Hi Twisty Puzzle fans, Hollow Cube is a regular 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube that has been made as hollow as possible. The pieces are held together by dovetail connections in a spherical construction. Because the puzzle consists mainly of air, it is more affordable than some of the other 3D-printed twisty puzzles, as the costs are per printed volume. Watch the YouTube clipBuy the puzzle at ShapewaysEnjoy the photos below. This puzzle was inspired by Katsuhiko Okamoto's Void Cube. I am quite pleased how this puzzle worked out. Despite the texture of the nylon powder 3D print (SLS technology), it turns quite smoothly. Also the slim stickers by Dr. Sticker worked out well. Merry Christmas! Oskar Attachment:

Amazing. So, does this thing, like, you know, float?   Very nice - it looks like it should just collapse! Alex

Who'll be the first to either order this and make it a hollow sphere or design a hollow sphere 3x3x3?

No no no!!! This is NOT the hollow cube... This is the INVISIBLE cube!!!  What a marvel... efficiency, elegance, engineering, artistic appearance, all put together! Oskar (and Bram), in the past few months, you have surely rocketed twisty puzzles to another level. Pantazis

Not any more difficult to solve but still looks pretty cool. You can solve the cube while looking at the person through it. Woot! Sorry, but I don't see this going into mass production at all. Still cool though!

I haven't seen many of Oskar and Bram's puzzles that would mass produce well.
They're still very amazing puzzles!
