Cubicle Labs Premium Cubes

Hmmm, technically speaking, multiple orders would be multiple entries.
Hypothetically, if someone made several several small orders instead of one big order...

I guess I get two entries then, because I just impulse bought something that was on sale (MoYu Magnetic Pyraminx, even though I suck at pyraminx). RIP my wallet.

We quickly realised that this could be abused, so it has been changed.
For the sake of fairness and equality, it is one entry per customer.

Not to mention that it would make shipping far worse, and end up costing you guys more money

That makes far more sense. Hopefully I win!

Today, I made a magnetic megaminix.
Since there are 10 magnets pulling instead of 8 (in a 3x3), I used a different grade than what I'd use in 3x3 cubes.

The sad part is, I have no idea what megaminixes are supposed to turn like.

I don't know if I made a good one or not.

Here's what else has to be magnetized:
A 2x2.
A 4x4.
A clock.
A magic.
A blindfold.
A magnet.
Go.

something I've noticed is that I've told people about this and everyone think's it's cheating or something lol

Don't you have another megaminx of the same type around or someone good at mega?

 

[4Chan]

Hahaha, I'll figure that out soon!

How about Kilominx?

 

[AlexMaass]

How about Kilominx?

not possible with SS at least, unless you drill 3 tiny holes for each corner and put a magnet there

 

[4Chan]

The Kilominix corner actually totally works, but the internal edges need to be drilled out.

I could do it, but I just don't feel like drilling that many holes.

What we're (Highly) considering doing through the Cubicle Labs line is allowing full custom orders. If someone wants a certain puzzle magnetized, tensioned, and stickered, we can negotiate price and do it for them.

I've spent the past month playing with magnets, so I'm getting pretty good at estimating what magnets to use, where to place them, and how to place them, and I want to offer more options to people. We can even have selective magnetic strengths and tactility. (The radius affects how many degrees the puzzle has feedback)

This also opens up possibilities such as FangYuan, Gans Air, etc etc.
Even stupid silly things like 7x7, 1x1, and non-cubics.

This means that Kilominix and Z-Man Galaxy Megaminix are totally on the table. (But please don't order too many, it takes SO LONG OH MY GOD)

Optimistically speaking, this could be offered within a few weeks even.

Do u think u will ever sell magnet sets (sets of x number of magnets + glue)?

Hey I noticed that based off the reviews, the M slices don't turn as well as the outer layers due to the extra resistance of two magnets. Would putting weaker magnets inside the edges help this?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, just a thought I had. Thanks

I'm wondering about this issue too

The M slices do take some getting used to. For me, it took around 2k solves before I could fluently use M slice algorithms.

We're looking into ways of improving on this, but topologically speaking, it's not easily solved, since it's very difficult to provide tactility without affecting slices. All of the ways of adding magnets such as edge/center, corner/edge, edge/core will all have this difference in turning when slices are used.

Strangely, for me, it felt like the M slices were paradoxically too fast!

We've also tested that combination of weaker magnets in the edges for different purposes, and unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem. The physics behind the magnets explain that the pull is not proportional to the magnet strength or size. So, a weak magnet in an edge with a strong magnet in the corner will pull on eachother equally.

 

[Sion]

maybe use more gentle magnets on the edges?

 

[4Chan]

The Weilong GTS was the first cube to use "modular tensions" in their springs, with one light, and one heavy part. However, due to basic physics and Hooke's law, springs will always apply linear force, and the tensions are not truly modular.

However, basic physics also tells us that unlike the linear force of springs, magnets are inversely squared proportional to distance.

This means when you're turning accurately, the tension will be lower, so the cube is FASTER, but when you start to mess up a turn and flex the cube, the tension is higher, so the cube is MORE STABLE.

Downside? It's heavy.
I'm working on making it better for you, so we can have BETTER CUBES WOW

What a time to be alive.

Science for the win.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

cool but it will probably be $150(,000,000).

I have a feeling that some people might order the Kilominx for fun, although I doubt it, it would be pretty pricey because it would take forever to do.
