A 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter face of the cube was printed out in preparation for week eight.  In total, there are one edge piece, two straight pieces, three turn pieces, and one t-shaped piece. 


Figure One: Test Face with Test Pieces

The ball bearing (3/8'') fits very nicely in the grooves of the test pieces.  A few glass test pieces were cut, but they were .066 inches thick instead of .06 inches thick, as said on the website.  The gaps of the test pieces that were printed out were too small for the real glass to fit. So in the final pieces, the gaps will be larger, .2 centimeters.
