This is a base/case that I designed for my 4x4x4 PL9823 RGB Cube. The cube itself is mounted on a 10cm x 15cm protoboard and this base is designed around that.

This was created in Tinkercad, so if you need to make changes you can grab a copy there: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9YMhCBPISxb

As far as the build, there are a few good PL9823 RGB Cube builds over on YouTube and instructables, so I won't reproduce their work. LED's and Protoboard came from Amazon:

Protoboard - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZYZMM3H

LEDs - https://www.amazon.com/MOKUNGIT-PL9823-Addressable-Chipset-F5/dp/B01ABUDW6C/

The microphone came from Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1063

The project runs on a Arduino Mega, for now it's running the latest VU Meter code from Cine-Lights channel on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOG6Bi2kvpDa1c8gHWZI5CQ/feed - be sure to check it out, great inspiration there. There's also a build video in the feed for a cube like this one, if you need some more detail. I swear, this guy has some of the best looking RGB VU meters out there, be sure to check it out, great inspiration there. My Fire Lamp base is for his Fire Lamp project.

I'll probably add screw holes in the future, once I rotate back to this project. Not really necessary as it's easy enough to drill them, but I do want to add them. I'll post some video once I get some audio that won't get it pulled from YouTube. Enjoy!

Notes:

Print the lid with heavier infill, as the cube's protoboard is mounted on it. I used 50% and it works great.
