I now have one sitting on top of my monitor :D
That was a productive lunch.

That’s not a Weighted Companion Cube! That’s a Weighted Companon [sic] Cube! Horrible things may happen!
report
If only I had access to a colour printer! B&W just wouldn’t do the WCC justice :(
report
I understand what the cube is and how to fold it, but what are the other things on the picture ?
report
those extra bits are for the edges to go in between the corner parts
report
corners

Does anybody have a photo of the finished cube ?

No weighted companion cube will ever be as good as your first. I miss you Cubina, may you burn in peace.

I printed it out and its getto. i used tape. and didnt even use the small little bits
report
What sort of glue did you use?
report
Here’s my attempt: http://i22.tinypic.com/2iw3z6.jpg
First time I’ve made something like this – took a lot of tape and patience. :)
report
Put it into an incinerator!
report
Patrick, sir, that is incredible.
report
Looks great even without the ‘depth’ but I taped nickels onto each panel inside, I like my Weighted Companion Cubes to have a bit of…weight.
report
I think those other LITTLE pieces are to make it look 3-deminsional or something…you know the corners that stick out and such.
I cut one of those out, and you need a little man’s fingers to make those folds, for the life of me I can’t do that part….but I did make the basic
——->> CUBE
report
How do i put the little corner pieces on? I have no idea how.
report
Great idea! I printed it but the little peaces are way tooooooo small. I wish i had a printer that could print huge paper!!!
report

report
I love my companion cube.
report
thats nice
report
Ok how i make it guide plz anybody
report
rules 1 & 2
report
If you print and paste the printable conpanion cube large on microsoft word. Then on a seprate piece of paper, you can print out the small parts, you can have more room on the page to enlarge the small pieces. Now you have a bigger companion cube.
report
please make instructions on how to make this or a video.
report
Those of you asking for a guide please take a look at Patrick’s cube: http://i22.tinypic.com/2iw3z6.jpg
In order to make precise folds you’ll need to pre-score the fold lines with a scoring tool. An example of a scoring tool could be an exacto knife with very light pressure: just enough so that the paper will fold at the scored line. A good qualtiy paper is important since it’s a bit thicker. Be sure to leave tabs to allow attachment. If you study Patrick’s cube you should be able to figure out where to cut and where to score.
report
now all we need are turret papercrafts!

Your wish is someone else’s command: http://jetlogs.org/2008/03/02/portal-turret-papercraft/

For the little parts I used a toothpick,I just needed to grab it with the very edge of my finger in the very edge of the part,and then pushed it down.
report
That’s a wonderful idea.
It might just do the job : vigilon.
report
Cool ! I must try it right away !

Arg! I am pretty good with origami and stuff, and this looks pretty simple, but I don’t have a printer! And if I could I would make a guide for it too!
