Wow, 1x6 only? I know a version of the flexicube that uses a 1x130 strip.
Care to share your secret of how you did it (CP/diagrams)? Would be really interesting
its surely made from that magical multidimensional paper, to get 8 six-sided cubes out of a 1x6 paper
oh, to make sure that nobody gets bothered: I was kidding.
Kijjakarn, thanks for the links, but I know how to fold this one by heart for some years now. Gadi's version has the bonus of not being really woven but more folded. Also 1x6 paper is more readily available than 1x130.
I apologize for getting all touchy-feely here but i just had to point out that this is a great example of the uniqueness of the origami community.....Gadi creates and shares with us all a wonderful and innovative design and takes the time to document the CP....then Nathan lends a helping hand and takes it to the next level for those (like me) that can benefit from extra instruction...and all this in about a day's turnaround.....i think it's encouraging that amidst all the stealing and cheating that goes on, that there are good things that come out of the immediacy of origami on the net....anyway, i'm off to fold this great model....thanks to Gadi, Nathan, and all the great users here which make reading and learning from the posts so much fun...
We now return you to your regularly scheduled pleading for diagrams
Wow, I have been wanting to do one of this even if i had to do the cubes one by one and then add glue and now I find there is this model done from a single sheet. Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing, I'll start to work on it right away.
I was worried: when you do the collapse between 1 and 3, I had two of the flaps that are inserted, so I thought that I had messed up somehow. Luckily, now I know that it was OK!
