Wedged Cube DD

I created the wedged cube model in the digital designer. Getting it would cost $5.54. Seems a little expensive for 22 pieces. I'll have to try getting one sometime.

Wedged Cube

I initially created 8 corners using some wedge plates thinking of making a large cube. I was trying to come up with a way to connect them nicely and stumbled upon the smaller cube below that uses just 4.

A closeup of the corner's "inside." The build pictures below create the cube differently since it seemed easier to construct it that way rather than trying to connect four of these corner pieces together.

All the pieces used for this model, just three types.

Two wedges and a 2x2 plate make up each side of the cube.

Place a wedge on the 2x2 plate as shown.

Put the other wedge next to the first.

Make 5 more of these for a total of 6.

Turn over three of the sides and place connector bricks as shown.

Assembly these three sides to form half of the cube.

Carefully add two more. It might be slightly tricky to get good, solid connections between the bricks. If you take your time and make adjustments it will eventually work out.

The final cube using "wedges."

Twisted Column

The twisted column was originally created as a way to organize my 1x2 jumper plates by color.

Start by placing two jumper plates side by side to make a 2x2 square.

Place another jumper plate across the studs formed by the 2x2 square.

Place two more to build up the column.

Continue placing additional plates in twos to create the column.
