The 2x2x6 in different states. The 2x2x6 is invented and described by Geert Hellings. I used two 4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge (Master) cube for the parts.

Soldering Iron & filling caps

I did some experiment with a low power solder iron (15Watt) and plastic from a revenge. I filled the caps between the cubies of a 4x4x4. This might also work to build the wall cube. I use the solder iron to melt the plastic and fill the cap.

I used a spare part (of an other cube), melt it first and put it on top of the cap. You can use the solder iron to flat out and melt the plastic.

	*WARNING* DO NOT melt the existing plastic! Use only a LOW power Solder iron!
	Dissamble positon for a 4x4x4

If you have an old type Ideal UK 1982 Revenge or 1982 Arxon Master Cube, they will have a screw under the blue logo sticker. So remove the sticker and remove the center and the cube can be disassembled without any problem.

	This is the trick, the centers are used as axle off the 6th layer!
	Top layer pieces, build 7 Top pieces, for the 8th piece DO NOT glue the center on top. The last part will be completed when you assemble the puzzle. Select 1 corner cubie and 3 edge cubies, and saw the rims off to make a cubie. Glue the cubies together and fill the gaps and hole with plastic using the solder iron and the spare plastic.

Second layer pieces, make 7 second layer pieces, the 8th will be compleeted when you assemble the puzzle. Select 1 corner cubie and 2 edge cubies. Glue the cubies together and fill the gaps. You need to flat the internal part to allow the centers (6th layer) to turn.

Middle layer pieces, just build the eight pieces.To assemble this piece on the kernel you need to unsrcew two shells on the kernel. Select 1 edge cubie and 2 center cubies. Glue the cubies together and fill the gaps.

Assemble the cube, make the last second layer piece on the assembled cube. *WARNING* after this you would not be able to disassemble the 2x2x6! Optional is not to build this piece.

Assemble the last part, this is a little puzzle, position the "hole" at the front right,

2X2X6_last!.JPG (6521 bytes) turn (B L) to get 2X2X6_last!2.JPG (9100 bytes)

Now lift the center and glue the last part *WARNING* after this you would not be able to disassemble the 2x2x6! Optional is not to glue this piece, but to drill a hole and use a screw.
