Turning a 2x2 into a 3x3!?

I attempt an interesting modification to prove that every 2x2 Rubik's Cube is really just a 3x3 on the inside!

[@edsmith236]

i asked my brother to scramble my 2x2 (i just learned ortega and wanted to show him), but he handed it back to me with the corner all fucked up. turns out he tried to twist the corner that was anchored and bent the surrounding plastic. (he has basic knowledge about cubes and thought it'd be funny), which is fine, i thought i could explain the situation to my mom and ask her for a new one ($15). she said "he couldn't have known better" (brother is 14 btw and i always tell him to not touch my things, but he does anyway. when i do let him, shit like this happens) and that i couldn't get a new one. now i'm left 2x2-less.

[@theanomynusguy]

what CAD software did you use to make those parts?

[@kenzo_1172]

use the corners that you took off and somehow temporally attach them to the corners, to have the 3x3 hidden inside the 2x2

[@debejunpyung]

Now turn a -1x-1 into a 0x0. Or make a 3D cube into a 4D cube. 😮

[@thebananaspeedruns9275]

The 2x2x2x2 already exist, it was one of the most complicated puzzles to make in resent times

[@melvinshaw7574]

​@thebananaspeedruns9275 I understand the basics behind the real-life 2×2×2×2, but I absolutely cannot wrap my head around the gyro algorithms. Obviously some modifications were necessary to produce anything remotely functional in our 3D world, but I can't help but feel as though there's some better implementation possible.

Strangely enough, it wouldn't shock me, if it was really the orange stickers. I had an Moyu Aosu (I think that was the name) and sometimes some of the stickers fell off. Orange probably twice as often as the other colors combined.
