Awesome led cube

You never know when you might need a glowing cube to convince people you are from the future.

Step 1Materials and tools

materials and tools
To make this you will need: 
A LED (preferably high power) 
a 3 volt coin cell battery 
a 100 ohm resistor (anything close to 100 will work) 
a momentary or push button switch. 
thin sheet metal 
plexiglass 

tools: 
hot glue gun 
metal shears 
sharpie 
saw 
soldering iron

Step 2The box

the box
Cut out 6 squares of equal size from the plexiglass with a saw. 
Use the hot glue gun to make them into a box. Leave off the last side for now. 
Drill a hole in one side of the box, make the hole large enough for the button on the switch to be pushed through it.

Step 3Lighting

Solder together the switch, resistor, and the led. 
Duct tape the two wires that remain to the battery. 
Hot glue the assembly to the inside of the cube with the button in the hole.

Step 4Finish the box

Cut out of the sheet metal futuristic designs and glue them onto the cube. 
Make sure that when you glue onto the button you don't stop it from being pressed down, and that it sticks out enough to be pushed down. 

To give you an idea, Duck-Lemon made two templates. (last pictures)
