2x2 Magnetic Dice Cube

Step 4 Glue the Magnets

At first, to glue the magnets, I attached four magnets to the steel ball, two with opposite polarities to the other two. Then I added some glue to the holes of four dice, and placed one of the magnets on the ball into the hole of each die. But I soon found out that this technique doesn't really work that well. It's best to just put some glue (not too much) in each hole, and then shove a magnet in it, making sure it's all the way down. If the magnet looks like it's riding too high, you may have to take it out and redrill the hole a little deeper (after the glue dries). You also should make sure that four of the magnets have the opposite polarity of the other four, but it really doesn't matter which is which.

That's it for this step. If you've already made a 3x3 cube, you will be telling yourself "gosh that was easy" right now.
