What is interesting about the cubic units is the way they connect. Two equal units each have 4 magnets sticking out a bit in the center, yet twisted a bit. Those magnets sticking out turn a join into a very strong connection. Also, at the end, I show how to make larger double inner layered stars, of which the on with 9 dots sticking out on the rim is horrendously hard to make and extremely unstable as well. An experienced builder should be able to make the '8' though, given the tutorial.
