The Super-Duper Cube

Ben Hendry · **Posted:** Sun Jul 16, 2006 8:01 pm

I've been wanting a 4x4x4 super-cube for a while, but I don't really care for the approach that just uses stickers, so I decided to make one using an alternative method. It has 192 stickers :shock:

and thus took longer to sticker than the mod itself took to build, but I think it was worth it.

There are a couple little things I would do differently if I were going to make another, but this is definitely good enough.

NICE

lol that is an awesome super cube good job

Clever. It reminds me of the 4x4x4 where all the centers have a whole extra cubie attached which does the same purpost but saves 2 stickers per center.

2x4x6= 48 stickers you could save.

I believe it's in one of the images in the collections thread.

Either way it's still impressive.

This looks like a very awesome cube to have. I was thinking that Jello33 or Stefan Pochmann's(who ever made it) I think would be harder because of that below.

1. You have to put the all 4 pieces in the right place

2. You have to orientate the each piece that on the face.

So in fact it is 24 less combanations if all of the same /right cubies are on the same face is on the to solve yours.

These are my $.02 cents worth

Yeah, it's the same concept in that they're both super cubes, but I really like the look of Ben's. Excellent work!

Yep - it's the same thing. I wanted one that you could see every face on (no faces un-stickered), which led me to this. I almost put the mini-cubies on every possible location, but realized that it would be hard enough to sticker with just the centers done, so I held off.

Thanks for the comps!

Now make it like a 2x2x6 with the center 4 extended sqaures being able to rotate.

Hi

Actually i do NOT think those 2 cubes are the same. If im not wrong, on the latter cube those 4 extra cubies on each face (making it a kinda 6x6x6 cube) do rotate. Whereas the ones attached to Ben's super-duper-cube simple do not move freely at all 8-)

Am i the only one who thinks this is the case :roll:

No, you're correct, Per. The "extensions" on that 4x4 do rotate.
