That’s an odd way of putting it. Lots of things are assembled by hand, on large and small scales. It would have been more impressive to me if they had somehow built a special machine just to assemble this one cube.
I wonder how small of scale such a cube could be made? Tiny graphite cubes might be able to slide against each other at microscopic scales, but at a certain scale it might be impossible to use any pigments on the cubes.

Nano scale textures that can be picked up on a SEM?

It was a fucking annoying toy at full-scale.
(Annoying to me, admittedly, because I never cracked the trick).
But at this scale?
Now I’m of the age I need reading glasses?
That’s a double fuck-right-off from me.

Wowzers, that’s some precision work.
At the end, the suggested links contained this beast - a 13 x 13 cube ?!
