Ekobots - Magnetic Cube Puzzle

thingiverse

This puzzle cube consists of 8 interconnected pieces held together by strong magnets. To add to the challenge, some magnetic fields restrict the cube's solvability, increasing its overall difficulty level. Try solving it without looking at a pre-made map. For inspiration, look up the Soma Cube designed by Piet Hein. Warning: This puzzle is hazardous for children under 8 years old due to small parts that can be aspirated and cause fatal injuries. Refer to the instructions below for safety precautions. This puzzle is not intended for kids; its fragile components can break easily and get swallowed, potentially leading to fatal internal injuries if not treated immediately. Caution: Tiny magnets inside can kill children if ingested in large quantities. Magents: When attaching magnets, don't force them together as they may crack under pressure. The test piece must be printed beforehand to accurately measure the magnet diameter for your 3D printer. Apply a strong glue appropriate to the plastic type and check polarity before attaching; mistakes can make assembly challenging. Two tiny magnetic fields at each inner corner will hold the pieces in place, held by pairs of magnets. To correctly identify the polarity representations, look beyond length. There are a total of 24 magnetic fields inside the puzzle cube.
