The 2x2x4
| This 2x2x4 was build from two 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube and 8 center pieces from a 4x4x4
revenge. I used a concept of Wayne Johnson (Twisty). |
| *NEW*Jake Rueth concept for a 2x2x4, you
only need two 2x2x2 and a bit of milliput, see pictures in this article |
| Disassemble a Rubiks Cube 2x2x2 |
Disasemble postion
- Take the right and the left corner
- Now Pull and turn with force but gently (torsion/twist movement)
| To Assemable take the three different connection pieces and put them in one cubie,
all the odd shaped go in the inside. After this is put it back, the last piece you
twist in place. You need a bit of force for this. |

| The corner piece with the "slide track" and the center piece with the grooves.
If you can build fast you can use Universal Permanent Repair (thats what I used) instead
of Milliput this is a two compound epoxy, should be available in any hardware store. *NOTE* Use the amount for 1 piece at the time,
this kind of epoxy is hard in 5 minutes!! The above result is 2 hours work, after this I
need about 4 more hours to fit every piece exact in place, you can make little correction
using the expoy. It is recommended to use a well played 2x2x2 for the center, if new
you should "break it in" and just turn it for a couple of hours, or you can just
adjust the inside tracks to fit. |
Wayne Johnson (Twisty) Concept for a 2x2x4
| The edge is quite simple, bind the four edges together and drill a hole (9mm) in the
middle, You can use a dremel grind stone 932 for this. Each edge has a quarter circle
grove. |
| Make a horizontal grove, I used a dremel grind stone 8215 for this. |
| Use a 4x4x4 Center piece to make a lip on the corner. Make the corner piece flat with a
grind stone |
| Now make the other 2x2x2 part hollow and fill them with Milliput and push the flat
corner piece in the milliput. |
| Success! |
