Hi
I'm new in this forum and to introduce myself I wanted to show you a MOC I made in january.
There are already versions of the Rubic's Cube, e.g. from Maarten Steurbaut, but the have difficulties with the size and the gaps that appears from the weight.
So I tried to build it my own way, with a scale that is nearer to the original cube. The result has a thickness of 17 plates and looks like this:
(sorry for the bad pictures. While I built it my mother went to holiday with the digicam...)
The Cube in its parts:
The Cube consist of:
- 8 corners
- 12 edges
- and the central link
Maarten Steurbaut used this link:
I did it another way, by using this two pieces:
+
=
So, how to build the cube?
First you have to place the four edges below, ...
... then the 4 below corners ...
... and after that you have to place the midlle edges.
At the end the other 4 corners and edges + the blue 2x2 tile.
Done
Result:
The cube works, but there are some problems when you try to contort the cube. The black and brown slopes will contact and cut out each other
