Magnetic Acrylic Rubik's Cube

Step 2 Get some cubes

I researched cubes of all sorts online, including wooden blocks, "learning cubes," cubes of ABS, PVC, etc, and finally settled on 3/4" clear cast acrylic cubes from Tap Plastics:

I got 3 sets of 10, as I needed 27. The extra 3 helped me test things out, which saved me some big trouble. These aren't all that precise, with romboid and trapezoidal angles aplenty, but in the end, they work well, especially as they're nicely rounded.

 hmmm, rather than stickers, I wonder if you could dye the cubes for the colors.  It would look much nicer and stick with the clear theme.
