Paper Rubik's Cube.

I know it's not the only one, but I found this version in my YouTube feed this weekend and it looks pretty nice. Even includes a blank version you can re-colour yourself!

Functional Paper Rubik's Cube - Original & Minecraft: 11 Steps (with Pictures)

Gonna give it a try and see how it turns out.

Cheers,

John Gay

Why not? Everything else in the world can be made smaller and out of paper. I love it. I've never been gable to do this challenge so why not build one. My son will love this one. He's a Rubik's Cube freak. He can solve it so fast. Thank you for the great link. wc

Interesting.

I saw a "new" Rubiks cube the other day.

It has the cubes in the middle missing. It costs twice as much nearly as the normal one.

Go figure!

Printed the blank one, because my colour printer is missing a toner or two ATM.
Got as far as finishing the core with the centre faces. Put extra glue, a bit at a time on the joints to strengthen it. Really should get some CA instead of just Elmer's, but I just prefer Elmer's.
The other faces are two parts each. The cube-like portion and the corner/edge retainer portion to glue together. But I'll tackle those next.

I always wanted to see how such a cube worked. This model could provide the answer.

Quick view of the start.

Front View


And Side View


It's only after uploading these images I realize the retaining parts aren't shown well at all. But if you've ever opened a Rubik's Cube you know how it works.

Just got 7 more corners and 11 more edge pieces to make and it's finished.
