Tony Fisher's Nano Cube

I got kind of bored working on Containers today so I thought I'd do something different. I decided to make what is probably the smallest Rubik's Cube in the world (15mm side). Since it doesn't have cubic cubies though I guess technically this is incorrect. I'd like to think however it is the smallest Rubik's Cube type puzzle ever made. In some of the photos there is also a 20mm keychain cube and a regular cube for scale. It was a little tricky to get a professional finish though it works pretty well.

Little cubes for little people. This can actually spur a whole new line of designer little puzzles!

did you make the entire thing? what is the mechanism? Great job. why is it not all equal lengths for each piece?

that would make sense why the edges are bigger then the corners

You may have already been beaten, Tony. Take a peek at:

For unknown reasons I didn't measure it and it's in storage at the moment so I can't give the full details. But from looking at the picture and assuming I wasn't too close when taking the picture, it's about 2/3 the size of a 20mm keychain cube, which would make it 13mm or so. That matches my recollections - the stickers are only about 3mm square.

Keep you eye on those little trinket dispensers in the front doors of malls - that's where my wife found this for me.

Very nice!

Yes it was made from a 20mm keychain cube. I used a Dremel to shave it down until I hit the screws.

Joshua,
Are you saying the bigger cube in your photo is 20mm? It looks like one of the larger ones to me. (sorry, I am not disputing what you say)

Hmm, you're right - now that I'm a little more awake, it's probably on the order of 40mm or whatever the standard keychain size is.

Never mind.
