That’s not a Weighted Companion Cube! That’s a Weighted Companon [sic] Cube! Horrible things may happen!

If only I had access to a colour printer! B&W just wouldn’t do the WCC justice :(

I understand what the cube is and how to fold it, but what are the other things on the picture ?
October 15th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
those extra bits are for the edges to go in between the corner parts

I just made this, but it tried to stab me, so i had to throw it into my home-edition incinerator

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

Here’s my attempt: http://i22.tinypic.com/2iw3z6.jpg

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.

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

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.

please make instructions on how to make this or a video.

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.

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.
