| (...) hmmm. I have a suspicion that most non-integer cubes are impossible because of the way the surfaces can be constructed. Each side of a surface must be constructed out of I + 1/5 J plate units (I and J integer) since we can only make them out (...)

| Of course, the thing that's still missing is the 3x3x3 cube! We've discovered how to make a 2x2x2, a 4x4x4, 5x5x5, and anything larger that's an integer multiple of studs... But no 3x3x3's :( The other thing that I haven't seen tried is making (...) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| As per this challenge way back 3 years ago ( (URL) ), I present the 2x2x2 cube. No gap this time from the technic half pin. It doesn't fit quite tight but usually will not fall apart when picked up either. This is inspired by (URL) . (2 URLs) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

| (...) Believe it or not, I worked some of this out whilst placing sheep. We use a lot of the sheep based on a 2x3 brick, but they all tend to line up in the same direction. So, next time you're building a flock, try this: Place two 1x1 round plates (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) For the sake of completeness, it's worth to mention this technique not only works for any length, but also for any width of plate/brick. In other words, you're able to slant ? x 2, ? x 4 and so on by mirroring along the diagonal as well, using (...) (17 years ago, 18-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
