The Cube Design Thread

ok here's the thing

im not even supposed to be using this forum...:( let alone be sending crap out to random people (random to my parents),
my parents know i'm printing the cube but they don't know anything else (i.e im seeking help to develop it on the forums) They would go ape if they knew I was on here... so right there is a problem... I could send the designs to one of you to get it manufactured... but again I need to figure this stuff out :(

oh and inventor screwed up... I'll have extra pics of the mech up in another day or two
sorry for the inconvenience
 
!? You will make money on it! That's a good thing! Learning to become a business man! Tell your parents that!

I am going to print the design out on a 3d printer and find the faults and adapt my design.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but you people do realize cube manufacturers spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to design new cubes, only to have it not work out. I admire your enthusiasm, but your going to need a bit more than a friend with a 3D printer to create a working cube, let alone a viable speedcube.

Having said that, GOOD LUCK! :D
 
You still need a brand name, AND cube name, right? Hmmm...

Not an idea, but ideas for the idea, if you know what I'm saying. ;D
And so the idea (not the idea for the idea) is the brand name, and cube name. The ideas for the idea (cube name) is this:

1) How about a word that means something, but still sounds good, and not random, like guhong in Chinese means: Lone Goose, so do something like that, but Lone Goose (in English) wouldn't sound good, if you know what I mean. I hope that makes sence =D

2) I don't think you should call it Type-_ (Example: Type-A) something. That is too old, and no new cubes are being called that.

I know that's only 2 things, but that could help (atleast a little), so throw out ideas!


OTHER STUFF:
What are you going to do about stickers, and are you thinking about a logo sticker? You need a brand name, but you can still make a little logo, as long as it doesn't connect with the name.

Also...is there any printing process yet?

Let me get this straight. You can't even be on an internet forum, yet you think you'll be able to mass produce a puzzle?

I was thinking the same exact thing. I honestly do nott see this happening. I think it is great that you like to do this and I have followed this thread the entire time from your first post interested, but I don't believe you will get anything out of it besides a cool experience and a cube you designed. Sorry but that's my input, however depressing it seems to you.
 
... yeah i realise but I reckon I could send some of you guys the design... when it finished...I could go through somebody on the forums to get it produced if you get what I mean...

Still this is more a bit of fun than a serious full design
the whole point of this thread is for the community to help with designing cubes for the community by the community

Yes, i would probably like the design but only if I knew whether it was worth getting printed...

Patience... this will take a while :)
i just found out that the printing will happen all at once... so just one day...

Yaay! Except I want to know WHICH day that will be! I think in the meantime, you should get springs, and a core. I suggest getting them from an old Alpha cube you don't use anymore. I think you said you'd print the core, but I don't know how that will turn out, so you should get a core in case. Also, how are the edges and corners going to be put together? Have you designed it to stay together some how? Or is it molded into one piece?

And yes, there is no need to tell me that I ask too many questions.
 
unfortunately I only have 1 rather crappy storebought :( although I'm getting a zhanchi soon
ive only been cubing for 3 or so months so yeah...

I acutally appreciate all the questions you guys are asking because It shows me someone has an interest in what Im doing :)
