NEW Diagonal Cube Instruction
This is a new version of the diagonal cube I came up with by accident. This one is not completely solid, uses 236 magnets and has the same magnetic field as Magnenaut's version :)
Step 1: create a hexagon/triangle with an edge-length of 2,3,2,3,2,3 (it is also possible with 3,4,3,4,3,4 - 578 magnets)
Step 2: create a second one and put them together interlocking
Step 3: repeat step 2 four times and bring them together as a tetrahedron. The edges that are three magnets long are touching
Step 4: create again hexagons (2,3,2,3,2,3) and put them down right across the corners (blue magnets)
Step 5: fill in the gaps with two lonely magnets (green magnets) and start to complete the tips (triangles across blue magnets)
Complete now the rest of the corners with triangles (green tips) and you will end up with a complete diagonal cube.
