The images #2-#4 steem from the sample presented by Jin H Kim in 2003 although there is evidence in the forum that it was built at least once before january 2002. This sets a limit for the year of presentation. It is unknown who built the first sample.
The first samples were made from 3x3x3's. Today there is a mass produced version available.
