Nebraskan Speedsolver's Custom Cubes and Puzzles | Interesting Puzzle Mod designed by 1x1 wr holder..

Well, *sigh*, lousy news everyone...
TC said that even though I modified the cube, which they thought was impressive btw, they believe that the price point is too high and I would struggle to sell it alongside other flagship cubes. They said that they could help me try to start selling it independently, and I will definitely try to make my own cube "store", but at this point in time nothing is official. If I make a store, I will quite possibly make more than one version of the MAGevo, and I will make mods of other cubes too. Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it.

Aw man, I was hoping you would take off with your project. I guess that the MGC Evo was a bit of a niche cube in the first place, even if it was pretty good, so it would be a bit hard to sell them. Sad, but I kind of understand it from a sales point.

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Yea, same here.

I'm gonna start talking to my parents about making a custom website for these custom cubes. (cue name ideas)
When I start its $3, 3 months free and then $7 a month, which is roughly $23 less than Wix

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

If you want access to see the rough draft for the site, send me an email address and I will share it through google drive (its a google site)

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

I would love to see it soon! My email address is the one on my recommendation list (as I don't think the SSF admins would let me post it)

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I don't see one on the sheet
You could prob DM it to me

Sounds like a fantastic summer project! If this thing does make it off the landing pad, try to make a core magnetized qiyi ms (sort of my dream cube). Good luck with this and keep us updated. What are you going to name the store?

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Honestly just gonna call it "Nebraskan Speedsolver's Custom Cubes and Puzzles" for now. If you have a suggestion let me know!

If you're serious about starting a website for this, reserve a domain and keep it running. Don't use a google site as your main website, since most people won't take it seriously. As far as payment, you could either have it built in-site (like SCS and lots of other stores), or just have an email of where to send payment to. As a new seller, you will do better if you have it built-in, but I don't know how to do that.

The site I was going to make gives you a free domain and has built in payment

this reminds me of when @camcuber made camcuber zhanchis before setting up SCS. When most people say custom puzzles they mean like handmade or 3d printed custom puzzles. I'm not sure you can do it profitably like TC or SCS can.

yea, but I don't need a ton of profit. I just want the fun of doing it. next mod is probably gonna be magnetic mod on either 2x2 or 4x4

How about magnetising the FTO, Curvy Copter or Kilominx?

don't know anything abt any of those puzzles haha. thought abt making more cubes of different orders with mag cores or something

You would definitely make sales of you sell magnetic qiyi kilominxes

yea it would take work to figure out magnet placement but it should be alright. I will make a few sales of MAGevo first

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

Could I give some pointers on your website?

 

[Sion]

I'd love to see you learn design and 3d printing so you could make competitive 3d printed puzzles.

Note: This is all constructive. None of this is to make you feel bad, and nothing on your website is bad. Just some feedback.
1. I like the basic layout, but I do think that there could be a bit more cohesiveness to it.
2. It would be good to sell kits for people who want to do the core conversion to their own MGC Evo themselves.
3. Maybe give a rep-sheet as to what you've done before, like a showroom of sorts.
4. Add a description of how each mod is done, like what core you took from which cube, how it affects the final product, etc.
