The Cube Design Thread

Hey can you give me a vid on your problems... I might be able to help through just typing here... My camera is still stuffed

My Rubiks cube speaker :D

It's going to be made of wood using a laser cutter and some hard work...

The speakers are on either side and the two outer slices can rotate a little...
 
CLEAR! Time to revive another old thread... I am coming to my finals at the end of this year and heading off to uni/college (hopefully to do engineering). I was just wondering if there was anyone out there "new" that could help me revive this project... (preferably engineering grads/ experienced cubers). Hopefully by the end of next year with some effort and time we can produced the first community designed cube (w/ suggestions from here of course). Feel free, even if you can't really help in terms of design/manufacture, to suggest REASONABLE features/improvements you would like to see in an elite 3x3 cube.

It probably need some sort of anchor if you do not have any "wings" on the edges.
 
To be honest I was actually thinking of something a little more revolutionary than simply basing it off existing cubes since I already have designed a cube like that (see previous posts). Any suggestions on where/how I could get this going? Ps I know most of you guys couldn't care less but I'm really enthusiastic about this and will definitely try to see this through. :)
 
My friend is currently designing a cube but he's having some trouble with dimensions. His core is all done but I can tell by looking at it that if it were to be put through a 3D printer the core wouldn't be able to handle the stresses of cubing. At lest speedcubing, it may be possible to use it as a novelty item still. He's looked on some websites and checked sources but he hasn't been able to find anything that gives him an idea for dimensions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lt. surge has been gone from speedsolving for awhile now. I hope he checks soon as school started. I think cores mostly depend on the material used. Most basic cores use something like the type A's core. Dayan's line of cubes retain the same core, but some people switch them out because of stripping, thus using the guo jia type A V core because it is made of a rubbery type of material. I don;'t remember what cube had this, but the core had a sphere for the base and had 6 protruding poles come out of it for the centre pieces. Good luck to your friend though
 
Hate to be bumping up an old thread again but I was just wondering if anybody had any success at designing and building their own speedcube lately...
