Idea for new type 3x3x3, what do I do now?

[GojiraFan13]

I have an idea for a new design for 3x3x3 and don't know where to go with it. Does anyone reading this know what I should do, or who to talk to about this. Am I supposed to find a plastics company, or toy company or what? Please help me with any info. Thank you.

Umm... could you explain what this idea is?

 

[GojiraFan13]

well it's about having "flared" corners. I'd have to draw what I mean exactly, but obviously I don't want someone else more knowledgeable to beat me to it.

Hmmmm... Try asking Haiyan or good cube modders.

AutoCAD maybe?

Find someone to help you AutoCAD it and see about getting a prototype 3Dprinted. Then see if it works well and if it does then ask haiyan or some chinese cube company about getting it produced.

Be carefully on the some chinese cube company. You should ask famous cube companies. Haiyan will probably be the best after you get the 3d prototype done.

Funny, I need to use AutoCAD later this semester for my Technical Drawing course to design and model a 'mechanical puzzle.' :rolleyes:

What about Google Sketch program? And where would I go to get a prototype made? I'd also like to have it produced in the US. Thanks to everyone for their valued input.

I just e-mailed Mr. Haiyan and will patiently await a response. Thanks again guys.

Your welcome.

What?? Why are you asking Hai-Yan? He's just a cuber.

 

[GojiraFan13]

Because someone here suggested it and I thought he developed a type of his own. If not it's okay, his site says you can contact him so I did.

no he didn't.

I suggest to contact a manufacturer instead of Haiyan.

 

[GojiraFan13]

Oh, sorry for my noob-stake then, would you happen to have a suggestion?

 

[iSpinz]

I would suggest going to PrintTo3D or shapeways and getting a prototype made, then contact a plastic making company about mass producing. I would only venture into this if you have enough money for it.($5,000-10,000)

If you want to have it mass produced in the US, then you will probably have to pay 10-20 times more than in China.

How much would it take to make a 3d prototype?

Maybe $50?
