Ghost Cube

Puzzlemaster42 · **Posted:** Thu Jan 01, 2009 12:37 am

Here is another puzzle that was mentioned in the DCD posts.

I think this may be the most difficult 3x3x3 mod ever made. In fact, it took over an hour to properly assemble the puzzle!
This puzzle will be available for sale in the near future, but the details are secret for now.

The puzzle will be white with black stickers, but enjoy the pictures of the black with gold stickers as a special new years treat.

Enjoy the pictures!

Looks great once again.

Looking forward to seeing the white cube with black stickers.

i'm loving all these new 3x3x3 mods that are being made!

Very cool! Although I think I prefer the look of one that has no stickers at all, like the white one.

In the second picture I can see the 3x3 in it, but in the others, particular moves seem to be blocked. Does the cube in "solved" state have slices turned 45 degrees or so? That would be my guess at least. I love how it looks, great job.

I also plan on designing a full (26 different pieces) mod of some kind. I want it to be original and interesting, not just a modification of an existing concept...

is this the puzzle you were talking about?
or do i have to wait more???

BTW this is AWESOME!!!!

That's a very weird 3x3x3. I'm looking forward to owning one.

Myke · **Posted:** Thu Jan 01, 2009 1:38 pm

Very cool mod.

It looks like there is a partial turn on one of the faces in addition to the mech being tilted in a different direction?

that looks awsome, are any of the inner 3x3 layeers turned to a certain degree inside the cube shape?

And thus the Fisher's Golden Cube's brother is born...Great job on the design!

it seems that from the solved position, not all axes are "turnable" some are skewed and then reformed into cube shape

I think it looks fantastic even without stickers

Just from looking at it.. am I correct in thinking that in its solved state, this cube can only be turned in one dimension?
i.e. is the solve state actually made from a misaligned regular 3x3x3? and one needs to (mis)align this cube on that one dimension to be able to move it in the others ?

You don't even have to sticker it, It looks so nice without.

Another Ghost Cube! Stickered at the SF meetup today.

More details to come...

It was stickered right before me too! It is a pretty cool cube.

Wow, that looks amazing! I can't wait to see the rest of the pics. I see Drew's ET made a cameo in that pic too

Adam, your fourth photo reminds me of some patterns seen on the footpaths, walls, and stairs of my island!

are you ever going to release the builing details, or is this a closely-kept secret?

Great job! I'd love to have this one and try to solve it !

LewAshby · **Posted:** Sat Jan 24, 2009 5:57 am

In the video description it says "There will be a small mass production soon."

Is that still the plan and how would it be done?

Wow.. I absolutely love this. It's insane.

LOL

Bump....

Check out this thread.
A better comment/question would be when is the link on the first post of that thread going to get restocked?

Peace

More puzzles coming soon. The Petaminx took a lot of time, but that just had to be done...

For everyone wondering where this puzzle got the name "Ghost Cube", check out the attached 3D PDF.

theVDude · **Posted:** Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:54 pm

So, why aren't there any transparent ones?

If I had one, I'd definitely make molds and make a transparent one, just for me.

But no way would I destroy the masters, I'd be using a real ghost cube! :lol:

Anyway, if anyone does this, pictures are GREATLY needed.

Could someone take a screenshot of the PDF?

When I saw the black one with white stickers the first thing that popped into my mind was "this should be called the phantom cube."

Technically, phantom cube has already been taken 8-)
