2:52 That's some sick corner cutting right there

[@leo17921]

why is this so funny lmao

[@IamNOBODY026]

Lol

[@-ouv]

THANK YOU!!! I had a broken 3x3x3 and I was about to throw it out today, but I signed on today and I found your video. NOW I CAN USE THOSE PIECES!! THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@redkb]

@xmysticful Thanks for noticing. I fixed it.

[@redkb]

@MrBrightsidee69 The makers of Apoxie Sculpt ship to the UK. Check the description. You can use any material to fill as long as it dries hard enough to sand. Good luck!

[@redkb]

@daviddatal I had the same problem. I had to go and out and buy a lock nut. It has a plastic like material inside it so it won't unscrew and get loose. You can see the nut at 7:26 in this video.

[@sivad1025]

I was planning to make it out of cardboard since I don't have experience with refiguring cubes but after watching this I think I'll make out of a 10 cent cube. Thanks for the video!

[@RalphV]

I made one.. it barely turned, it never got stickers, yet i still sold it for $6 at school, which i find hilarious, since i made it from a 75c dollar store cube.

[@Tyminator502]

Trolololol

[@stop836]

Though you still had to use apoxie

[@romie.m]

Cheesy Cuber I agree 😂

[@RalphV]

Cheesy Cuber You dont

[@RalphV]

***** Maybe if it actually looked good, but im talking recycled stickers, cut marks, scratches, the lot.

[@BlockBuilder37]

This video convinced me to 3D print one...

[@BlockBuilder37]

And it works!

[@phoenix-gq9br]

Does it shape shift

[@itclientservices]

+Nikhil Goli yes

[@removed7125]

+BlockBuilder37 Same here!

[@removed7125]

+Nikhil Goli no

[@redkb]

@ Futuremarine223 It might. Does it dry super hard so that you can sand it? If so it would probably work. You'll have to paint it to make it look black.

[@redkb]

@NorcoRider1012 Try the description

[@redkb]

@Yoxii98 I used an old Rubik's Brand cube. It should work with both a DIY and Rubik's

[@redkb]

@xmaster360kickflip You can see it at 5:25. It's 3/8 of an inch or 9.53mm

[@YouCuberHD]

RedKB who are you reply to tho

[@redkb]

@philly424 Are you talking about when I extend the notch in the corner at 0:48? If so, you do need to fill it with something. If you don't fill the hollow portion it could break very easily. But you don't have to extend the notch, as it doesn't affect the mech, just how it looks.

[@redkb]

Thanks!

[@redkb]

@1c3f1r3741 The Yellow, Blue, and Green stickers are Rubik's Brand Replacement stickers I got at the world championships in 2003. They were handing them out. Red, Orange and White are from CubeSmith (dot) com

[@redkb]

The stuff is called apoxie sculpt. (Google it.) It is a two part mixture that once mixed you can mold like clay. It has a 2 hour working time. Then it takes 24 hours to fully dry. Once dry you can sand it to the shape you want.

[@D4rkSilhouette]

You are a master craftsman. I highly admire your work, keep it up! :)

[@redkb]

@Kabuthunk Wow your second one looks great! Good idea using a ring as a guide for the hooks.

[@redkb]

The hooks are pretty solid. The Apoxie Sculpt drys very hard and stiff. 7:07

[@redkb]

@McNibbler It's pretty important. People who haven't filled in the hollow portion of the edge end up breaking the hooks.

[@jonathanberendsen4292]

Really nice!, I attempted making one out of wood and with a lot of work I got it working. It is a little loose but fun to puzzle with.

[@redkb]

I have two Dogics. Both from Mefferts from a few years ago. One is a Dogic I (12 color) The other is a Dogic II (10 color). I like the 12 color one better because I can solve it. :)

[@MrQuestionMark246]

It's a cool addition to a collection. You can also make three from one cube and give the other two to friends that aren't very good at it. That's what I'm going to do.

[@redkb]

You could, I don't know if it will help much. At least on mine, I needed it tight so the corners wouldn't jiggle around.

[@andyhthedrummer]

thanks for the awesome tutorial i finished mine today its a great way to get rid of extra parts and get something cool out of them!

[@redkb]

Thanks! I've got more coming!

[@ScottDavidWarner]

couple 100k subs bro! congrats. awesome 1x2x3

[@redkb]

I think epoxy glue would be to rubbery. Apoxie Sculpt works really well.

[@awesomeps3gaminglord]

wholy cow your an artist literally those steps are amazing

[@sebthecuber5238]

+Jack Cuber Gamer were u being sarcastic, or serious

[@sebthecuber5238]

DBcuber ?

[@sudhashanmuganath5995]

great improvement dude.... 12.12 2015......u have 197,000 subscribers..... wbest of luck...... iam one of ur subscribers.......

[@redkb]

@omarmohali Maybe you should try making the 2x2x1. I have a tutorial, it's a lot easier also it's probably cheaper if you aren't using spare parts.

[@redkb]

@philly424 It won't affect anything, it just won't look very good either.

[@MilanRubiksCube97]

@CubernotfromCuba I had that problem too.It was so annoying,before I found out that you can glue on a tiny piece of plastic underneath the small rectangle,where the hole is.After the glue is dry,you just have to redrill the hole.Do that for both centres.Hope that helped. :D

[@redkb]

Yes. It's very similar to milliput.

[@redkb]

I used Apoxie Sculpt to fill and extend the pieces. Google it for more info.

[@JackLe1127]

I have an idea. how about putting a spring on the screw, it'll be better.

[@yorgle]

Would it be worth it to use a spring with the screw, to make it more flexy with regards to tension?

[@andygreeny11]

@MrBrightsidee69 there is a putty called milliput, i used that to make my own custom cube and i live in the UK, you can get it from most hobbycraft stores, you may need to buy black hobby spray paint as well

[@gigi1]

Is it necessary to use apoxy sculpt? can i get by without it?

[@I.ll_Think_About_My_Name_Later]

it is possible to make it without it but it will have a lot of gaps and holes in it

[@redkb]

It's called Apoxie Sculpt. It comes in different colors. I only have Black. I forgot where I got it. Just google it and compare prices.

[@redkb]

I'm not sure exactly what mighty putty is, but if it will dry hard enough so that you can sand it. Then it might work.

[@redkb]

@chainofazns Link to apoxie sculpt in the description. Then all you need is the nut, screw, and washers. Just get them at a hardware store. Good luck!

[@redkb]

At 8:00 you can get another good view. The hooks need to be rounded so they can spin. I'm not sure where these exact stickers came from, but I now buy all my stickers from cubesmith (dot) com

[@redkb]

I don't really know what epoxy putty is. But if it drys real hard, it will probably work.

[@dragonracer5]

Those drawings are very high quality!

[@MrQuestionMark246]

Yes, you do. You also extend the curved part of the edge to where is is cubic except for the remainder of the foot.

[@redkb]

Here's the deal. If you use profanity in a video response, don't expect much help from me. You have to make it yourself. If it's too hard, you should try making a 2x2x1 it's a lot easier. All the info you need is in the video. If you don't have Apoxie Sculpt, you will need a replacement. Milliput would be a good replacement. Google it for more info. (Like where to buy.) Good Luck!!!

[@redkb]

@K1W1nat0r Thanks!

[@CyanSoCalico]

The title says 1x2x3, but the video says 3x2x1....

[@tkristians123]

So? Where is the fucking difference?

[@CyanSoCalico]

tkristians123 Just saying!

[@irisflores4274]

+Dank Magician yes it does...

[@irisflores4274]

Because 1x2x3 is the same as saying 2x3which equals 6 and 3x2x1 is the same as saying 3x2 which also equals six... So yeah. +Dark Magician

[@irisflores4274]

This is because anything times 1 is itself so basically the one is irrelevant.

[@whatisthis2809]

I gotta say your a good drawer/ 3d drawer

[@phantokamistika2008]

is this hiow they make floppy cubes? if so, is it theoretically possible to make one of these from a floppy cube?

[@redkb]

@xcmcuber it's called a Dogic

[@redkb]

@justinschmueck Try the description ;)

[@redkb]

Not sure. I know there is another filler some people use. It's called Milliput. Try google to find a place to buy the stuff.

[@wosh2nd68]

That's some cutting edge technology right there

[@YOTUVEUNLLUTUBE]

oh, it seems so easy, but... you're a pro, tio! impresionante! 10+

[@redkb]

You are correct. You can make 3. That's assuming you make no mistakes! ;)

[@KillerPawn2]

@Chaosfelix1995 well the two 3x3 edge peices (with the hook) are up against each other and the hook twist around the hole in the 3x3 corners (1x2x3 centers) sorry i can't explain it very well, it's hard to explain in a comment, but if you follow the instructions just how he said, it should turn out correctly. have fun!

[@Marwin33333333333]

awesome tutorial. i think i try this. How much 1x2x3s can you make with one rubks cube (diy). i think 3 right?

[@redkb]

@2009DCD Thanks!

[@obsidiangameninja6620]

You are my favorite KZbinr

[@redkb]

Pause at 4:07 to see the screw. It looks like it's 3.57mm or 9/64th of an inch.

[@marklinton9236]

Anyone else watching this in 2017?

[@Jacob-mx6ie]

Extraordinary Chicken me

[@paolox000]

Hey! I've just finished my own 1x2x3 using your video! Gonna post a video response Soon. Thanks Kenneth ;D

[@Yoxii98]

It's great! But are we obliged to take the edges of a DIY or a Rubik's it can go?

[@traiphumi]

well done that is very good tuterial, very easy to understanding. thank you for very good video

[@redkb]

@shauntay00 Have you tried the description?

[@ParkourMaster924]

I really like your drawings and your hard work, I appreciate it. 👍👌👍👌👍👌👍

[@MilanRubiksCube97]

@blindbiker22 Yes,you just have to make the hooks skinnier,and drill 4 holes for each edge,rather than 2.

[@redkb]

I got mine online. I forget where. It's called Apoxie Sculpt. Try google.

[@redkb]

Cool! I wanna see it!

[@redkb]

This video is much older. At the time it was the longest. :)

[@DSCuber]

@redkb u can also use mighty putty. beware of the horrible stench. it smells like sulphur..

[@avikjain553]

Do you think you can make a 1x2x4 by using the same corner mech and a 1x2x2 as the edges instead of a 1x1x2?

[@MisterFish98]

Maybe, it might need some messing with

[@SnipeZuDown]

Hey redbk i'm currently making this and so far i've got 3/4 edge pieces complete and both middle pieces. But on the middle pieces i have not cut the slots for the edge hooks to go. I expect to have it complete by at least next weekend so expect a video response!

[@redkb]

Maybe you should try making a LEGO Cube. It's a bit easier.

[@mattboy1152]

With all the force you're using on making the hook it seems like it would just break. I could tell that even from the sketches before I saw the filing part.

[@mattboy1152]

But aside from that it would work, right? The Apoxy and the plastic used to make the cube pieces are a similar polymer right?

[@jaythekong]

nice vid man. good job. u should do a collection vid, the home made and the store bought.

[@jakecd10]

will you sell me a 1x2x3 or a 3x3x4 or both

[@redkb]

I've never tried melting plastic. I have a feeling though that it would be very difficult and probably dangerous! lol!

[@MilanRubiksCube97]

@TheBetterGamer I had the same problem.I improvised and now,once it's done,I'm very happy with it!

[@chainofazns]

@redkb thank you now all i need is to make my mom/dad get me some XD btw can i use a pocket knife to cut the bricks?

[@redkb]

@oOXIED8Oo It's a Dogic. Check out my puzzle collection video for more info.

[@TheQwampa]

At the end how did you get such a smooth surface? I mean you sanded down a lot of plastic from all sides. It should be very rough.

[@JBoogie300]

could you fill the hollow corners with epoxy glue??

[@JBoogie300]

is there anything else you can use besides apoxie sculpt?? would some kind of cement work??

[@Skyman2596]

I'g attempting to make one today. The only thing I could find lying around my house was modeling clay. Would this be a good replacement for Apoxie Sculpt?

[@BeauCars]

@redkb well, i'm pretty bummed about the results. I made 2 of them but they kept falling apart. Perhaps I should use a different resolution for the corner pieces and centers.

[@SamnissArandeen]

What about a 3x3x2? I'd love to build one of thems.

[@galenandreacchi3788]

could you use speckling material instead of apoxy sculp?

[@Depersona244]

doesn't apoxie smell terrible? also can I just buy it from Amazon or a store or do you recommend I get it from the site listed? what is the exact apoxie I should get because I see alot of different kinds.

[@MFRoosy16]

tell me about it.... hes a really good video guild. probably best on youtube.

[@jeffacake96]

thats a really good and helpful tutorial! ty, this has really helped me make mine!

[@redkb]

Good Luck! Can't wait to see it!

[@MFRoosy16]

im going to start building mine tomorrow can't wait.

[@Nobotica1]

im making mine rite now and its coming out really good!

[@MrPersonperson22]

is there caps on a regular rubiks brand cube and what can i subsitute for epoxy sculpt

[@koba101]

I actually made one of these about 5 years ago out of Lego. The nostalgia is real

[@redkb]

It worked for me. Why didn't it work for you?
