Nice product, timely received

For jolliCube – 8x8x8 LED Cube (SPI) DIY Kit

Nice product, works very well, and received on time. It was fun playing with it.
Communication was not actually needed, the documentation provided is well structured.

Fast shipping and easy assembly

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

It came fast! I was shocked how fast it shipped. Assembly was easy. I made my frame from Hickory and put Purple Heart splines. Thanks seller it works perfectly and looks amazing. Will definitely order more. You do have to know how to solder and follow instructions.

Such a great product

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

This is the second kit I have bought, instruction videos on youtube are great and detailed. Frame kit is high quality and fits perfectly.
Everyone that sees it is amazed.

Excellent Kit

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

Well documented and well designed. Not too difficult a build. I will have to do some experiments to see if I can dampen the noise a bit more. Foam tape supporting the electromagnet assy helped a bit, but I'd still like it quieter. Performance is good, though I might play with the scaling in SW a bit to get more control over the "slowest" range of the control.

Great kit!

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

I put the kit together as a gift and the results were very impressive. I opted for the assembled option, so I only needed to glue the acrylic parts together, stick the LEDs on the picture frame, and attach things together. The LED strip I used ended up having wires already attached to both ends, so I didn't even need to solder anything!

The IKEA frames are not available where I live, so I chose the 8x10 Ribba frame option and bought this frame: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FYQR19J/
The opening in the mat was a bit smaller than the acrylic opening, but it worked out well. The frame is deep enough for two strips of LEDs.

Gluing the acrylic parts was probably the most time consuming step. I tried superglue at first, with poor results, then found out superglue is not recommended for acrylic. I ended up using a plastic glue with primer from the local hardware store, but the real acrylic solvent method shown in the video is probably much better.

It's been a lot of fun seeing how different plants, flowers, and feathers look with the slomo effect. Overall I'm very impressed by the kit, it is a great value for the price.

Awesome, quality product backed by great customer service

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

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.

Andreas | Jan. 8, 2020

Highly recommended!

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

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.

Love it! Top Notch & Patient Service

For jolliCube – 8x8x8 LED Cube (SPI) DIY Kit

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:

Outstanding Cube Kit in all aspects

For jolliCube – 8x8x8 LED Cube (SPI) DIY Kit

This 8x8x8 cube kit is great. Everything about it is excellent. All the parts are packed nicely, individual bags as needed, and nice quality. The control pcb boards are very well done, laid out nicely, high quality, and really simplifies interfacing to all those individual leds. I also got the 8x8 wood jig, which was high quality, well done, and really helped a lot. I also added the nano and the leds, so basically the kit was complete with everything. The leds were good quality, with a nice supply of extras leds to be sure there would be enough in case bad ones were found. All the leds I received worked and were bright, but it was nice not to worry about that since they included the extras.
The instructions are very nice, though it seems daunting when you first start. It is very nice to have both the written instructions to get the basic idea and some details, and then with the videos showing exactly what and how to put it together. Eventually it all becomes understandable and you get a feel for what you are doing, and the result is fantastic. The software for testing and demonstration is very nice, works well, and shows off the cube immediately. The software is also great for showing examples from basic to fancy animations and is great for learning how to program your own animations. It's a lot of soldering and a lot of tiny detail work bending led leads and building each matrix, but the result is amazing. It was my first, so I was slow, checking leds at every step worried I would burn one or break it bending, etc., but never had any problems and the final result was worth the time.
Great communication with JolliFactory. I had problems with the post office on my end and they were very quick to respond to questions and helped resolve the problem, so 5 stars for service.

Franklin | Sept. 5, 2019

Great product and even better service

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

The kit was very complete, and the assembly service assured everything arrived fully functional. I purchased my kit as a gift and was short on time, and jolliFactory was super responsive and helpful in making sure I received everything on time. Everything came together well and worked perfectly!

Andrés | July 24, 2019

Excelent product and it arrived before that I though... Fast

For 60mmx60mm Bicolor LED Matrix Driver Module DIY Kit

I like this product and in want to know if you sell only the PCB for this proyect.

I would buy around 10 or more PCB.

Fantastic - great kit and superb documentation

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

Very impressed with everything about this experience. Quick international shipping, meticulously packed and marked items, and multiple forms of instructions (written, photographs, video). A lot of time and care was taken with this kit. Thank you!

Gorkem | Feb. 11, 2019

Great Kit

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

Shipkemt was fast, the instructions were clear and the kit was easy to assemble. I used a 3d printed frame instead of the IKEA frame, It's mesmerizing to watch!

Laszlo | Dec. 3, 2018

Good product, communication. Fast delivery.

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

Absolutely worth the price. Fun and mesmerizing project!
I only able to buy a larger IKEA frame (I think they don't sell that size anymore), but I managed to 3D print the back mount based on the instructables description.

Killian | Oct. 10, 2018

Excellent experience from start to finish

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

I bought the sLOMO kit from JF recently, to make as a gift for my partner. I really do think it was very good value. Communication was prompt when I had an (insubstantial) concern about shipping. Shipping from Singapore was in fact reasonably priced and fairly quick- about 10 days.
The thing which struck me must about the kit is how meticulously, neatly, thoughtfully and securely it was packaged. Everything was in separate sealed bags, sized to suit. Everything was labelled. And it was laid out very sensibly so it was easy to tell at a glance that I had everything I needed. Similarly the instructions- an online instructible- shows the same level of care and attention to detail, including videos. This is really appreciated especially when I'm fairly inexperienced in electronics.
The supplied electronics and other pieces were of high quality and the board they designed is super. Everything's gone together without a hitch. I have already recommended JF to others and will be sure to get something from them again.

Perfect. Buy it, you won't regret!

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

Totally awesome! The strobe light makes you to believe that you see twice! The humming sound coming from the resonating U-shape spring steel is nothing...

Excellent DIY Kit

For jolliCube – 8x8x8 LED Cube (SPI) DIY Kit

Thanks for this DIY Kit. It was fun assembling the led cube. It looks great with a uniform jig.
Thank you also for the extra led. All led seems to work properly. Neat project.

Wesley | Nov. 6, 2017

Great DIY Kit.

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

I love this project and can't wait to build it! The kit came complete - with all small objects in sealed bags. If you can find the correct IKEA Ribba frame, you will not be disappointed.

Lincoln | Oct. 25, 2017

Great

For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit

Missing a few pieces, Nick responded right away and shipped the missing items.
Everything else seems to be in good shape and everything fits on the board nicely.

Working as expected ... Best DIY for Beginners

For jolliBot - Arduino based Line Follower DIY Kit

Best DIY have ever came across.

What I liked the most....
1. Communication was the best. All my queries and Request answered in a Day.. Amazing keepit up.
2. Easy documentation . With detail Video and Documentation - Supported with Source code.
3. Shipping was fast with safe package (but compact - that was Good!).
4. Neatly labeled / marked the components. (one of the LED was not working - but no worries had spare with me)
5. Working straight after keenly following the Video tutorial. - This was the amazing part!!!

Some of the Area to improve...
1. One of the LED from the components was not working. Since it was LED, I was able to manage with a spare LED that I had with me.
I hope you take some extra care in sending the components after some basic testing.

2. There are some grey areas though (e.g., soldering Motor Wires based on Polarity), I needed to Zoom the pictures to identify how it was
soldered. The document or marking in the components could have been more detailed for Novice / Beginners.

Fun to build, great instructions

For jolliCube – 8x8x8 LED Cube (SPI) DIY Kit

I had no trouble following the instructions, the videos really helped understand exactly what to do.

The only thing I had to put some thought into was making Jig#4. I have no drill stand, so I opted to carefully mark out an 8x8 grid with a very sharp pencil, steel ruler and set square, this worked out well with good accuracy achieved. I then drilled the holes with a battery drill, first with a small pilot drill, then with the 3mm drill. I found it hard to drill holes absolutely vertically, resulting in the leds not quite being vertical, but when viewing the cube running, this is not noticeable.

I also successfully ported the code to run on a Particle Spark Core, so I can wirelessly control the cube.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review.

Glad you managed to successfully complete the LED Cube and even ported the code to run on a Particle Spark Core. We may offer jig#4 as an option for purchase in future for those who may not have the means to build one themselves or do not want to take the trouble to build it.

Awesome Customer Service!

For 60mmx60mm Bicolor LED Matrix Driver Module DIY Kit

Thanks to JolliFactory's wonderful customer service, I finally received my package in Saudi Arabia after two attempts because of the unreliable postal service here. JolliFactory was considerate enough to refund the money of the first package and I really appreciate it. Now, I'm ready to get building for my semester project in an engineering course. Hope it works! Thanks again!

Mehmet | Dec. 20, 2014

Good product that works, competitive price and good service

For 60mmx60mm Bicolor LED Matrix Driver Module DIY Kit

I ordered 7 LED Matrix Driver Modules. I live in the USA. At first, I was skeptical ordering parts from overseas, Singapore. Since I am buying multiple modules, I have to find best price available. The package was arrived quicker than I expected. They also included 14 generic MAX7219 ICs and they were all worked fine for me. Customer service from jolliFactory is excellent. He answered all my questions and I was able to successfully build all of the LED Matrix Scrolling Text Display projects.
