Hello everyone, I proudly present my first original production, from idea to construction. As a result of this, I am going to call it the Vergo's cube.
I am pleased with the result, but plan on making further versions where i make improvements and changes. The idea of combining beaded puzzle with twisty puzzle is something that is very interesting to me. I plan on producing other puzzles using this concept, and have many crazy things planned. So stay tuned as there will be more new puzzles in the future.
Thanks to Clayton Ertley for the stickers, and to Bcarlin for help with the files.
P.S. Video to come soon

Whew! That's thinking outside the box! This is a direct slap to all those people who complain about "all the good ideas being taken" and "It's not worth making mods because everything is already mass produced."
Great job, I loooove it!

I like the the concept of combining the two ideas. Very nice.

I think the diameter of the bead track has been chosen to prevent that happening on a 45 degree turn, when they're exposed the most.

Amazing! You combined the sliding parts of Oskar's twist and slide with the beads of twister. Simply amazing.

I think this is identical to smaz's time-machine solving-wise?(Apart from the numbered stickers made the time machine the "super"-variation)They also have the same number of pieces/beads per ring.

Very nice indeed, I've had this idea for quite some time but was held back by the 45 degree turns and the beeds falling out. Is that at all possible in this puzzle?

if you look at the last picture, the beads won't fall out.

Is there any chance you could upload the pictures to the site? Whatever site you have hosting them is blocked for me (using a PC at work).
Thanks.

Besides all of the things stated before, I have to say it looks very clean too!
I agree with everybody else too

Which does not at all awnser my question.
For example, what would happen if you would try to cut a corner, or jiggle it around a lot?.

Thanks for all the kind words! I'm very happy with the response to the puzzle, and may sell it. I also scrambled it and did a solve.
Here are a few more pics, and a video, which addresses the questions about the beads falling out.
