How to Make a Cube with Buckyballs™

Much higher quality tutorial can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNydkDMvi2c

A short tutorial I made showing how to make the 6x6x6 cube out of Buckyballs™.

Note: You need all 216 magnets to do this, If you have lost any, this won't work.

Is it ok if you do the 6x6 cube with 125 Bucky balls

[qwertyboy1234567899]

@MsMdog17 You can't. Check out my tutorial for making a 5x5x5 cube instead.

[MsMdog17]

[dfeuerzeig]

[tiediefreakes]

WAY TO HARD

[MrJackass230]

does it work if you lost 4 ???????

[MrMurp123]

So much easier than making a sheet!

Easier explanation: make your buckyballs into a chain. Count 12 and hold that spot. Get the first buckyball at the beginning of the chain and connect it to the 12th buckyball. Keep wrapping until you have 18 layers of 12 bucky balls. They should all be lined up with each other. Get the bucky ball case. Count 6 layers and cut it. Repeat until you get 3 of them. Get one of the cylinders and carefully attach the two sides. You should get a rectangle. Do it for all the other pieces. Connect them.
