Week 2

April 18, 2018

This week, we continued to develop our ideas regarding the size of our cube and how we want to assemble it. We almost finished constructing the pieces for the first set, which will be a colored cube. The divots for the magnets need to be incorporated into each piece. The cube shown below in figure 1 was designed by Kaley, but there might be small modifications in the final design.


Figure 1: Modeled Puzzle Cube

The 10 cm x 10 cm cube features six sides with a different color every side (black, red, blue, yellow, green, and white). The set consists of 18 pieces (subject to change).

The attached link will show how each piece is connected to form the cube as seen above.

We also created a simple prototype 6 cm x 6 cm cube, shown in figure 2, made of three different pieces. The inner faces of the cube have holes for magnet placement. This will allow us to test the strength of the magnets and have an idea of where they need to be placed on our final design.
