Magnetic Acrylic Rubik's Cube

By Allan Chochinov - April 17, 2006

A great project for all those designers with a bag full of extra acrylic cubes and a drill press. This is our favorite part:

Enjoy your new cube, labeled or not, and remember that if you want to apply imagery to the faces of the cube, the edges and corners will always work out again when you solve it, but the centers can end up in 1 of 4 rotations, which greatly increases the number of possible solutions, and makes solving it by traditional methods all kinds of way harder. You can use that to your advantage in a cube with a pattern that can have its subcomponents twist without getting messed up.

Luckily, the magnetocube is easy to take apart and put back together, either way :)
