I made all these shapes from the tiny 216 rare earth magnets you get with Buckyballs. I’ve been addicted to them. My Mom got them for me after hearing a geek XMas shopping list on NPR. I gave up trying to figure out how to make a cube and found plenty of video instructions and other demonstrations. You can get Buckyballs here. It’s named after Fullerenes, which is named after R. Buckminster Fuller.
