The Cube Design Thread

Looking forward to your evaluation of your prototype.

But I still want to know the prototyping process and material you're using.
"Resin" won't do ;-)

V-flash, FDM, SLA, SLS, etc in what material type
 
ill ask him when I see him
sorry I couldn't elaborate, It feels a like sort of smooth plastic anyway, just the kind you get in a regular cube (abs though im not saying it is that). Its performance on the otherhand is totaly unknown although I saw a model car with moving parts made of the resin. Each part was rubbing against each other (pistons etc), with little difficulty.
 
you're so lucky you get comps in your area... Ive got nothing... never seen a DIY in my life except for the Internet... :(
I'm seeing the guy in the afternoon (3 hours time about)...

Oh right... different time zones.
Right now it's almost 9 PM =P
But yaaay! You'd better have info up as soon as you get it! I will be refreshing this page at midnight (3 hours from now, for me)!
Although it may take a little bit to actually get it, assemble it, etc. Will you have real pics up, or not, since you're not supposed to be on the forums?

Don't get too excited... hes only printing one of each piece for the prototype
when its refined then I'll be able to print everything

Sorry... you got me confused. How does it work, exactly? You are making one of each piece, then copying those pieces again to make the protoype? I just don't understand what the difference is from copying the pieces from printing them from the 3d program.

I believe what ltsurge means is that his friend is only printing 1 piece of each part (corner, edge, etc.), not a whole prototype-d cube. Once ltsurge refines the pieces, he'll have the entire cube printed.
 
Alrgiht so here's how it works. I give him the designs on inventor. He converts the file to something the printer reads. He puts the file onto the printer and the printer prints (:)). So far I've given him all the prototype pieces (files). He is only printing one of each of the files so that we can see how it ends up.
Does that answer your question?
EDIT
Ninja'd
besides does anybody know whats happening to my zhanchi... I've been waiting patiently but the patience is running out :(

When did you order it? Remember...

A reminder, Lubix is run by 2, count them... 2 people. Now, consider that the cubes we send out, are not simply repackaging cubes, and that we hand modify each one to perfection, what you get in the mail as a Ultimate GuHong, ZhanChi, LunHui, Fusion, takes us quite a bit of time to prepare. For example, if you purchased one of each of our cubes... (4 cubes) we now need to work 2 hours getting them ready. About 30 minutes per cube on average. This is just the modification of the cubes. Printing, packaging, and heading to the post office for shipping all takes time as well. (about 3 hours a day)

and...

We have gotten behind on orders, but ask all of you to get behind us! As of this date, we are building cubes and orders for 7/13 & 7/14. So as you can see, we are about 6 days behind. Our strategy to catch up, is to do about 2 days worth of orders each day until we are back to no delays.

Also, he ships from the US to Australia, so it may take a while.
 
I know, I was just expecting it sooner... it was posted within a week but for the rest of the month it never came... I guess it takes a while to get to the middle of nowhere
