This is how I made my siamese Rubik's cubes i don't think I am the only one to it this way. But I haven't looked up any plans so I can say this is my take I the Siamese cubes.

I have used :
2x V-cube 3
Hot glue(optional)
Superglue
Sandpaper( various grits )
Dremel tool

Preparing the Cubes

To be able to work easier we must prevent the cubes from turning. So I taped them in their solved state. After you taped the puzzles then remove the stickers from the pieces that you are going to cut.

Cutting the Corners

Using the dremel sanding bit slowly shaved off some of the material from the corners. Goal is creating a straight and even surface for glue to stick.

Glueing the Corner Pieces to the Edge Piece to Add Stability (OPTIONAL)

After the cutting process you can apply glue between the cut pieces this part is optional but I think it makes the puzzle more stable

Final Assembly

For the final assembly first fill the pieces with your filler of choice( I used hot glue ) and sand it flush. (This step only applies to puzzles that have hollow pieces. )

After the filling process you are ready to smear some superglue and press the puzzles together.

You can put the sticker on top and bottom to finish the project.

You Are Done
