Constructing a Flexi-Cube with Paper, Cardboard or Tissue Boxes
Flexi-cubes or infinity cubes are popular fidgeting toys. At the same time, these poses an interesting design challenge. In this module, you will learn the working mechanism of a flexi-cube by replicating the design using paper or tissue or cardboard boxes.
Here's a video that demonstrates these objectives.
