[@_kijetesantakalu]

So in theory you could make a giant 1x2x2 with normal 2x2x2s

[@brandonh4098]

No with tiny 2x2s

[@_kijetesantakalu]

Are you telling me you just had a plastic baggy sitting around? Likely story.

@@_Fuscous what do you even mean? Like, in what context does it not sound like a likely story? I'm assuming you're being sarcastic

@@jamesishere98765 The joke was that it was the easiest item to find out of the selection.

[@accommodus3070]

it's cool that you made a great quality hand made cube

[@alexwalsh1067]

You can make a 3x3x5 with a bunch of mini 2x2s by using that strategy! And a 3x3, 4x4, 2x2, 5x5, and the list goes on!

[@aikanaka]

Me: Cool! Comments: KRAGLE

[@openeyedvex]

Can you make it with 3x3 keychains?

[@BebBetch]

yeah it will probably just be a little bit bigger

[@BebBetch]

and you will need less of them

[@hunterdenbesten4937]

This is my favorite video you put on KZbin

[@jossc8280]

That's actually really neat. You could effectively accomplish the same thing by putting little pieces of tape on a 2x2x2, but yours looks much nicer!

[@iandowning368]

If you don't have the goo gone nail polish remover works just as good.

[@MentosCubing]

+Ian Downing No, it works just as WELL. It's an adverb.

+Mentos Cubing Nobody really cares about grammar on the internet

[@Buttermommy]

+Mentos Cubing No one cares stop trying to sound smart by correcting people, idiot.

[@Tootus69]

ACTUALLY nail polish remover has a chemical in it called acetone and that chemical can melt through plastic which is what the 2x2s are made out of

If I make it, im gonna leave the crosses under he stickers because: 1. Its easier 2. Less time 3. Costs less 4. Then, people will believe me when i tell them i made it because if i'd bought it, there wouldnt be crosses on it

[@bananenfriet3977]

I have never built a 3-3-1 or a 3-2-1business what I really wanted is 2-2-1 and this is amazing how easy it is to make it this way.

[@AllisonKonrad]

can you make a 1 by 1 by 1 cube

[@VanDaManGaming]

impossible...

[@captainawesome8999]

a 1x1 is just 1 cubie so its not imposible its just useless

[@LayJD_]

That is so easy!

[@charlieball231]

awesome

[@wtcubes6990]

I might make this sometime because it looks like a fun puzzle and I want to get into modding!

[@debbiernoll]

if you twisted the corners right on the core cube before you super glued it you could still take it apart when its done i havent made one yet but when i do im going to try to do that when i do make one

I just can't get over the fact that this is still called "cube" xD

More optional items than required ones. xD

It looks so cool on fast forward,also i cant stop watching your videos!!!!!! Good job

[@YouCubeParadigm]

Hey RedKB! I just made my very own 1x2x2 type twisty puzzle, but it's got a little twist of its own (it can get PARITY!). It's super simple to make and it doesn't require any sculpting, glueing or heavy resources. The puzzle also has an above average turning quality. I really hope my cube catches on. I'm really proud of it and it's 100% original (and to my knowledge, unique). It has parts of the core exposed, so it can easily be lubed even after the puzzle is assembled. It can also be disassembeled! A tutorial video can be found on my channel! :) I'm thinking of actually sending you the puzzle with hopes that you can review it or make a use of it. I'm just very proud of it

[@YouCubeParadigm]

Ohh and I am soooo sorry for stealing your thumbnail layout. I figured it would get peoples attention if the thumbnail was familiar, yet somehow different. Hope that's cool. If not I'll obviously change it

[@gilbertoo8663]

U should mass produce and sell these

phhhhh T3T I can solve that three weeks later : 😐🔫

would it work with a 2.4x2.4x2.4 rubiks cube? pls reply soon

No, not LOL it's just L.

[@DarkStarRevolution]

Hey Kenneth ! I was going to build one of these out of the normal sized 2x2's.

[@Guitarbuddy00]

1. Do the mini 2x2s have to be good quality rubiks brand ones or do cheap knockoff ones work too? 2. Is there any way to dismantle the puzzle without having to take apart many little 2x2 pieces to get to the core?

[@youcube7426]

why are you all obsesed with the craggle from the lego movie?

[@KodyTD]

[@ethanmoreno9862]

Good job I love making these cube it's not a lot of money either and again very good job

[@hiya5376]

thanx this wil help with my my collection and how resent is this vid

[@sthadkam]

It looks really cool

[@VestingSphinx]

are the mini cubes gonna be in stock any time soon???

[@pleasantvegetable]

VestingSphinx I had the same question, i was going to use them to make a 2x2 slim using this method

[@TulkinRB]

you can assemble the core so the corners that are connected will pop to the same side, so you can lube it again

[@sscordo25]

would it work if you made it out of regular sized 2x2s. then it would be a giant 2x2x1. maybe you can try it.

[@QBing]

Thanks. I tried it and it turned out pretty well

[@jdrailfan391]

Whenever I want ASMR, I come watch this video!

[@EmhyrSubramanian]

What if you just used a bunch of Apoxie Sculpt and extended a normal 2x2?

[@cjbcjbcjbcjbcjb6083]

In theory any size works

[@cubeography]

that would be a waste of apoxie though

[@thilk]

will it work with some mini eastsheen 2x2x2 keyrings?

[@SamnissArandeen]

Thinking of building this for a baby cousin that just turned one a couple of months ago. Would this be a good introduction to the world of Rubik?

[@YouCubeParadigm]

RedKB, is it absolutely neccesary to sand down each side? will the cubes stick together with glue even if you don't sand them down? and If I have to sand them down, would it be a good idea to perhaps cover up the edges of each piece (the areas that will be visible after stickering it. This beeing the gaps between the stickers) with some normal tape so that only the middle will be sanded, and the visible parts (which wont have anything glued to them anyway) won't look damaged at all? Also, could you make a tutorial on how to use apoxie sculpt? and also perhaps add some information on what type of sculpt to get and how to get the perfect color for your cube? Thanks! :)

[@imhere4gold]

kenneth, can i put a piece of plastic on the peices to remove the lines?

[@jmaguiar925]

Could you try to make a wooden 3×3 cube?

do i have to use eastsheens or can i make a jumbo one with rubiks?
