.I moved the LED grid up in the template rather than down so the grid of LEDs moves away from me and doesn't get in the way.
I also fitted a wire across the right hand side top of the cube to hold the grids evenly spaced. The spacing on the grids is 23mm for it to be square.
Another good tip . Out of interest was there enough spare wire in the kit to do this or did you have to use some of your own?
