How in the world do you ever get that together without breaking something and what do you use in place of screws? Other than that, amazing design.

EDIT: I typed springs instead of screws. :lol:

This is incredibly, unbelievably small. I so totally want one. How much do you think it'd run me on Shapeways, a dollar? two? :lol:

I'm not trying to be mean (To you or to Grigr), but it is not legal to sell this cube. Looking at the photos on Grigr's shapeways page, it clearly uses v-mech (I could be wrong though). Other than that it is an amazing design and I cant comprehend how he got it together without breaking anything.

grigr · **Joined:** Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:38 pm **Location:** Russia

I open up the mechanism ...

the essence of my invention -
opportunity to join the central elements and the inner sphere,
so it was easy to produce, assemble in a single construction and play with it.

Microbic and V-3 (if someone, someday it will make) -
puzzle completely different classes that do not compete with each other ...
personally I do not see violations

ps
I hope there will not be a dirty discuss KO,
please write me a mail if you have doubts or complaints.

drew11 · **Posted:** Sun May 23, 2010 9:25 pm

I didnt want to start a ko argument. I just said that it used v-mech (I also said I could be wrong). I'm sorry if I made you mad I just wanted to point the mech out (This puzzle of this size would probably not work without it).

PS: how thin are those parts?

grigr · **Joined:** Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:38 pm **Location:** Russia

look here for yourself -
If you can see here the mechanism of v-3, then I have nothing to say...

Yes, it's very subtle elements ...

ps
nothing more I will not argue
I'm just going to play with this :lol:

It doesn't look like V3 to me, but I'm not hugely familiar with that design. Would it be possible to offer it for sale (for 3D print) on Shapeways? If not, maybe you could give out the files for people to make their own.

drew11 · **Posted:** Sun May 23, 2010 11:25 pm

After looking at the parts a little more they are a little different from a v-3 (Probably enough of a difference to sell them (If you do offer them up and the model is about $10-15 (It shouldn't use more than ~$2 of material) I will buy one as I am making a shapeways order on monday or tuesday)). You are a great designer and I would like to see some of your other designs made and offered for sale (The Elite Skewb is my favorite).

Wow, I use to many parentheses

theVDude · **Posted:** Sun May 23, 2010 11:30 pm

This is how I was designing mine. io's was different from this design, but I don't know by how much.

I will start to sell it a few days
you have to wait a bit ...
they will cost $ 15

for other projects I need time.
I think you'll see summer my new puzzles ...

Any hints for the stickers?

Thanks Ortwin
I took a few pieces of film Oracal,
cut it with scissors and glued to the cube.
yet you can use super glue

That's puny!!! With stickering, wouldn't it be better to mark the pieces with a marker than apply glue to a cube this small?

grigr · **Joined:** Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:38 pm **Location:** Russia

I think - stickers is better

That would look dreadful.
I recently received a couple of the white Microbic Cubes and think they are amazing. I can't believe how well they work. I highly recommend this puzzle to anyone.

Will you offer sticker sets for this cube?
I suggest sets with seven colors: white, orange, black, green, blue, red, yellow. This would make it possible to use as well on black, white and transparent cubes.
I cut my stickers from cubesmith stickers, don't look extremly nice due to my poor work. The stickers Tony Fisher used seem to have rounded edges, but I don't know how he made them.

I just slice the corners off at 45 deg. It looks fine unless you examine them really closely.

I have a limited stock now, and if there will be much interests, than I'll make more!
