Rubik's cube magnet version.
There are some different versions:
Small version: On photo seen is a cube with 12mm cubie sidelength. I have started the 20mm cubie version (standard size). Because it takes a very lot of filament and my magnets are to small, I have cancelled this size.
Small Version takes 5x2 neodymium magnets. The holes in cubies for magnets have different depth. Center needs most strength, it is not so deep there. I have inserted the magnets and then I have melted the plastic around with solder iron. Check direction of the magnets before inserting.

Big version: You'll need 5x3 magnets.
Screw version: refer to openscad screenshot:
Buy a standard cube core. screw the mid pieces around (mid pieces with screw holes are g_.stl). Add the other pieces around for a 3x3x3 cube.
If you like to make 5x5x5, use inner mid piece e.stl and outer mid piece f.stl. Same if you like 7x7x7 cube.
Because we have lost our 5x5x3 cube at this forum (owner has deleted), you are able now to make a 5x5x3 magnetic version.
License: free for all. Copy it, sell it, sell thousands of cubes as you like. This is not a inventor's work, this is a weekend project of a normal person.
Do not: delete it. There should be minimum 1 webpage for free download without registration.
