Code Week Sculpture – Your Light, Your Design
The Code Week Sculpture was created as part of Code Week – and it’s different from our usual soldering kits. There is no single build path to follow step by step. Be creative! Four PCBs – battery shape, two hashtags (#), and a mushroom – can be soldered together in many different ways. The result is your own PCB sculpture that lights up exactly where you choose. Individuality instead of paint-by-numbers.
No fixed outcome – your project, your shape
Instead of one predefined figure, you get building blocks for your idea: mushroom cap, battery PCB, and two hashtag PCBs in red and yellow. How you connect them, in what order, and where the LEDs go – that’s up to you. Wall sculpture, desk decor, or playful statement piece: this kit is meant to encourage your creativity while soldering, not just teach copying.
Ten fast-cycling and ten slow-cycling RGB LEDs (5 mm each) create different moods – you decide where each one goes. A push switch turns everything on and off; an SMD fuse protects the circuit. The 2×AA battery holder powers your sculpture (batteries not included).
For the curious and the creative
Ideal for anyone who can already solder a bit or wants to try free-form making: adults, teens, and kids with supervision. Perfect if you like experimenting, combining, and ending up with something truly one-of-a-kind. No microcontroller, no programming – just PCBs, LEDs, and your idea.

The RGB LEDs continuously shift in a mesmerizing pattern – all without any microcontroller or programming! Watch the LED Cube in Action: Conclusion: The LED Cube is an eye-catching yet easy-to-build soldering kit that’s perfect for electronics enthusiasts and creative minds alike. Show off your soldering skills with this fun and functional light sculpture!
A very simple soldering kit with four LEDs. The four LEDs are connected with a few wires to a battery holder. As soon as a battery is inserted, the LEDs light up in all colors of the rainbow. Thanks to the clothespin, you can easily attach the artwork afterwards. No big soldering skills are needed for this kit. It is really ideal even for children and teenagers.The name comes from the unit "Nibble". A nibble is a unit for four bits (half a byte).

The Space Egg is a fascinating soldering kit that uniquely combines technology and design! This glowing Easter egg features a clever switch mechanism: Simply turning the egg activates a magnetic switch (reed contact), which lights up the three RGB LEDs. The rainbow colors illuminate both the egg and the flame effect under the rocket-shaped egg cup. 🚀 Key Features: ✅ Perfect for beginners – easy soldering kit with few components ✅ Unique mechanism – light control by turning the egg ✅ Glowing RGB LEDs – create a magical color effect ✅ Great Easter gift – creative, educational, and decorative ✅ Sustainably made – from recycled PLA 🛠️ Kit Contents: ✔️ 3x RGB LEDs (5 mm) ✔️ 1x LED spacer ✔️ 1x Egg (two parts) ✔️ 1x Rocket egg cup (3D-printed, optional) ✔️ 1x Flame effect (3D-printed, optional) ✔️ 1x Reed switch (magnetic switch) ✔️ 1x CR2032 battery holder ✔️ 1x CR2032 battery (not included) ✔️ 1x 8x2 mm neodymium magnet ✔️ 1x Space Eggs PCB 🔧 Additional Tools Needed: ✂️ Super glue or hot glue for assembly 🛠️ 5 mm drill bit for precise adjustments 🌍 Eco-Friendly & Sustainable The 3D-printed parts of the Space Egg are made from recycled PLA – a plant-based plastic that is compostable under industrial conditions. Experience technology while minimizing plastic waste! 💡 Tip: The Space Egg is not only a fun DIY project but also a great night light or Easter decoration!You can find more information and the 3D printing files in our Wiki. It also includes a detailed assembly guide and useful tips for building your Space Egg! 🔋 Please note: The CR2032 battery is not included and must be purchased separately.

The great rainbow unicorn is something very special. Once soldered, the tail, horn and mane shine almost magically in all the colours of the rainbow. The best thing is: with this soldering kit you can easily make a great pin, pendant or necklace even as a beginner. You only have to solder 6 components on the back. For those who already know a bit about soldering: The LEDs are THT, i.e. through-hole components. They are soldered to the surface on the back. We used this trick to avoid having holes on the front. This way, the unicorn can shine in all its glory and shine without any flaws.For all those who are not yet that far: don't worry! Detailed and well-tested instructions will guide you through this little soldering adventure.A video of the rainbow colours can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JFJ-eYq9oTarget groupThe electronic soldering kit is designed for beginners. Adults and children alike can have fun with the unicorn soldering kit, although of course you should not let children solder alone. Relatively large components are used, which make it easy to learn how to solder. Only 6 components need to be soldered. This is also possible for absolute beginners in a reasonable amount of time. And the shape? Who isn't a unicorn fan, please? :) It's best to order one or two of these soldering kits, because as you can imagine, the unicorn soldering kit is a popular gift for friends, partners or children.The components in the unicorn soldering kitOur kits always contain all the components you need for soldering. Unfortunately, we cannot send you the batteries. However, you can get them from hardware stores and larger supermarkets (more on this below under "Tools and accessories"). The soldering kit includes:The circuit boardThe circuit board is the heart of the unicorn. It forms the outline and the place to solder all the components. The board is made of fiberglass material which is coated with a gold alloy. A white coating of varnish is applied on top of it. Some parts of the board are slightly transparent. This creates the great effects on the tail and horn! RGB LEDsThis is where the magic happens! RGB stands for red-green-blue and describes the different colours of the LED. It looks like one LED, but there are 3 tiny little LEDs that slowly change through an integrated circuit. This gives you all the colours of the rainbow. Look closely, the black dot you find in the LED is the entire circuit! Yes really, so tiny! Just connect 3V and the LED lights up in all colours. There are four RGB LEDs in the Unicorn soldering kit.The SMD battery holderThe battery holder for CR2032 batteries is included in the kit in an SMD version. It is soldered onto the surface like the other components. How to do this is described in the soldering instructions. The battery itself is then simply plugged in. The battery lasts for 4-8 hours of continuous operation. So you should switch off your unicorn to save some power. You can get more in any well-stocked supermarket, in hardware stores and Swedish furniture stores.A switchOf course, a switch is also included! The switch is easy to operate and therefore ideal for children (and adult hands). The switch locks and stays in the position (on or off) you want the switch to be in. A great perceptible "click" provides haptic and acoustic comfort.Needed toolsHow the minimal soldering workplace looks like is described here: The soldering workplace To make the unicorn glow, you need to get one CR2032 battery per unicorn at the hardware store or a big supermarket/shop. Also, a pair of tweezers is very helpful for this kit :) Instructions and helpTo make it easy for you to solder the kit, we have put together detailed instructions with lots of pictures and individual steps for each of our kits. There you will be guided step by step through the assembly and there are many tips and tricks on how to solder correctly. For the majority of our soldering kits there are also interactive circuits with the names of the components and the tracks. All instructions are available in German and English. For environmental reasons we do not print our instructions. In fact, it is better to view them on screen, as you can then zoom into the high-resolution photos to see details. On each kit you will find a QR code or link to the instructions.You can find all the instructions as PDF files at the following link: https://binary-kitchen.github.io/SolderingTutorialJust click on "DE" or "EN" for the relevant kit and you can download a PDF.CaseGot a 3D printer at home?
