I have a Bedlam Cube but wasn't aware of its history.
The patent has expired but the trademark is still active

Bedlam Puzzles Limited was incorporated on 18 April 2002 and dissolved 13 August 2013 https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04419698
The last useful capture of BPL’s website is Aug 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080828093713/http://www.bedlampuzzles.com/
The first capture stating “Bedlam Puzzles website has now closed”
is Feb 2011, presumably when Bruce Bedlam reclaimed his trademark. https://web.archive.org/web/20110202104128/http://www.bedlampuzzles.com/
My cube is wooden with colour pieces. Bedlam Puzzles Limited started selling these around Sep/Oct 2006, but I bought mine from a discount variety store. https://web.archive.org/web/20080509092957/http://www.bedlampuzzles.com/shop-woodmix.asp
Perhaps the moral of the story is that the cube is simple compared with the complexity of business and intellectual property.

This uses rigid rods. Seems obvious in hindsight?

This is what I was trying to do originally, I wonder what it would look like if I used rigid rods for the edges.

@mrdk @unnick This version shows how the cube/octahedron works using a rhombic dodecahedron (without scaling the bars to have constant length).

I'm not sure that these are related to the Jitterbug transformation.
This is my recreation of unnick's original cube/octahedron loop. I used the rhombic dodecahedron and rhombic triacontahedron for this and the previous loop. They remind me of tensegrity structures.
BTW, I made a couple of origami versions of the Jitterbug transformation many years ago. This one https://foldworks.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/jitterbug.pdf works better than the first version https://britishorigami.org/academic/davidpetty/origamiemporium/lam_jitterbug.htm
For years I've wanted to make an #LED #Cube - I even bought led matrix boards years ago, they been sitting in a box, just waiting. A couple of days ago I found a simple 5x5 (half cube) to print. So I printed it, finding my matrix boards, I thought, wow this thing printed too big, but it says 5x5 -- Hmmmm, so dummy me printed a 2nd, with the same results. I decided to scale it down 25% - and that worked.... Can you see the problem that took me a day to see?
