[JerryGiesler09]

Two Neocube Omega packs will cover that many magnets required for this demo. Ima about to get me one of those dual Omega pack! :)

[BenForgyLink2010]

what r u doing at 3:40?

[szakiii]

@BenForgyLink2010 I'm adding pairs of dots to make the cilinder connections more stable.

[HiLoPicoLo]

if i ever made that I'd never touch it again.. and kill whoever destroyed it.

[Robin18342]

god damn, it took some strength at 10:17

[corrivalnumber]

whats better? nanodots or neocube and why????

[Hear4you]

How many balls do you have total

[janniammlive]

wanna be my husband?

[Robin18342]

@janniammlive yes

[pitthe123]

I use Nanodots Black Edition and I cant manage to build this thing: When I wrongly attach one of those tubes to the stump, I cant get it off without destroying the whole thing and starting from the very beginning.

The whole thing is very very unstable for me, while it looks stable in your video...

[szakiii]

@pitthe123 Try to put your fingers between the parts when you're about to attach them and move them slowly out as they get closer to each other. There will be a point when they are not attached yet but you can feel whether it wants to attach as intended (having the correct polarities). If it's the other way, you can still remove it without any problem.

About stability: yeah it's a bit fragile until you put the stabilizer dot pairs. Just be careful :)

[pitthe123]

@szakiii

Oh szakiii, forgive me my stupidness :P I built my small tubes ball-on-ball, not interlaced like you do.

Just did it with interlaced tubes and I did it on first try!

[DrakoV3]

Is that the tree you cut in Pokemon?

[dezaiyo]

verryyyyyyyy cool but the vid was to lang;)

[Faem1]

one word :) fantastic :)

[TheMetrixking]

after a lot of fraction, do the Nanodots get scratched and used up? Like, I want to know if these things last long, especially after seeing you make many videos and crushing them all together

[szakiii]

@TheMetrixking I'm sure there's a point but after a good year of usage I still couldn't find that out :)

[xKELLETTx]

what is the difference between neocubes and neodots

[szakiii]

@xKELLETTx There is no such thing as neodots. If you mean Nanodots, I have a detailed description about the differences on my profile comments page.

[TheNintendoSpot]

@szakiii Hay I got a question I have 1080 dots (5 sets) and I can build any thing just about with out haveing any problems at all. I want to advance higher but I need more dots(I don't have alot of money) I'v talked to the nanodots custumer service I have a camera and about 100 subscribers on my youtube page and I want them to send me some more dots for makeing videos.send me a message if you can help me out :D thanks

[HighlyCompressed]

06:00 Dogy :)

[Natarichan13]

how much time do you spend having fun like this. I wish i could do that... ^^

[Lamborghini0000]

Neocubes and neodots look hard to bend and split. Are they?

[Zickino167]

@Lamborghini0000 Yeah, but after like 20 tries you get it. To split a square cube, is really hard.

[counselorphoenix]

Oh my, that has to be one of the most complex builds I have ever seen. Well done! I bought several sets of those magnetic ball thingies and just completed my first Dodecahedron Frame by your example. Took me about an hour lol. I think I'll practice some more before trying this baby. This is just insane :-D

[4NasTyA4]

10:13 NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo

[HouseCrafts]

Nanodots / CyberCube are just fake. Neo cube is the real one.

[szakiii]

@HouseCrafts Now that's not true at all. I think you misunderstood the real meaning of 'fake'. It means when someone tries to sell a similar but usually much lower quality product under the same or very similar name for a lower price. I know little about Cybercube but as for Nanodots this doesn't apply at all. The only true statement is that Neocube was before Nanodots but Nanodots evolved more in less time than Neocube in a longer period of time.

[barzn337]

@szakiii And not to mention Nanodots are better in quality and resistance.

I have Both NeoCubes and Nanodots and i can testify that even that ive used Nanodots more -  their still well coated unlike the NeoCubes that are now peeled in more than a half of each sphere..

Nanodots is a bit pricier but it still worth the quality of it!

[dman1352010]

Y crush it

[Ollebladine]

The price difference between The Neo Cube and Nanodots are quite big. How much better are the nanodots? I'm thinking about geting something, I will probably buy the neocube since the price difference. What do you think? Are the nanodots way better than the neo cube? Or is the difference small thinking about the huge price difference?

[davidgrgic]

Is there any way to get a discount for these things? Kind of expensive to get anything over 600 dots

[szakiii]

@davidgrgic Yeah, use the coupon code szakiii to get 10% off.

[kanevsunder]

to me this is so relaxing

[LadyYaoiGirl]

have you made something with all of your magnets, apart from a big formless ball?

[thedarksideofthemoun]

Dove hai conparato questo neocubes? lo voglio anche io =D

[mastrbone321]

how can you just crush a nice building like that?!?! x)

[12Avoid]

Yup, just bought some.

[nit0134]

i paused the video right befor yuh were guna squish it..i just kudnt wach lol xD

[chaleur1995]

nano cubes are better

[azbgm]

the advanced version is fu***** awsome hehe (iputted the stars)

[Eternalsilence1000]

6:03 kinda looks like a dog

[crashbandicot16]

bueno no se si ablas español pero si entiendes esto me gusto el video y quisiera saber donde benderan esas bolitas que son imanes o algo asi bueno eso es todo gracias

[ARCEYE78]

not only another good watch but also reunited me to a all time great oldskool classic tune Age of love ....nice one mate X)

[lucassouza1996]

new video please

[sdeckert24301]

the second song is definitely a sample of bjorks bachelorette

[rakker614]

why is it 12+??

[extortion777]

How heavy are these?

[CoCo27ish]

@ szakiii How many cubes did you use for this?

[ThaLipSyncher]

you have sooo many balls

[deavilvalnar]

@ szakiii ohh ok ...

[deavilvalnar]

how much money do u spend for your neocubes ?

[szakiii]

@deavilvalnar I think around $200-300. It was almost two years ago so I can't remember well.

[crabsnyopants]

@szakiii why would you spend that much money :< you better be the nanodots world master.

[scopemania1]

3:00 till 3:04 they are expanding !!! retreet trojans retrEEEEEEETTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scopemania1]

this is probably the last time illl ask

do they sell in uae ?

[szakiii]

@scopemania1 If you go to thenanodots(dot)com and ask for a shipping quote, you can select UAE and you'll be given a price. So my guess the answer is yes, you should try.

[scopemania1]

@szakiii not shipping man ! do they sell in UAE not ship SELL. coz there are crapy magnets here so im wondering do they sell in UAE (not ship)

[Drillogicaldrummer]

ur pro i got idea with 216 magnets (i bout to try this in minute) make a hollow 6x6 cube then make each side have hollow piramids to hide the cube it'll look awsome i hope :)

[ishouldplayzelda]

R.I.P. quad tree. we hardly knew ya...

[scopemania1]

feels good when u touch it and smash it huh ??? i wish i could have thm :( do they sell it in the UAE?? (abu dhabi)

[Marcopolo10001]

Nice-I've made some videos myself, but I use Neocubes, mainly because I wanted cheap and basic to start with. They work great.

[Mikepodrazil]

Very nice..Thank

[AntiSpamOnline]

TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[southparkman999]

i am getting neo cubes orderd today cant wait they where really good price so i just bought them instead of zen magnets ^^

[peoncup]

is nano dots paying you to say they are better than neocubes. neocubes were first after all. they are probably paying you to not say anything about paying you so it probably doesn't matter if i ask or not but i'm curious

[pivotkickass]

Can you do a tutorial that only requires 1 pack of nano dots (however many that is) cuz that's all I have and I don't have enough money to buy more.

[bowking135]

dude whats this song called i love it

[Delta8271993]

Im planning on buying one. Is that the whole 236 set?

[GatheredVermin]

The smaller the balls the more you can make with them.

[1lumical1]

bænt

[famous1ondeck]

what if you droped a hole bunch of these balls and it fell and when it hit the ground it made that... lol..... i would shit!!1

[piranha031091]

these small magnets remembers me the replicators in Stargate...

[ddogthepimp]

you really like tiesto

[MrFlingace]

My question is..

How much does all that cost? >_>

[elnatochickenpenut]

so this is what people do instead of playing computer games ;D

[MrHandsome3124]

Took him 8 seconds to turn that into a gigantic mass of magnetic balls... what a shame.

[jaded110]

I bought three sets of these, and thanks to a shipping error, they're sending me three more sets free in a separate shipping. ^_^ I'm still flailing in glee.

[Brookbadger]

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ Fuck the new layout on YouTube! xD Copy and paste!

[7fulgore7]

can i please have a 20 or 30% off coupon

[xbox360master77]

r u out of ur mind?! u just crushed a master peace!!!!!

[biceryen]

@xbox360master77 That would be why he records it. Plus it makes it even more of a master piece if it doesn't exist any longer.

[cobraeater455]

just do a video of you mushing a big ball of nano dots

[LILOEVERYTHING]

i wonder what would it look like if you continued pattern a few more times

[jundiesman]

wouldn't it be so much easier to just buy a neocube omega???

[szakiii]

When I bought my Neocubes, the omega set didn't even exist yet :)

[peoncup]

@jundiesman buying off ebay is way cheaper anyway

[LuminuxW]

Nice video :D but 10:13 is painfull xDDu

hey, I like it... where can I buy them?

[szakiii]

Check the description, thenanodots(dot)com

[lilljulle96]

how many mgnets do you have? :-O

[szakiii]

I have 13 Neocube alpha sets (2912), 15 Nanodot original sets (3240) and like 8-10 other Nanodot sets (~2000).

[kaldyka]

@szakiii :O:O:O:O

The nanodot size is larger than the neucebe

[gyptax]

couldn't you just pour alchohal over your balls to clean them?

[szakiii]

I haven't tried that. I don't know if it would react with the balls' coating (or the inside if there happen to be a very little hole in it).

[apex7urbo]

Just ordered 3 boxes of Nanodots. My Neocube coatings seem to be flaking off.. :S

[ChicagoStevensoN]

Szia,

Lenne egy-két kérdésem számodra, van esetleg msned ahol tudnánk beszélni? Ha igen, akkor küldj egy pmet kérlek.

Üdv.

Richard

[yeyocam1]

donde los vendenn??

[szakiii]

English or Hungarian please

[sk84fun93]

he said "where do you buy them." and i didnt even use a translator!

thenanodots[dot]com

[filip12abefralotte]

i love neocubes!

[Krapper97]

Он еще сделает!

[puppy4200]

lol i wish i had like a fucking box full of these and a stip of the good shit...... fucking intese

[badbrad66733]

do your balls ever get dirty?

[szakiii]

Yeah they do indeed - because my hands always start to sweat after a while... and no way to clean :)

[customcritic]

So, what you are saying is:

You have sweaty balls.

Right?

[Trishlanga]

10:14 Imagine the God destroying his creations just like that :)

[DarkBlom00]

Haha, yeah God created a donkey we say, and after ten minutes he just Haha and now the best part !

[FanRa3]

Взял и сломал :D

[Speedcore02]

mega pro ;)

[Cytka100]

How many balls do you have ?

[LasseTristanFalster]

@Cytka100 2, like all others. you?

[ghosthunter2006]

LOL!

[rcflight13]

@Cytka100 At the very least 2000-3000.

[szakiii]

2912

[n1bigdaddy]

@Cytka100

2

[coldzone666]

@Cytka100 lol 2

[GuyofSpades]

@Cytka100 2

[szakiii]

@Cytka100 This is a very old comment I may have missed it that time but the number of positive votes demand a (new) reply :)

Right now I have 15 sets of v1 Nanodots, 10 sets of v2 Nanodots and I still have a bunch of my old Neocubes.

I would not consider the latter tho because they are a bit dirty (my hands like to sweat) and the coating started to brake down in spots here and there too.

[vagvolgyiattila]

Hm. :)

Hello szakiii ! :)

God has very similar game when He plans the viruses. :)

[arinor17]

These are amazing. Very well done. I can't wait to get some for myself.

[ThommyTerneborn]

How many balls do you have?

[Thaton3Azn]

how big is one of those balls? i know that the cyber cube has 6mm and 4.76 mm but how big are those?

[szakiii]

These are around 4.5mm or a bit more. Maybe exactly 4.76 but I'm not sure.

[Thaton3Azn]

ok thanx ;D

[cybershark1991]

one little question, do you work on 012? I really hope you will make more structurs and so on. it's really nice

[szakiii]

I did and the video material was already recorded. But my hard drive started to malfunction and so far I've not been able to recover the raw video. Neither do I have time to re-record it at the moment, so I'm not sure when it will come out.

[nautsch]

That happens, when you play around with strong magnets in the proximity of your harddrive :-)

I'd really like those but would really be worried about my computer, when they are nearer than 2 meters.

[szakiii]

Ah I don't think magnets caused my harddrive to malfunction, I never put them too close :) I keep the balls at least one meter from the computer.

[mrmax86]

10:15 whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?

[stankwho]

google Neodymium Magnets

[allyjez1]

omg you have sooo amny neocubes rofl

[opahan666]

how many neo cubes do you have

[szakiii]

I have 13 alpha sets

[vlaxatron]

so basically like 3 omega sets

dang

[SaiyanKirby]

0:41 looks like the Meffert's "Platypus" puzzle. :D

Nice job, man!

[danielronn]

u shuld build one of those things that looks like the "dna" :P

[szakiii]

Actually there has already been a structure that looked like kind of a spiral but I couldn't make it stable enough. Yet :)

[danielronn]

ohh ok well i hope to see it when i gets more steady

[IlyanIFZ]

Using 8-balls rings instead on 6-ball rings in basic building block you can build shapes with similar approach, but cubic symmetry. For example, using 36 building blocks on 24 balls each (3 stacked 8-balls rings) you can build a 3D "#" shape.

[IlyanIFZ]

You can also build closed structures using the same building blocks. I used 25 small parts to build a shape with tetrahedron symmetry.

[Toxxic88]

where can i buy these? OMG SO COOL

[qaara200]

Awesome Vids! i need th neocube...

[msndokaralho]

Nevermind, just ordered 120 more :]

[rotflmaopmpqxyz]

it looks hard to crush the bigger tree.

[szakiii]

Yeah it is because the 16 main parts are very stable and dense. The balls in them are as close as possible to each other.

[jstylen1]

how much did all those neoballs cost, and i mean all 2912 of them?

[death509]

divide 2912 by 216 then multiply by 29.95

[szakiii]

Actually not exactly. One alpha set is 224 (I have 13) but I've only bought the first eight. Now an alpha set costs $25 but I think my eight ones were all $30 at the time of buying. The last five were a gift from Neocube for my videos :)

[death509]

wow nice, im gettin a neocube alpha set, i ordered it 2 days ago, cant wait to get it, i have wanted this for awhile, anyways thats awesome how many u have, and u got 5 from neocube for ur vids? i think i kno why, ur vids r awesome, lol

[msndokaralho]

haha! Congrats for the bonus ones :]

I think I'm gonna buy some more, 60 just isn't enough!

[FazenAbi]

I got my neocube in july 2008 the neocube is AWSOME!!!

[MrCreago]

i Gota subscribe to this its awsome great work was just wondering aswell how many balls u got in total :)

[szakiii]

I have 2912 balls at the moment :)

Thanks for the comment btw.

[EvPointMaster]

Your creations are awesome, but i have only 1000 balls, so i can't build the big one :'-(

[szakiii]

You can still build it if you skip the last steps. The 80 basic elements need only 960 balls. The stabilizer twos need +60, there are 20 single ones, and the triangles at the end take 72 more. You'll just need to handle it a bit more carefully :)

[liddy85]

i see your branching out.

[8thlvlMage]

I see what you did there. :P

[NoNameC68]

Now for a neocube Statue of Liberty...

Everyone, donate more neocube!

[kcsabam]

Great job Szaki, as usual!

Szaki R O O O C K S!!!

[PcLightBulb]

wow how do you get all these ideas?

[szakiii]

I always get this question from time to time ^ ^

I just sit down and let my imagination loose... :)

[8thlvlMage]

That seems to be the best way!

Also look in chemestry books. There are plenty of molecule formations, and learning the basic molecule shapes can go a long way. :)

[summerice21]

Another great creation from Szakiii...Did that negotiation with neocube work out?

[szakiii]

Yeah, they have sent me five sets for free :)

[kcsabam]

Szaki is now the official neocube PIMP :)

[szakiii]

... :P

[FrostxBite777]

ur a genius. how do u come up with all these shapes

[nickwarr182]

Glad to see the dispute worked out!

[szakiii]

Yeah! However, the status says "Your dispute is still awaiting a response", so it's kinda interesting.

Thanks for the idea :)

[onraj9mm]

I played watch?v=m-XFZmsHNyk with it, suited pretty well actually :)

nice vid thanks!

[forbiddenhunter6]

thats awesome. try putting that you dont own the music and who does own it so the audio isnt disabled. nice work.
