Maglev Tech in 4x4

[randomness...]

Are there any 4x4 cubes that are maglev? i was just reading NebraskanSpeedsolvers MAGEvo and this idea struck me.
(sorry if i spelled the name wrong)

Please make your titles more clear*

I don't think such a product exists. Why don't you try upgrade it to maglev yourself?

*EDIT: All right now.

this guy LAI S CUBES does a lot of interesting designs and builds of cubes. It's not a joke, Garf. This guy actually designed and made this cube XD

At a guess, since it is more difficult to make a good even-layered cube (4×4, 6×6, etc), it is likely that big cube manufacturers would have to re-design and re-engineer their basic processes to add in the new data for what magnets at what size and at what strength in order to mass-manufacture such a cube.
It's fair to point out that the screw is also a factor since the top head of the screw has to be big enough to keep the top ring magnet on there ha

If you try this mod for yourself, you might consider reaching out to Lai S Cubes to ask him what size and strength ring magnets he used for the cube in the video He'll probably tell you, he's a nice guy
And if you do work it out, let us know!

Where did you buy it? The MP usually retails for about 23

Also, there is a place... far, far, away... TEMU!
Tbh that's where I got my maglev rings and I only paid 9 bucks for 60 rings (enough for 5 cubes), and as long as the measurements check out you should be good.

Wow, I didn't expect the shipping to be that much honestly. Shipping for me is usually like $4, and I live in the Midwest (if you couldn't tell...)

i paid my friend more too because he bought it :/

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Did you pay him to buy it, or am I missing something here lol?
