So fast post isn't it?

Thank you for post it here

It was admittedly disappointing to see how unnatural the turning seemed in the video. From the video, it seems like it wouldn't be good for speedcubing (although that might just be a characteristic of the video, not the cube).

But it's still amazing, and will be a true collector's item, whether it's good for speedcubing or not. I can't wait to find out how it works - the corners are mystifying to me.

An amazing achievement!

what do you mean? the cube doesn't seem to have floppy centers; and it's just a 3D printed prototype, the surface isn't as smooth as the mass produced cubes.

The cube was first time made. And the prototype material is awful for speedcubing. I can say that the corner design wont make it bad for speedcubing.
It need's more experiments to make it work better.
I will keep working on.

Thanks for helping me to explain.

I guess I'm still just mystified by the corners. I was wondering if the "catches" in the alg at the end of the video might have something to do with how they're done. If not, then clearly it can just be explained by it being a prototype, and maybe it can be a good speedcube. Sorry if you think I'm being unfair - I'm just puzzled by the corners, and it's perhaps affecting my judgment.

Sounds friggin' awesome. Looks like it turns really well.

That's ok. Your suggestion reminds me to make it a better cube.

AHAHAHahahaha, It's funny how the camera was going to the 7x7 but went back to the 6x6! xD xD

Just finished the video, amazing!
Simply amazing!

 

[robindeun]

dude...AMAZING

 

[Jani]

verdes and tony fisher are now thinking... very hard...

 

[rahulkadukar]

Cubic 7x7x7 and that too with same size for all pieces HOW

Okay, so I was so bugged by how those corners could possibly work that I went over to TwistyPuzzles (which I rarely ever read) and looked for it. There they pointed out what I hadn't thought of - xb27's initial announcement that he would reveal whether it was true or not in 10 days came 10 days before April 1st. So now I must admit that I'm thinking it's more likely this is a faked video than that it is real.

Their idea over there about the corner being held by string or elastic is interesting, though. Perhaps it's good enough to make a video like this?

Sorry if I'm wrong, but it just seems too coincidental that the reveal was supposed to come April 1st.

But this was posted on March 21st. 10 days later would have been the 31st?

Video looks nice, I do hope that it's real. That would be fantastic.

 

[Zarxrax]

Definitely looks real to me.

When I'm logged in, it says it was posted 5 days ago at 12:18 PM. That would be 4 days ago at 12:18 AM in China. Meaning he posted this right after midnight on March 22nd, the day that was 10 days before April 1st. Which makes it even more suspicious - the timing was perfect, as if he was waiting for the time to be right before he posted it. (This was also pointed out over at TwistyPuzzles; it's not an original idea by me.)

I agree - it does look real, and it does look nice. I also hope it's real. But the fact that xb27 hasn't explicitly said it's real makes me really suspicious. This feels like an even better hoax than Tony Fisher's 9x9x9. Either way, it's still impressive. But it would be much more impressive if it were actually real.
