📑 Assembly Instructions
1: 3D print the parts above and gather the required non-3D printable parts.
|  |
2: Insert 6 Nuts into the Core.
Hint: Use a hex key to position/align them correctly.
|  |
3: Insert a Screw through a Washer, then through a Spring, then through a Centre piece.
Then screw it into the Core.
|   |
| 4: Repeat this 3 more times to form a circle around the Core. |  |
5: Complete the circle by placing 4 Edge pieces between the Centre pieces.
|  |
6: Hold the cube on its side, then place 4 Corner pieces into the top of the cube.
|  |
7: Then, place 4 Edge pieces between the 4 Corner pieces.

8: Screw a Centre piece into the middle.
Remember to use a Washer and Spring.
|  |
9: Repeat steps 6-7 for the other side.
|  |
10: When all Centre pieces are screwed into place, all pieces should be locked into place.
If the cube does not rotate smoothly, try loosening some of the screws.
