The one thing I noticed about the ones in the gif that yours did not have is that each side of the finished cube had all three colors. Each piece has 6 planes.
I will print another with more clearance, as these tended to need some force to put together.
And the finished assembly:
In case anyone is wondering, this is a 120 degree cut, revolved 300 degrees along the center axis of the cube (diagonal corner to corner). The parts turn out to be symmetric about said axis with this amount of revolution.

I could make this.
DO IT!!!!
I want one
The math was surprisingly simple.
THE INTERNET LIED.
It just falls apart
Here it is assembled.
Here is it after I let go..
Hmm, well the pieces in the gif look very different than the ones in your picture, so maybe that's it?
I'm home, and @GnomeQueen was right, they aren't the same. I stand corrected, I'm full of lies and awful.
That being said, I figured it out, I think. Shall find out tonight.

I look forward to seeing the next try
OK, here is the latest attempt. It works!

For science:
And because it looks cool with clearance:
I fucking love science.
Printed the clearance model shown above. I added a bit too much and its a little to easy to go together now. But it looks good if you guys want one
I have the colors shown and black
Do they stay together?
Yes, but they slide around if you hold them.
Together
Holding it:
