Update 2: It has come to our knowledge that James Clar is the initial creator of the 3D LED Cube. He is a lighting designer that has done many things with technology lighting and his works can be seen at: www.JamesClar.com You can view his patent for the 3D Cube with the wiring schematic at the USPTO patent # 7190328
