This cube opens up in three directions according to the diamond lattice mechanism. It prints in separate pieces, and the hinges snap into the sockets. You will need eight cube pieces and twelve hinges. The hinges should be arranged symmetrically with four in the center going one direction, four in the middle of a face going a perpendicular direction, and four on an edge going yet another perpendicular direction. I put on the colors using my usual strategy of printing in white filament and using permanent marker. I also have a video of the design working and me explaining it below. The following was my source of inspiration for this design:
