Magnenaut came up with an interesting way to make 2 types of solid cubes with a diagonal pattern that have tetrahedral symmetry of the corners. Shortly after seeing his tutorial I found how to make the 3rd type, a series in which the smallest cube has 3 magnets on each corner, which is shown in this video. (in one of Magnenaut's series the smallest cube has 1 magnet on each corner, in his other series each cube has 4 corners with 1 magnet and 4 corners with 3 magnets)
