Turning a Dichroic Cube into a Sphere

[@BensWorx]

Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx

[@Julia68yt]

Any chance to get hold of these in Europe?😁

[@VantenPlayz]

reminds me of the GameCube logo when you would turn it on

[@victoriaeads6126]

Dichroic film can be purchased by itself...imagine the possibilities!

[@FusionDeveloper]

You can buy ones that were made with flaws, such as misaligned, for cheaper. That's what I did.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

So incredibly beautiful!!!!!!! :DDDDDDD 🌐✨

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

The sphere definitely changed the refraction, but I think it made it even cooler! I could stare at that all day!!

[@connorgraham7738]

It was cooler before

[@brynion2117]

@@caittails edgelord has really lost its meaning, its just an opinion that isnt even just there to seem cool

@@connorgraham7738I appreciate your differing opinion (even if one of the commenters thinks you’re being an edgeloard for it) different opinions is what we need, so screw them

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

@connorgraham7738 Too bad! He's making a bigger one next! >:D 🔥

[@tredici72]

That turned out so great that it warrants a larger version, beautiful work Ben 👍

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@justinalias2279]

That turned out looking almost 4 dimensional. So incredible

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Yes! Big thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@laserfloyd]

Please do a large one. The sphere projects are really awesome. The small one looks cool but a big one would probably be insane. I'd also mount it above light and position it so that it's splitting the beams for an extra cool end-of-video shot. Cheers!

[@MadScientist267]

Reminds me of crystals. The camera simply can't quite capture everything there is to see. I'd love to see one of these up close in the sphere.

[@auramaclay2939]

I personally don’t have any light sensitivity but I think it was extremely thoughtful to throw in that disclaimer. Even though I personally don’t think the flashes were too strong. Very nice of you and very neat project and concept!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou!

[@kinashy8863]

Same, i don't have it but i think it was thoughtful

[@Tazerboy_10]

Yeah, thanks for the heads up!

[@WiBla]

It's only missing an auditory cue as to when it is safe to look at the screen again, or a timestamp to skip to.

[@lechatbotte.]

Only Ben could think up these amazing projects wow. It’s refracting the light just a bit but it’s amazing.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@E.F.-777-1]

The soothing soft bluegrass music is the icing on the cake. Beautiful.

[@markwhite6018]

I'm not sure what it is but something about this one is mesmerizing. I enjoyed the way it appeared to be lighting up when it was first turning on the lathe. Awesome job 👍

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mark 😊 yeah it was cool

[@brunomarzano9859]

Great job, I can appreciate the effort it takes to get a cast looking that good. One thing I'd like to mention is that if you can find an epoxy with the same refractive index as the glass of the cube, the sides will disappear, and all you will see is the coatings floating in the middle of the ball

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

Thank you for the flashing light warning. It's not the sort of stimulus that I'm sensitive to, but it's always better to be safe than sorry! 🤗 I think there is some effect, but I'd love to see the results with the bigger cube too!

[@louisgridleywu7075]

It looks really interesting, it looks like a faint cube for a split second as it spins then changes shape completely. Very cool project 😲👍

[@paisleykitty7]

Wow! Yes, that NEEDS to be done bigger! That turned out amazing!

[@bettypaquette1904]

Turned out beautifully. Will be interesting to see you make the bigger one. Fantastic as usual. :)

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@Chaos_Senpai]

​@@BensWorxI would like to see the effect of lots of the little ones stuck together (may be cheaper than buying a big one)

[@coletteb.8889]

@@BensWorx if you want to find a big one without paying for one you might be able to salvage one from a projector in a tech dump. Not sure if they're called tech dumps in Australia, but they're basically trash cans that are specific to electronics so people can see if there are any salvageable parts in them. Most electronics stores have at least one. One year my college was getting rid of some of the older overhead projectors and these cubes are what make all the colors appear in the projection, so she was able to get a couple cubes for free. She put one on top of her lamp which made these beautiful colors all over her room depending on which side was on the bottom at the time. Maybe your big sphere could be part of your lamp series and you can shine rainbows across your shop with it. Only thing bad about getting them this way is you won't know when any will pop up, so you have to just make it a habit of stopping by to check just like with thrifting. If you want a more immediate result you can probably just buy a cheaper used projector off ebay and take the cube out of that.

[@lynniev]

Wow, this was stunning. Absolutely stunning. I say it on almost every video but you are seriously the best one out there for getting your resin crystal clear. Nice job, Ben!

[@antonenberg]

Looks amazing! Almost like a dodekahedron 😍🤩

[@FormaldeHyena]

idk why but the way you explain everything and the voice you speak with just puts me at ease you, sir, have the voice of a genuine friend

[@LucillenRory]

It refracts the light so much better in the sphere! Beautiful

[@Mr-G131]

looks amazing. if you revisit this consider getting closer to filling the sphere with the cube like you did with the rubix cube. I think the added ratio away from the surface of the sphere had an impact on the overall look.

[@lauren32313]

I love seeing the glowing inside when it's spinning and it's not even polished yet! Gorgeous little ball!

[@ladyphoenix1073]

Absolutely beautiful! I think making it a sphere enhanced the colors made it bigger brighter.

[@kennyboswell5967]

Very cool! I loved how it looked like it was glowing when you were spinning it.

[@geoffwarnes9327]

Wow how cool is the refractive light colors 👍 love it ❤

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@maris5951]

It's beautiful and I dont blame you for wanting a bigger one! I would want one too!

[@dallaswoiken7533]

THAT is absolutely wicked Ben

[@peggycuevas159]

Hi Ben, I myself think this is ONE of the most beautiful pieces of art that you have made, I absolutely love it, u need to make more so we can purchase them, can't wait to see the big one, once again, congrats, it's absolutely beautiful

[@Gkitchens1]

This is absolutely one of the coolest resin products I've ever seen.

[@freethebirds3578]

It has a very sci-fi look to it in the end. Very beautiful.

[@strangereverend8528]

That turned out very nice. Would look great near a window with sun shining through as day goes by

[@suep9445]

You'll get nice rainbows on the wall, but be careful - I've burned a hole in my plants and then into the wall with a prism hanging in the window.

[@koleoidea]

That turned out awesome! I want to see what it would look like with the sphere cut from the cube so that the nanocoatings go right to the surface of the sphere. Anyhow, great work!

[@AlexaFaie]

Same. That's kinda what I was hoping this would be

[@Hythyr]

Really cool!! I love the subtlety and then the bursts of color!

[@CynthiaPrice79]

This is gorgeous! I want one! I wonder if it’s possible to create one at pendant size, and mount it on a fitting!

[@julesbower762]

The refraction, allows you to see the cube inside the sphere. That sir, is art. Thank you for sharing.

[@RamonaQ]

Super neat. I keep several of these in the kitchen window. Even at night, just from the light in the room, they are pretty and sparkly. I’ve never seen a big one that wasn’t plastic. I would love to see one done like this.

[@joshcarver5231]

Awesome video as always Ben! And thank you so much for adding that other cow egg so fast! My wife is gonna love it!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate, my pleasure 😊

[@WaiferThyme]

Ooooo its like a hologram!! I love it!!

[@susanheston4483]

How beautiful that is. I just want to stare at it while it slowly turns. It's mesmerizing.

[@Alt87213]

You should totally try your hand at making your own dichroic cube !!

[@lej1105]

That is absolutely beautiful. You have a gift!

[@hadron2]

Absolutely mesmerizing! I'm going to have to get myself one of those dichroic cube thingies now.

[@donnaboyle669]

It’s awesome, great idea. I can see you making a bigger one. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Morgan-Le-Fail]

Such a cool idea, Ben! And the execution was flawless as always. You have such a great attitude and seem like a genuinely kind person, and it's always such a joy to watch your videos. I'm definitely looking forward to a bigger version of the dichroic cube sphere!

[@Chuckles_the_Jester]

wowza! it almost makes the cube look 4d! especially with how the round curfase visually warps the edges of the cube

[@JesLT]

Turned out really cool

[@Blaze_Nights]

Love to see ya do a larger one

[@margaretmiller4899]

Awesome project, I like how the colors change!

[@Ofthe7thSon]

Wow Ben, you nailed it. That’s mesmerising…..

[@theawesomer]

Very cool. It's interesting to see how it magnifies the cube inside.

[@randyeller8139]

That looks absolutely mind blowing! Well done!

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

That looks magical. Well done! Cheers!

[@benjaminsmith2367]

I love the distortion effect the sphere gave the cube!

[@melissagardner6701]

That's so cool!! Gonna be amazing to see those dancing colors of a big one!!!!😮

[@cameronmueller-harder3916]

So cool! I agree with all the other comments saying a big one is a necessity… especially if that would enable you to have less excess resin around the cube!

[@MargaretGeorgemgse]

Lovely optical illusion of trapezial shapes inside!

[@Dippedinsilver1974]

Your videos always make me smile. As always, great job!

[@ImzelM]

WOW! I need one hour of that ball just moving arround 🤩 mesmerizing!

[@robbanb7507]

Looks absolutely magical! Nice work!👏

[@diedredunham7383]

I think what you did made the cube look bigger. It looks a lot better, too. So cool!!

[@kellyw.1779]

Hey Ben! This was an awesome idea and yes it would be so cool to see if a big one refracted more light. It was so thoughtful of you to show the warning ahead of time for possible flashes of light. Your an amazingly talented sweet guy. Big ((Hugs)) from Texas!🤗

[@pb_zep3838]

I am totally digging it man! Good idea, great execution!

[@KubedPixel]

I can't express JUST how much I love this piece 😮😍😍😍

[@jessebeegee]

this orb can for sure fold space… just a stunning piece

[@kathoakes929]

This looks amazing Ben.

[@CasperSallee]

i love how it flashes when you are turning it, it looks great polished but i think it looked better before the polishing when the light was diffused going through it

[@bobbibuttons8730]

Ben, you are the Maestro of resin. That is stunning.

[@robertturtoi5056]

The sphere makes the effect of a fourth dimensional object in motion towards the POV

[@return4570]

That's so cool! The epoxy sphere has a magnifying effect

[@NeonDreams7]

Very, very cool project! Thanks for sharing!

[@ProfCuneusStern]

That may be the most beautiful thing you've made sir, congratulations !!!

[@angelalewis3645]

I absolutely love this one!

[@shaggy5777]

I would love to see the effect if you would epoxy a bunch of these little ones together then make a sphere. Imagine a Dichroic Rubiks Cube Sphere.

[@lynnstewart2326]

LOVE this. Beautiful! My new fave.

[@TheFlacker99]

Some of your best work! Too bad I cant add this to my favorites, the option isn't there, why?

[@compub3ar]

Have you thought about a lighted base for it, maybe with some rotation? Might make for some interesting lighting in a dark room

[@lyndadennin7471]

AMAZING!! Looks like it should be floating in space. Thanks for sharing.

[@wildstorm3486]

First off this turned out wonderful. Great job. Second I want to thank you for the flashing light warning. While I don’t suffer from that sort of thing. It’s always nice to see content creators be mindful of things like this.

[@clairecelestin8437]

What a great project! Thank you for sharing! That object is mysterious and beautiful.

[@StewbertDewbert]

Loads of love from England x yes it's 1am I should be asleep but I want to watch Ben! Xxx

[@vaporman81]

Looks great, perfect size for mounting on a staff or walking stick. I bet a large one would look even better! How about a pair of dice that look like they are frozen in mid air suspended in a ball?

[@robertwalker9625]

The end result is stunning Ben. I'd say this is very unique. Good job Mate.

[@KrisXMcCarty]

Unreal!!! I love it! Great job Ben!

[@Madastrophy]

One of your coolest ones so far!

[@rocker-uy5wg]

This is one absolutely beautiful project. I'd love to see how the bigger one would look.

[@sross9501]

I am so intrigued and inspired... That's breathtakingly beautiful, thank you for sharing!

[@MrVansant]

I've been thinking of this same exact idea for the last week, worried about how it would turn out and if I wanted to make the purchase or not. Thanks Ben for giving me a preview, I ended up ordering a cube directly after seeing this video.

[@FusionDeveloper]

Beautiful, but what if you shine a focused light through it? Do you get crazy patterns on the table or normal splitting?

[@JadeEyedWolf]

Almost looks like a 4D hypercube! Love it!

[@paultitmuss]

How beautiful is that? I bet it’s even better in the flesh?🥰 I definitely think you need to do the larger one, Ben! Great project as always. Thanks for taking the time to make and share your videos, which I always look forward to 🙏🏻

[@BacktheBlue60]

It's stunning. Absolutely stunning. 💯

[@drew-ct8nc]

This is truly a piece of art! Good job!

[@Quickened1]

Looks like dust is the number one enemy to achieving clarity with this one! Just love the dichroic effect... 👍

[@JM-yp8du]

I love the optical illusion the sphere creates. You can trick your brain into seeing the cube spin the opposite way the sphere is spinning. So cool!

[@rachaelayers5591]

That's stunning! Really fascinating to handle by the looks of it

[@zimmy1958]

Beautiful as a top of a cane , walking stick. Love it Ben THANKS !

[@raulvergara272]

this came out amazing!

[@DeaconXPS]

Id buy one for my nephew who lives with autism. This kind of mental exercise draws him in without fail. It looks cool. The play of light is complex, thanks to the flat prisms and rounded spherical outer shell. And it is smooth to the touch, satisfying yet another sensory interest. I say DO THE BIG ONE!!! It will be fun to see on a scale that is closer to the Rubix Cube.

[@jeanettenance1366]

I've been fascinated by these cubes for years. Like you mentioned they are pricey so I have never bought one. Great video 👋😁

[@elzaannieuwoudt215]

😮 That will be an awesome marble or a fidget toy! It's definitely worth a bigger version. Thanks for the warning on the flashing lights. That is super thoughtful of you 👍

[@fractode]

The cube, by itself was interesting. In the sphere, it's absolutely mesmerizing! 👍

[@ronwingrove683]

This might be my favourite thing you've ever made, Ben! It's awesome!

[@wadehendryx7378]

This came out beautiful. I think it actually does more with the color. Would love to see a large one. Hope you're doing well.
