This is the stainless steel Rubik's cube created by engineer Chris Lou. Mr. Lou used to make a Rubik's cube made of aluminum, but he was 'not completely satisfied', so he decided to make it with a new material. Stainless steel is roughly divided into various types according to its composition, but Mr. Lou chose the one called ' 303 ', which is easier to process.
The first parts that Mr. Lou created are eight corner parts located at the corners of the cube. It is a cube with a side of 0.925 inches (about 2.350 cm) cut out from 1 inch (2.54 cm) square stainless steel, and the surface is rougher than it looks.
Mr. Lou scraped off the corner parts with a
Almost completed with a slight inclination so as not to interfere with other parts.
It fits perfectly in a commercially available Rubik's cube.
Mr. Lou next worked on 12 blocks called 'edge parts' that were neither corners nor central parts.
Mr. Lou did everything by hand, so he made a small mistake ...
All the edge parts have been completed safely.
The rest are center parts located in the center of the 6 sides. After shaving the inner surface to a curve, Mr. Lou has a hole in the center so that a threaded stem can be inserted.
This is the part located at the core of the cube. It is a part with legs protruding in 6 directions, and there is a hole in the center of the legs. The result of combining all the above parts is ...
It's a cube like this.
Mr. Lou made a stamp on the surface of this and poured black paint on the groove to decorate it. And the finished product polished with sandpaper looks like this. Although it can turn the cube properly, it weighs 3 pounds (about 1.4 kg), so it is 'very tired'. Mr. Lou is satisfied with the finish, saying, 'It's much cleaner and smoother than the one made of aluminum.'
