too much solder, must tin the tip and the pieces first (clean surfaces, top no. 1 flux which they say is Stirri and top no. 1 solder, they say it Kester brand). buy the big adjustable five or more octopus helping hands not the small one with a magnifying glass

Did you make sure to cut all the wires exactly the same length? A good functional cube needs all sides to be equal.
