just finished the cube, will try to make a video and post it tomorrow and hopefully some better pics too ;P

in case anyone is wondering about the polarity's what i did was all the center pieces have a magnet with N pointing outwards and all of the edge pieces have a magnet with S pointing inwards, this way the pieces will always attract to each other, even if turned around.
This also means that inside each edge piece the magnets repel each other, not strong enough to push the edge piece apart but enough to stop them pulling to each other and possible breaking the glue over time.

How is it at the moment?
