MAGNETIC ORIGAMI POCKET CUBE (Jo Nakashima) - 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube

How to make a magnetic origami Pocket Cube (2x2x2 Rubik's Cube)
Designed by Jo Nakashima (10/2020)

The Pocket Cube (also known as the Mini Cube) is the 2x2x2 version of the Rubik’s Cube puzzle. This is a modular origami and each cube is made from a square sheet of paper. The “stickers” are also origami units connected to the cubes without glue nor tape.
To make it fully functional, I’ve attached magnets inside the cubes using double sided tape. Although it’s an easier puzzle, the magnet positioning isn’t as straightforward as the 3x3x3 version. I made it based on Larry D. Nichols cube puzzle, but using pairs of magnets.

The best thing about this cube is that it's easy to fold and that if you scramble it you can simply disassemble it and put it back together in the right order :))
