   As per this challenge way back 3 years ago ( http://news.lugnet.com/build/schleim/?n=80 ), 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 http://flickr.com/photos/73335091@N00/308193735/ .






It seems we are condemned to re-discover endlessly building tricks :

To both reply to this post and the one mentionned by Didier about the sturdyness, I noticed that if you put the 4 1x1 tiles stud out and in the exact middle of the 2x2 tile then the building will be more sturdy than putting the 1x1 tiles in the corner as in the picture above.

The groove of the 1x1 tiles will fit together perfectly and lock the 4 tiles together. Of course you need to use the new 1x1 tiles with groove.

Then instead of using a new brick 2x2 that have a thin face but with two little male groove, use a old 2x2 that have thick smooth face inside. It will be quite difficult to push the top into the brick, and in fact you will need to use a sharp stuff such a pen or a knife to remove the 1x1 tile from the 2x2 brick.

But with these advices you will definitly be able to roll the cube as a dice!

PS: I never underestimate the usefulness of the new and old design of a same part! :-)

I tried and I think that it is better to use 2 x 50746 slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3 (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/50746) instead of 4 x 1x1 tiles
