The amount of people saying that it's just a stickered 2x2 mirror cube is wild... To clarify, a mirror cube has different heights on all 6 sides, so each piece is a completely unique shape. This cube only has 2 different heights, so the stickers are required to tell the pieces apart!

Another way you could consider what 1.5x1.5 means: a 3x3 has 6 turns you can make a 2x2 has 3 turns you can make a 1x1 has 0 turns you can make So a 1.5x1.5 should have 1.5 turns you can make. So the R face moves normally, the U face can only make 180 degree turns, and the F face is locked into place. (Or, alternatively, the U face can only move clockwise) It would take some creative bandaging but the result would be cool and you could extend the concept for other fractions and for larger order cubes

This is actually a visual representation of binomial squared, or (a+b)(a+b). If the smallest piece was a squared, and the biggest was b squared, the thinner in between pieces would be a squared b, (or a^2 times b), and the thicker in between pieces would be ab squared (or a times b^2). The whole thing is a squared plus 2ab plus b squared, which is binomial squared. I'm sorry for the rant, but I was so freaking excited when I saw the finished product and I couldn't resist. Edit: It's actually binomial cubed. Sorry for the mix up.

No, every layer has to be a different size, the 1.5 x 1.5 isn’t a 2x2 mirror cube, so a 2.5 x 2.5 won’t be a regular mirror cube

Here's my interpretation of what 1.5x1.5 could mean: It looks like the one you made, but turns around axes going through the center. It's equivalent to a 3x3 with some pieces glued together. There are only 28 positions you can make with it. Up to symmetry, there are only 6 of them. It isn't very interesting. However, I've seen a similar cube that is more interesting. You can get it from a 3x3 in the same way except, instead of uniting 4 pieces into one, uniting 2 of them into one and 2 into another all 3 times

That's a cool build! This would work well for a two solution cube too!

You could have bandaged a 3×3 with a big 2×2×2 block bandaged and different bandages on his sides... It would have turned differently, but I think this turning fits the N×N cubes' turning better, even if it's hard to scramble (so easier to solve, which ALSO fits a 1.5×1.5 - in terms of difficulty of solving, between a 1×1 and a 2×2). Also when solved it looks the same.

make a 0.5x0.5, it's a 1x1, but 1/8th the volume, and only 3 colored sides, and 3 black sides

Love the style of your vids! 1.5x1.5 looked good too.

I think a "true" 1.5x1.5, where it looks like this mod externally but has face-centered rotation, would be trivial. When turning it, it would look like a 3x3 bandaged to only turn UFR, but every turn has to be 360 degrees before you can turn something else.

Great video!! Love the end result

You should make a 4x4, but the inner layers are half the size of the corners. This way, it can be solved as a regular 3x3, but can also be used as a 4x4!

Cool idea! I can imagine what other decimal cubes would be like.

wow dude that is awesome! I recently got into puzzle design and have made some fully 3d printed puzzles and it is cool to see a larger KZreadr like you showing some love to the cube design hobby.

When you were talking about cutting down a cube, I was half expecting your better method to be starting with a small-size 3×3 cube and cement some of the faces together.

the weird shapes may be hard to recognize pbl cases, but they would prolly make it easier in the long run to recognize them because they are jumping out at you the whole time

For your next video, please make a maglev 1.25*1.25! (Btw your build is great)

Wouldn't halfway between a 1x1 and a 2x2 be a 1x2? It'd be a complex design, especially if you opted for including adjustable magnets or some kind of dual spring adjustment system, but those features might be crucial for a record-setting time with the 1x2. It's a challenging puzzle to be sure, but I understand that those who learn _all_ of the necessary algorithms to solve it and perform them well, they automatically have faster times because they can pretty much guarantee a PLL skip.

Well it’s halfway between a 1x1x1 and 2x2x2 so which side would be 1 and which would be 2?

since this is 3d when you double each side length you increase the actual puzzle size by 2^3 = 8 times, so the 2x2 is actually 8 times the size of a 1x1, to get in between, we would need to be 4 times the 1x1, if you take a look back at finding the shape 8 times as big as the 1x1 instead we will notice the dimensions are the cubed root of 8, so the cube root of the scale will be the new size of the each length, so the cube root of 4 is what we need, however this not only isn't an integer its not even rational(a fraction) but its around 1.5874 which is actually quite close to the value used in the video surprisingly enough

2.5x2.5 next? Would be pretty interesting

THAT IS SO COOL

Have you ever thought about posting the stls for your prints in your mod videos? I would love to make this so it would really help to get the models!

What I imagined was that it would be a 2×2 but some faces would be stitched together. Meaning that all sides have either 1 or 2 pieces per axis.

You should look into acetone smoothing for removing the 3dprinting texture

the checkerboard pattern looks like a cubism painting

Try making a puppet cube! Would love to see it!

have you ever tried 3D-printing those mini-2x2 cores? maybe that would work

My interpretation would be that a 1.5x1.5x1.5 cube should in total, including (if any) inner subdivisions be made of 3.375 smaller cubes, so i think the closest possible would actually be 2x2x1

Cool! At first glance it looks like a mirror cube but now I see what you mean.

If you take a 3x3 and cut two layers in half, then you'd have 0.5 + 0.5 + 1 layers, which adds up to two. So theoretically you could make a 2x2 out of a 3x3 by cutting down the layers

you could just take a 3x3x3 and bind some of the layers together with 2x2 plastic tiles and that would give you more or less the same thing (albiet wouldn't look as good)

Damn, i didnt expect shrinkflation to go this far

1/4x1/4 cant wait for this one

You should invest in some MSLA printing tech, the post-processing is a bit longer (washing, curing) but the part quality is brilliant and the price of those resin machines is way more affordable now (to the point where its even cheaper than a decent fdm printer)

Could you give us a link to the 2x2 used and the print file?

This is actually kind of interesting. I wonder what this would mathematically look like if we did it correctly. I have a feeling it's not possible. It seems strongly related to the fence-post problem, as we're dealing with lengths and cuts (2x2 has 1 cut (per axis)). By scaling that logic up to 3 dimensions, we can use a formula for how many cuts an nxn should have: (n-1)*3. This formula obviously only gives integer outputs assuming integer inputs, but you can solve for any number. Like I said in another comment, a 1.33x1.33 would only have one cut, but perceptually that doesn't make really make sense. It unsurprisingly only seems like integer lengths would be possible.

0.5+1+1.5x0.5+1+1.5 (maybe skewed 3x3 is a better name) sounds like an amazing idea! do it!

According to a Chris Hardwick's formula in a ceiling function (due to 1×1×1), 1.5×1.5×1.5 should have total of 240 possible possitions.
