Heres a tip to improve: instead of a 1x2 and a 1x1 tile in the corner piece, you can use a L piece instead. I know its not much, but it could still bring it closer towards perfection. I am definetly supporting you in this!

[@fortnitesexman]

1X1 plate i'm guessing? tiles don't have studs

[@tymtrap7508]

@@fortnitesexman he does mean a tile

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

@@tymtrap7508 No he doesn’t. He’s referring to the black layer of the corners: PuzzLEGO used a 1x2 plate and a 1x1 plate for the square corners, when he could have used a 2x2 corner plate. LEGO naming protocol is currently as follows… Tile: 1/3-height piece, with a smooth top face (no studs) Plate: 1/3-height piece, with studs on top face Brick: Normal-height piece or more (for example, the 1x2x2 brick, which is double-height). A minifigure with no hat/hair piece is exactly 5 bricks (or 15 plates) tall.

@BrickBoi Flynn SAMEEE

[@TheSnow_Golem]

I built this cube myself at home, and here's a suggestion that makes it more stable: replace the 2 Technic pins 3/4 on the yellow and white faces with studs with holes. makes it a lot more usable. Edit: Also, replace the vent pieces with the 1x2 flat oval piece, to reduce catching when you turn.

[@puzzLEGO]

dude thats so cool that you still found improvements. If you can manage to make the cube stable, that would be genuinely impressive

[@TheSnow_Golem]

@@puzzLEGO There is one last problem: The pieces push each other apart as you use the cube. So even if you get it stable, it will de-stabalize itself over time. The current design is probably the best that there will ever be. Unless someone re-works the whole mechanism. Maybe a ball core instead?

[@puzzLEGO]

Ball core would make a 2x2 viable. Actually I was also thinking of a 3x3 but modified and made more stable for a 2x2. Idk tho I don’t think I’m going to keep working on this Rubik’s project

[@haph2087]

@@CrawliestCotter Agreed. The “just take the stickers off” is really bad. Not only does it damage the stickers, and adhesives are a pain to work with, but you literally have to move more than twice as many stickers around than if you swapped the pieces. If you can’t solve the cube, don’t swap stickers, just take it apart and reassemble it, it’s better in every way.

[@Sick-cada]

[@bimbelimbim4998]

Ive come up with a big improvement for the corners. Take a 1 x 1 Brick with studs on all sides to fix the triangles. Then stick inverted 1 x 1 cones with bar into the remaining 2 sidestuds. The Cones will connect to the surface 2 x 2 round plates, improving stability bigtime, while also giving you the crucial rounded edges, that are so nessesary for smooth turing. This construction makes the corners very stable.

[@rosifant312]

Realy good Idea.

[@puzzLEGO]

isn't there only room for 1 brick width? those cones look like 1 brick height (1 brick width + 1x2 plate height) besides wouldn't you only be able to connect 1 since the bar part would go too far, meaning others wouldnt be able to stick in all the way? as well, what would you stick on the bottom of the brick with studs on all sides, since there's one side with an opening? just wondering

[@sliceofpudding]

Technically, “illegal” LEGO building techniques are only arrangements that put undue stress or wear on lego parts. These are totally legal, as you’re not bending the pieces themselves to get them to fit together. It’s actually quite common for LEGO sets to have pieces that slide or rub against each other, but are otherwise completely unremovable without disassembly, just like the cube is doing.
