Solve the Axis Cube (Using Beginner 3x3 Method)
In this video we'll be tackling the axis cube, a shape mod of the 3x3. I'll be using the same method and algorithms I use to solve the 3x3, so if you are already familiar with that, you are well on your way to solving the axis cube!

This man is going on my will I never thought i could solve this cube but this man just proved me wrong
I got one of these, from a company called Inverse Beyond the Cube. It's called a Stratosfear, but it is the same color (sky blue) on every side. I didn't know it is an axis cube. Now that I finally figured that out I might have some hope of solving the thing! 👍
I tried every tutorial and finally got it with this one. I watched the video probably 20 times but once i got it, it makes complete sense. It was confusing how you were holding the cube at some points but if i just compared it to a 3x3 and always kept the top layer up, it did the trick. Thanks so much. I feel on top of the world!!

The yellow cross can be difficult; sometimes you just need to do the edge swap algorithm a couple of times until you see one of the situations that I show in the video. After you get the hang of what to look for, it gets easier.

Thank you sir. This is one of the most frustrating cubes I’ve solved. I’ve always used F R U R’ U’ F’ to get the last layer cross on a regular 3x3. Then R U R’ U R U2 R’ (sometimes ending with another U) to position the cross pieces correctly. Not sure if I learned differently or changed something myself along the way. Regardless, it doesn’t seem to work well on the Axis.

You can use the same method to do 1, 2, 3, or all 4 corners. Just orient a corner, moves the next one into place and orient it, then the next, then the next. It will all work out in the end as long as you do the moves correctly.

I've never solved one of those. Maybe since there are no colors, you only need to do the algorithm randomly until you get the cross pieces lined up smoothly. Then, I would think you'd do each corner piece until they line up smoothly with the rest. Let me know if that works out or not.

Bro you gotta work on your cube knowledge lol they are algorithms for a reason, they work every time. The third layer might take a couple of times using the algorithms to get it right but saying that the algorithms don't work makes you look dumb. You don't need to mess the cube back up, you just need to do it right. The only part his setup that was lucky was the middle pieces not being rotated. You can solve the cube without having the middle rotated the right way, just like a normal cube but its flat so you don't realize they rotate on the same face. Once you get to the end and all that is left is to rotate the middle pieces, use (R U R' U) 5 times and it will rotate it 180 degrees.

I know this cube can be really confusing; remember, the centers are the small, square pieces that have two colors. Everything rotates around those. The single color triangle pieces and the tri-colored pyramid pieces are the corners. Everything else is an edge. Pick a center, and try to orient yourself to the edges and corners surrounding it. A corner never rotates while touching a center, so a rotation would be turning a side 90 degrees until the next edge lines up with the center you are looking at. Once you get used to this, it's like seeing the code in the Matrix; even with the cube mixed up, you'll be able to tell how to rotate the edges around a center. If all else fails, order a second cube and really get used to it before mixing it up; that may help you solve the first cube more easily.
The algorithms at 14:10 and 15:04 don't work, they literally only just leave the piece there and mess up the rest of the cube Edit: Tried again a while later and it literally put me back to step one. Waste of time.
