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!

      New patterns emerge in a 4x4 compared to a 3x3, and some more new ones show up at 5x5, but after that it’s all the same thing just more layers.

        I’d argue that 6x6 centers intoduce some intricacies you don’t see on a 5x5, but beyond that, yeah, it’s pretty much just more of the same.
