Cube Design

We were asked as a project grade to create a cube out of hardwood. But instead of using hardwood we used 1cm cubes. But before we had to make combinations of pieces using 3, 4, 5 and 6 cubes using these constrains:
1. The puzzle must be fabricated from 27, ¾” hardwood cubes.

2. The puzzle system must contain exactly five puzzle pieces.

3. Each individual puzzle piece must consist of at least three, but no more than six hardwood cubes that are permanently attached to each other.

4. No two puzzle pieces can be the same.

5. The five puzzle pieces must assemble to form a 2 ¼” cube.

6. Some puzzle parts should interlock.


This the final prototype:





Then we were asked also create a box that will carry the box
as if we were selling the puzzle cube.
