Drewseph's Elite Skewb

[skaterfugater]

first i thought: "isn't it of order 4x4x4?

i would concider the skewb a 2x2

the master a 3x3x3.

this one has 2 layers in between the tips so 4x4x4.

Than again you designed it with"

But than I remember when I compare to the tetrahedron and think about let's say the vcube mechs it makes sense.elite tetrahedron has 3 layers to turn. It's just that there are no faces oposite to each other. Thus thinking the above is the wrong direction.

RIGHT?

[EMI94100]

my name is skewb. ELITE skewb.

[cubswin1982]

why would you brag about how much your art sold for? as a fellow craftsman, i have to say that's pretty tacky, imo. beautiful stuff though.

[morten22pro]

its cubs evil brother

[NZCUB3R]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SharkRetriver]

Your really making me want to make my own puzzles ;)

[yit2525]

you are like the second tony fisher :D

[Pwnzjoomom]

is it possible to make it so that its not a pillowed structure?

[cjhydra08]

Drewseph0011:

did you make this awesome cube??

or this idea is from other person?

[DanoninoBG]

The awesome Drewseph made this awesome cube ;)

[Tripleyou]

come on! we want this produced! such an awesome puzzle

[kurtilein3]

more people need to make these things, so that there is more competition and more of the really awesome stuff reaches the market.

i mean, if you got the parts printed by another company, you could instantly start selling kits. or are you getting patents, and thats why it takes so long?

[KrYp7on1t3]

wow a 4x4x4 skewb! SHWEET!

you should try and make a 3x3x3 one!

[UKSpeedCuber]

It's equivalant to a 7x7 not 4x4.

[KrYp7on1t3]

oh duh LOL wtf was i thinking??

[UKSpeedCuber]

Haha.

[winsum4]

it's a 7x7 skewb and a 3x3 skewb is the standard skewb

[KrYp7on1t3]

yeah. wow thatd be sweet if some1 made an even skewb tho...lol but how would that even work?

idk but i STRONGLY commend anyone who makes one.

[winsum4]

it would be a mister dino cube

[KrYp7on1t3]

ohhhh right right.

[yummyyummypbj]

it's actually a 7x7x7 skewb. and yesz someone made a 5x5 skewb

[RedRoost80]

drew made the master skewb already kryp7on1t3. this isnt a 4x4, its technically a 7x7 the way it is designed and built. a 4x4 would not have a big edge in the middle like that if it was 4x4 :o

[KrYp7on1t3]

lol ive been told

[rubiknerd11]

it's not called a professor skewb because it is custom made and rubik's didn't make it

[Jorbs3210]

Why isn't it called the Professor Skewb?

[winsum4]

@Jorbs3210 because it isnt a 5x5 skewb

[youyoujimmy]

can i buy these and so were?

[Starbladek]

A MUCH better upgrade from the master.

[nkrasn11]

omg that thing is SMOOTH 0_0 no clicks

[Profilesrubiks]

wow,you sold it for 1,000$ ? wow,impressive,i envy the guy who bought it.

[spitfire97]

another time consuming but solvable puzzle and also another expensive from none other than drewseph

[juggliac]

Was there a topic on twistypuzzles about this? Somehow I don't remember ever seeing this puzzle before...

[RedRoost80]

hey drew, is this going to be on bedardpuzzles? and btw what happened to the tetrahedrons? :(

[Drewseph0011]

I have not decided. it takes a lot of work to make a single sample though

[RedRoost80]

i can imagine it would. such a complex puzzle must probably take a lot of time to cast, smooth, paint, sticker, ect. :) i like the purple stickers on it. it makes it look nice! and i like how it is somewhat pillowed, but i can imagine that was done sort of for the reason like the v-cube 7 =p

[Tripleyou]

@Drewseph0011 you should deffinatly list it on bedard. And just price it fair after your wished

[cubeMaster018]

So you only had the master pieces 3D printed?

[cubeMaster018]

Amazing!

[RedRoost80]

grats on the sell drew! :)

[tdubs95]

ok so u sold for 1,000$ but how much did it cost u to make it like the 3d printing and the molding?

[ibccoasterman]

congrats on the huge sale of this great puzzle.

[kjh7887]

Drew has announced on twistypuzzles that he will be selling this on ebay starting April 16

[eniwt]

pillowing makes all puzzles better :)

[ben1996123]

i have a pillowed 0x0, and i want a pillowed 2x2

[WolffStudios]

now it's time for a Royal Skewb! :)

[336616]

lol he's probably already designing it :P

[ulmboy556]

i was really hoping to hear a

"click click click"

[Drewseph0011]

just curious, why do you want something to hinder moment?

[ulmboy556]

its a skewb

[tubingoncubing]

it looks kinda like a 5x5 fisher cube

[Colkadome14]

...now all you have to do is make a Royal Skewb haha

[devjock]

Excellent. Avid mind at work right there :)

[DragonsTrap]

was the pillowing a design choice or is it required by the mechanism ?

[Drewseph0011]

it was needed, see the description of the video for the reason

[YuTubeYouser]

Wow. The only type of cube that I can mod is an Octagonal barrel. And I use silicone sealant to fill it...Where do you get the resins/fillers for your mods?

[Drewseph0011]

this is not a mod firstly.  second I don't use filler. this is Alumilite Black

[YuTubeYouser]

Where do you buy/get it?

[TomPuzzle]

You can't really buy or get it. It's not a mod, but it did involve building it. What he did is he designed the puzzle on the computer, and then had the parts printed on a 3D printer. He then duplicated these parts by molding and casting techniques to make the puzzle.

Whilst it's not a mod (it's not a modification of anything) you can't just buy it somewhere. It's a completely custom puzzle.

Nice work by the way!

[arcrobe]

he designed the parts on a cad progrram, and then had them printed and then casted them himself.

[Fractangle]

I love the purple side.

[msscoventry]

Fantastic.

[RedRoost80]

drew thats awesome!

[Kickflip1993]

Are you going to give the Praxis Cube with the Elite Skewb version a try.

Sorry if I spoilt anything.

[Drewseph0011]

normally I would, but it doesn't do much to make it look interesting

[poloquebec]

Wow this is a whole new mechanism, even hard to think of. Great job again!

[NvPGulstab]

But can it make toast?

[Drewseph0011]

I tried last night. I ended up getting butter and bread crumbs jammed inside though

[NvPGulstab]

Since when do you put the bread in the toaster with the butter already on it?

[TwistyPuzzle]

random xD?

[whauk]

and now the royal skewb! lol

[TwistyPuzzle]

Just no words for it

[DragonCuber]

Oh wow!!! Very nice!! Was this a full print or did you cast some pieces?

[titan0600]

without a doubt the most amazing puzzle you've built to date. the elite skewb is a combination or visually appealing cuts, perfect pillowing, solving difficulty, mechanical complexity, and turns flawlessly to boot!

[sharpyman69]

tite!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IggFish123]

cool!
