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 non-integer multiple cubes.
Could you, say, make a cube whose edges were 3.5 long? Or 4 studs and 2 plates?
I doubt anyone’s gonna get one that’s smaller than a 2-stud long side, but if
anyone can, I’d still love to see it!

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 (...)

| (...) Hi, Here is my attemp of a 3x3x3 cube: (3 URLs) The two 1x3 sides are a bit fragile because they are only cliped on less than half the height of a stud. This cube will be then probably disqualified for that, but maybe it will give some ideas (...) (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
