Hello there,
I started working on the resistor cube problem that we started thinking about in the resistor grid thread. Here are some results:
The only problem i ran into was that i was not able to verify the results for N>2 because i did not have any secondary method to calculate these values yet. They do look reasonable though, and the cube grid node values all look reasonable with the characteristic 1/2 Vcc showing up across a surface internal to the cube as expected (the 2d grid showed this behavior across the minor diagonal).
If anyone wants to try to verify any of these values that would be great.

N is the number of resistors on one edge, so number of nodes on one edge is N+1.
V is the voltage at the corner across one resistor that goes to ground.
R is the total resistance across two opposite 3d corners.
10v is applied to one corner, 0v to the oppositve corner.
Note that the "opposite corner" is across the center of the cube not just across one surface.
The solution with applied voltage across opposite corners of just one surface is a different problem.
All resistors in the cube are 10 ohms each.
If anyone wants to try to verify any of these values that would be great.
