Why are clips needed?

Clips are designed to fasten two adjacent cubiks together and hold the connection in a specified position.

How many clips should be used to connect two cubiks

Minimum — 2 clips

To connect two cubiks, two clips installed on different edges are usually sufficient.

Recommended standard — 4 clips

Four clips fasten two cubiks together securely enough for the vast majority of structures.

Since it is not always clear in advance where the load will be applied, a universal solution is to place clips on each of the four sides of the connection.

More than 4 clips — more often for appearance

In most cases, more than four clips per pair of cubiks are needed not because "it's stronger," but because it looks better: the slots are filled, a neat rhythm appears, and the structure looks more complete.

Plan access to clips in advance

If the structure is to be dismantled or rebuilt, it is important to place the clips so that they can be reached by hand. Otherwise, the clips will be "locked" and dismantling will be difficult or impossible without partial disassembly.

Typical situations where clips become inaccessible:

• The structure has been assembled and turned over. The clips will be on the floor side — under the weight of the structure, they will be out of reach
• The structure has been moved close to the wall. The clips on the wall side cannot be removed until the structure is moved away
• The clips are covered by other cubiks. In a large assembly, some of the connections may be covered by subsequent rows.

Practical rule:

Before the final installation of the clips, think about the sequence of disassembly: what will you remove first, and will you still have access to the necessary clips after the structure is in its working position (on the floor, against the wall, in a niche, etc.).

Clips as a design element

Clips can also serve a decorative function:

• Sometimes it makes sense to use clips in every slot to achieve a "dense", finished pattern
• Sometimes you can skip slots to make the look lighter
• Sometimes a contrasting colour clip works beautifully as a neat accent.

Completion and additional purchases

We complete sets based on the following calculation: 4 clips per cubik, in the same colour as the cubiks.

If you need more clips or want a different colour pattern, you can purchase additional clips in any colour — they are sold in packs of 150.
