How to: Build a 2x2x3 Part 1 - 1 of 2

Something more interesting than peeling stickers. How to make a Slim Tower. Had to split "part 1" into two parts due to youtube limitation. Not sure how many "parts" I'll need as I'm not really planning this.

where did you get your keychain core because the keychain cube bought just has a mini normal 3x3 core

The 30mm 3x3x3 keychain cube IS the core of a Slim Tower...

Hi Jin, I have a question

I purchased a Rubik's Keychain, it's fairly good but is a little hard to turn and it seems that this puzzle relies heavily on the 3x3 keychain core to be smooth turning and stable. Does the fact that the pieces build a large shell around the core over come the difficulty in turning and alignment (the core after all contains no springs) Thanks

[nechronius]

Somewhat, yes. The extensions give you better leverage to turn the core. However that means if your alignment isn't good or the core is fragile it could potentially break if it's not a quality piece. Also once I finish building the puzzle I always put in a dab of "Cube Lube" and believe me, it makes a world of difference.

In my opinion, this one is a pretty easy build, no offense if you think it's hard :D

The domino is much harder though :D

[nechronius]

Builds are as easy or as hard as you make them, but difficulty can be increased by making sure the puzzle has perfect alignment.

DANGIT! i accidently rated it a 1! oops. i would have put it as i 5. im sorry.

[Ravanaboy]

I know it would take time, but would it work in i used sandpaper than a dremel or x-acto knife. I don't have those tool. Thanks!

[EMI94100]

wow! I now found a way to build one out of Legos!

without cutting, gluing or anything!

but it will be giant and heavy...

@thebackflipmaster

Yes it will, watch his futur videos, it shows it's movement

[Iceman3524]

:P  oh well.

[RielWoodBoards]

you can rate it a 5 anyway, just click 5

[thebackflipmaster]

Is it going to be fully functional? Like you could turn it, solve, do checkerboard? Whatever?
