No 1 looks familiar but I think only because I have played with the idea
myself. It works better if the three modules all have three faces and the
tabs rather than just two.

Haven't seen the others. No 4 looks interesting.

Many other modular cubes for comparison at

[Origami] New modular cubes?

[Sy Chen]

My friend, Jim Weir and I recently tossed around the idea of teaching
simple modular design for a local event. We came up with a few simple ideas
for cubes. Some of them are very simple.

Do you know if someone else had created it before? Any published reference
or links are much appreciated.



Photos of finished models and units can be seen here:
