If all that is true, verdes may not be able to compete price-wise.

it's a new 4x4 designed by a taiwanese cuber, who claims that they're his own original design.

he said he's going to patent it soon

lol at the "4 spring" part

Beautiful, to me it looks like a V-cube design, I wonder what it is that makes it unique and a new design. Anyone? I guess it will have an asymmetric core like the eastheen, else it would misalign without the V cube clicking constructition

My best guess V-cube type design with a Eastheen type core, might be considered as different as the original V-cube , unique design?
Still very nice puzzle construction

It looks like it was 3D printed in SLS format rather than mass manufactured.

I don't think you can expect a mass produced version of this soon as they state: "Currently under way to find the patent, as well as partners" - Which makes me think they are searching for funds to produce it.

 

[ChrisBird]

I only see one problem with it that no one has pointed out, how will the core stay in alignment?

If all the sides are like the one cross section shown, how will the core stay in alignment?

 

[TomZ]

Glue a corner to the core and you've solved the problem.

"My best guess V-cube type design with a Eastheen type core, might be considered as different as the original V-cube , unique design?"
I think that would infringe not only the V-Cube patent but also EastSheen's patent.

Dear cubers

Thanks for visiting my blog and thanks for the discussion of my X-Cube 4. But I think there is some misunderstanding to explain.

I love V-Cubes , thats why I have a lot of them. I know that the V-6 has a major problem of its center layer ( Everyone know it! )
My research of X-Cube 4 is just a solution of the V6 problem. It can be used for all even number layer cubes(V6 V8 V10.....)

The images you see is just a prototype of my X-Cube with the center which I designed myself.
The structure of the V4 liked pieces is just for testing , not my "patent" for. But due to the commercial classified , I cannot post the images of the center piece detail of it . That's why it looks "a totally V4".

Don't worry , I am not trying to infringe V-patent nor East Sheen's. Even a cooperation with them is a good way to me , because I am just a cuber(but I don't know how to do it... lol).
Thanks for your remind, and also wish you will like the X-Cube series after produced.
Best wishes,

Great, so it is the core and centerpieces that is unique, sounds great, a cooperation with V-cube sounds like music in my ears
I hope it works out for you

I would love to see co-operation between you and Verdes, to see this commercially produced. It looks incredible in the video.

 

[LNZ]

Well, I have seen the Youtube video and it looks like a very good 4x4 cube. And I did not notice one lockup when using the r and l slices. I would actually like to buy this cube whenit comes out.

This is amazing. I'm really really looking forward to owning a 4x4x4 this good.
The world needs better 4x4x4s, and you have the power to give it to us!

i have been roaming in the ptt rubik's site for quite a while(before i came to this forum). i tried to join there, but i have no idea of how to use the ptt thingy. so i gave up and found/joined this forum. but i still sometimes look at the threads there. so i have been posting a lot of stuff here that i found, such as the 暴力調整法, fixing the loose eastsheens, etc.

I personally find you a great resource of cube information other than English speaking communities. Besides Asia has so much of a population, there is bound to be more news there.
