The Yoshimoto Cube is a fascinating mechanical puzzle invented in 1971 by Japanese inventor Naoki Yoshimoto. Comprised of eight interconnected cubes, it can fold and unfold itself cyclically without limit. When folded, the cube transforms into two rhombic stellated dodecahedrons that can be joined to form a square, a discovery made by Yoshimoto while exploring ways to split a cube equally in half. This intriguing puzzle has recently gained attention on Makezine blog and sparked discussions about creating printable molds for its components using various materials like resin or hot glue, with detailed instructions available online for assembly and taping the hinges. Despite its price of $65, the Yoshimoto Cube remains a popular challenge for puzzle enthusiasts.
