Alright, gonna go to my library tomorrow and check out what I can print for cube parts. gonna probably start with 2x2 since its smaller and easier to measure without taking out all the extra pieces

I think that its cool but because of older hardware I don't think anyone would buy it

Alright so good news and bad news on the 3d printing process.
I can print pieces and other things for 10c per gram, but I need to get a waiver signed, and I don't really know anything about designing anything in any 3d printing program.

Alr, which size magnet should I use?
The striped areas are holes, so the lines in the core are just where the screws will go, and the ones on the bottom are the 2 magnet sizes I could use

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

5x2 magnets in the core and 2x4 magnets in the corners.

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

5x2 magnets in the core and 2x4 magnets in the corners.

sorry I forgot to mention, the only sizes I can get really easily are 6x2 and 3x2

if you search on Ebay there are many reputable sellers there with many diff sizes of disc magnets of various strengths (usu n35 to n52) for good prices...
It does take 3-5 weeks for the package to arrive from China but worth it
That's how I got 4×3mm n35s to put edge-repelling magnets im my Maglev WRM 2021, and 3×1mm n50s to stack on corner feet mags on RS3M Ball-core to give the core-corner more effect

Right on... but there is quite a wide selection out there on Ebay, and I've found several diff sizes/strengths of ring mags as well, tho they take more looking for, since they are usu part of listings for discs and you have to wade thru the dropdown menus to find them ha
...will have to check out Temu, hadn't heard of that before

Hey there! Interesting idea-

Blind practice cubes.

You could make these by buying cheap weilongs, and the also cheap moyu 'UT' cubes for the black parts.

So good news and bad news
I have a place to print prototypes and perfect the design
They can't let me print multiple of the finished product to sell because they are a non profit
the only other person I know of that would let me use his printer has a resin printer, idk how well that would work

Who says they know you are going to sell them, just say you want multiples for yourself or are making multiple changes and making developments. If they ask details say you're using different springs and lubes in them and you wanted to compare them. Even if you already told them you're going to sell them they will likely still believe you.

Do you happen to have a Makerspace building relatively close to you? If so then try using some of their Printers if they let you use them. If you don't know what a Makerspace is it's a building that's set up for Makers who need a little extra gear that they don't have/afford. More better info here about what a Makerspace is https://www.makerspaces.com/what-is-a-makerspace/
