Rubik's Magnetic Cube prototype: centerpiece
With the drill press and its built-in stop configured for drilling perfectly centered holes (eyeballed) at the right depth (also eyeballed), I began work in earnest. This is the centerpiece that holdes the 6 center face pieces to the middle. This is what in a real Rubik's Cube would be the center jack. Instead of screws through springs, my version will use powerful D32 neodymium magnets from K&J Magnetics.
