How to Fix a Broken Rubik's Cube

Hi my name is Chris, I'm 9 years old and this is my first Instructables.

My Rubik's Cube broke, so I fixed it. I first tried fixing it with SuperGlue, but that only lasted for about 15 minutes.

Here is how I fixed it.

Make a Hole for the Screw

Take a small screwdriver with a tip in between 1.5 and 2 mm wide. Make a hole with the screwdriver in the piece that stays inside the Rubik's Cube, unless that piece already has a hole. If it already has a hole, you may have to make it bigger with the small screwdriver.

Screw the Screw

Now you have to make sure that the screw fits in and it doesn't fall out.

Make Hole in Other Piece

Now remove the screw you put in the first piece. Take the second piece and place it correctly against the first piece and hold it together tightly. Now take the screwdriver and make a hole in the second piece by putting the screwdriver through the hole in the first piece. Now remove the first piece and make the hole in the second piece a little deeper.

Put Both Pieces Together

Place the screw in the first piece again. Hold it tightly against the second piece and screw it together.

Now all you have to do is place the piece back into its place.
