limit cube

thingiverse

Using similar mechanics to the Rubik's cube, this 2x2 style puzzle is limited in its rotational capabilities due to a constrained pivot point. This limitation creates a challenging experience reminiscent of traditional puzzles. To successfully assemble this cube, you'll need to print eight cubies: two core pieces and six outer pieces. I used super glue to hold the parts together, and so far it has worked flawlessly with only minor filing required to ensure smooth motion. Assembly: First, file the cores to enable effortless rotation. Next, attach the top surfaces of the core twos and core ones using super glue. Insert the holding pin into the core twos' hole without gluing it in place. Place the cubies onto the core two and core one assembly, then secure the tab from the holding pin into the core one assembly. Allow the glue to dry completely before handling. Now you're ready to enjoy this unique puzzle!
