Cubic 7x7x7 MassProducts soon...

[Felix1996]

i think a cubic 7x7 is just a pillowed one and the edges and corners are "extendend", so that it becomes cubic..

i really want a cubic 7x7! i hate the pillowed shape of my v-cube -.-

Muhahaha, I already have one since 2 years!

Spoiler

Of course it was a custom puzzle, made by Tony Fisher. I just had the honour to solve it once.

Looks like it turned quite nice too

Actually, Tony's looks kinda delicate from the video. I hope the mass-produced one will be as nice as the SS 8x8 and the V-Cube 7

What looked delicate? What they were like combined... MWAHAHA

The cube looks delicate from the way Erik was turning it - it seemed to lock up on itself a lot and he looked like he was trying not to turn it too fast or cut corners. It actually reminded me a bit of how Eastsheen solves look. Maybe this was because it was a one-off design and he was being careful - I dunno.

Also, wait, 8.5 cm? That seems kinda big, pretty much as big as the 8x8. I think I might prefer something smaller :| (At least if I'm trying to do actual speedsolves. I guess I'd prefer something closer to 7cm, like the SS 6x6.)

The 8x8 basically the same size of a 7x7 if you extend it out, which means they are probably using the v7 layer size, but I do agree that a little smaller would be nicer.

The 8x8 is bigger then then V 7 and from the picture the SS 7 looks about a cubie smaller.

It was, but hey that's what you get with casted pieces. Never a match for machine-produced cubes of course. At the time it was amazing! (still is since he did it by-hand)

Who made the cube? The same person as the x cube 4 or the person that made the pillowed x cube 7?

 

[mitch1234]

It kind of looks like a Shengshou brand cube, I wonder what the turning is like. I hope to get this some time.

 

[thackernerd]

I wish I had more money than I do right now.

 

[iEnjoyCubing]

Looks like a Shengshou, I'm excited Will finally have something to replace my terrible YJ...

 

[bluecloe45]

that thing doesnt look right, too blocky

 

[HiWhatIsMyName]

it's a shengshou... i know chinese and they make cubes pretty fast... the 6x6, the 8x8, why not the 7x7?

 

[AvGalen]

I tell you what I want, what I really really want

Sheng-a-shou, ah.

 

[ThomasJE]

This could be nice... Shengshou 7x7 vs X-Cube 7. I don't solve 7x7's (not even a 4x4 yet), but still, it's a rivalry that could help both companies. And, if the pillowed V7 becomes illegal in competitions, they may be forced to make a cubic 7x7. And then, from nowhere, we have three companies making cubic 7x7's.

 

[HiWhatIsMyName]

I hate V-cubes. I only buy knockoffs and this one i may get.

This is exciting. The way the edges of the cubies are curved is closely related to many of the SS puzzles. Hopefully this is in fact SS. They have a strong momentum going with the successful release of the 6x6 and 8x8... it would only make sense. The SS 6x6 to me was indeed very much welcomed cube. No more unreliable pin mods! A cubic 7x7 would be welcomed in similar fashion. No more awkward pillowed garbage! Although, half of the problem with the 7x7 is sheer size. 8.5 seems kinda reasonable, but yes, preferrably smaller =(
