Mere days after photos of a 35x35 surfaced, Preston Alden has unveiled a 49x49:

It weighs 30 kg, stands 34 cm tall, and consists of 13,827 pieces. Every piece of the cube was 3D printed using PETG plastic (aside from the bolts and springs).

Congratulations to Preston on such an incredible achievement. I’ve never seen olzing on such a large puzzle!

      No, it looked like a normal wooden jewelry box but a piece would slide out and reveal a key which unlocked another piece that could move revealing more inner workings ad infimum. You could always just smash it but it was a sweet coffee table piece or whatever. Dude on the street called it a Rubik’s box but who knows. I paid about $2 American for it and I treasured it. When I quit smoking I gave it to my brother, who thought we were being ripped off because he didn’t understand currency exchange lol.
