Martin Steurbaut's Lego Rubik's Cube

[DLuders]

"Twentysixcubies" (a woman from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) just posted a YouTube video of Maarten Steurbaut's Lego Rubik's Cube. Now enjoying its 30th anniversary, the Rubik's Cube is a popular toy (but not as popular as Lego). She shows how it functions, but this website shows how to make it.

Of course, no cool contraption would be possible without Lego TECHNIC pieces! Even if you don't have MLCAD on your computer, the pictures on Steurbaut's website and the video may be good enough to make one.

It's an interesting concept I suppose, but it doesn't seem very sturdy at all.

It looks like an actual Rubik's Cube, but I agree that it doesn't look like it's very sturdy at all.

I built it some months ago but it was so bad I could not even turn a side. It just broke all the time I did not have the chance to.

Has anyone tried the big one? It looks much better so Im really interested in it.

Interesting...

It does look pretty flimsy, but I'll have to try it in the future.

Good cube but isn't it a bit flimsy? It looks like every now and then it falls apart. It is good for it's size, but again it looks like it's going to fall apart every moment.
