I mean with out inhabiting the center space.

Such mechanisms do exist, such as oskar's treasure cube. The treasure cube, however, has the added functionality of having one face open up for something inside.

I do recall some video of a rail cube, which had no core whatsoever without the treasure chest feature, but it looked pretty awful performance wise.

Hmm... Couldn't seem to find it, but that's just what I need. I can just take out the M-slice and it'll turn into a cool double-floppy thing. I guess what I can do is just do the two centers on the void cube doing the parts of the treasure mod that don't have the detachable face and take out the M-slice edges.

Ooh, here's an idea: What if opposite screws on a cube were somehow controlled together. What I mean is, say you screw white, yellow would tighten along with it. I think this wouldn't be too hard, as opposite screws are perfectly parrellel to each other and are perfect aligned. There are kinks to work out (how would you unscrew one too set it up, ect.) but I just want to throw this idea out there before I forget.

Hello designers!

I just wanted to check in on the speedsolving thread to see what you were all up to

Can anyone link me a GAN Tool model?

If you go on onshape, go onto the public document search and look up "Speedcube Base Design", you will find two simple files that contain a lot of the basic piece structure for speedcubes.


They do the bulk of the basic structure work for you and allow you to do whatever you please to them.

Design one is flat, Design two is skirted.
