ORIGAMI SEAMLESS CUBE (Jo Nakashima)

How to make a seamless origami cube
Designed by Jo Nakashima (06/2019)

In this tutorial you'll learn how to make an origami seamless cube step by step. This model was based on the origami Pandora’s Box by Yami Yamauchi. The original model has the edges of the pleat folds visible on the sides and it has a very nice mechanism to close the top and bottom. At first I just changed the pleat folds hidding them inside, but them I realized that I could make a different top and bottom to make it completely seamless.
The origami seamless cube is nice as a stand-alone model, but it became really great when I turned the locking flaps into connectors to combine multiple cubes. There are now many different modular origami made from cube units, check out my cube playlist to see all of them:

Excellent tutorial! It was the only cube tutorial I found that was 1: 1 piece of paper 2: not also a box 3: I could actually fold!
Other highlights: The camera showed the folding really well, not obscured by the hands. The addition of the type of folds as a diagram at the top right of the screen was very helpful

In case if anyone doesnt know the meaning of seamless cube is there is no creases on the flat sides of the cube

Hurrah I finished perfectly at the first attempt super cube

Neat. Found that you can get rid of the seams (which appear on the faces) by simply marking the spot with a ruler. I know, i know, it's against Origami rules, but it does yield a prettier cube.
