Assembly of MoYu 13x13x13 Rubik's Cube puzzle (13x13)

I would never be able to put that back together.

Astonishing!

I was wondering if you cant assemble it without the right sticker colour, as long as the corners are in the right spot like an even layered cube. But then i realized it would probably take more time to solve it after assembly than searching the correct coloured sticker.

So it's the oldest surviving video of 13x13x13 assembly. I also consider them like 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzles.

I think I now understand the mechanism. The first mass-produced higher order cubes (9×9×9 and 11×11×11) used straight V-mech with slightly modified pieces. However, 6×6×6 to 10×10×10 (at the time I'm writing this) puzzles produced after that actually incorporated the 3×3×3 self-supported frame in addition to central rows of V-mech which added a lot of stability. This 3×3×3 is present in this 13×13×13 as well. For everyone who don't yet know, 3×3×3 frame idea itself is not new. In fact, Rubik's and Meffert's (latter with greater success) brand 5×5×5 used this mechanism years before.

However, in Moyu 13×13×13, an additional 7×7×7 frame seems to exist. If that's true then the puzzle would still function perfectly if the pieces of 2nd, 3rd and 4th innermost rows of this puzzle were removed.

I know this is completely unrelated to the video but, is it possible to make a square based pyraminx?

How long did it take for you to fully assemble it?

Anybody else thought in their heads, "this piece goes here... this piece goes here... this piece goes here...", only because Tony said it?

Wow ! pieces seem really interlinked, no mystery this huge twisting puzzle is so stable.

will we being seeing a 13x13x13 ball any time soon? 

I don't know if you'll see this but cool video and very gutsy especially if you lose one piece you're done for.

That's no moon

Very interesting. Thank you for showing this.
It would be very nice to know how they are assebled at the MoYu factory and how long it takes there.

THIS PUZZLE COSTS 340.00$ HOLY FUCK!!!!(from amazon)

I just disassembled and assembled my 5x5, and I thought that was a big pain in the ass...

4 people wanted to see the full normal speed video.

You forgot to lube and tension it. Gotta take it back apart!

Did you disassemble that cube only for two videos?? (No offense, I enjoyed the video and watched the whole thing!)

This video is so... Satisfying.
just the ambient noise that sounds like rain outside in the background, the delightful click of each piece, and watching the complexity of it just come together in a beautiful way. You didn't need to speed it up, I would watch the entire assembly footage.

Some people choose painful hobbies...

At 28.00 if that was me I'd be like "S.O.B. what the hell happened to that blue center!" Lol

I like how almost every moyu puzzle has a blue core :P

i don't know how you think of this Tony...this blows my mind...

I wonder who actually designs those cubes?, 
and how?  
what kind of software do they use?..Autocad?, Inventor?, paint?

How hard is it to find every single piece?

I take it you have no issue with the Moyu 13x13 because V-Cubes' patents extend only to 11x11 puzzles?

"Mankind sometimes creates monsters"..... THIS is one of them....Now, if I buy a 13x13 MoYu, I swear not to disassemble it. Nor let anyone do. If you have time, earn some money...don't break this up.

es el puto amo

Fake. You obviously took a video of yourself disassembling the cube and reversed it.

How do you know where the pieces go?

Did you lubricate the core while it was apart?

it's raining out there?

hey Malmrose doesn't have lubix

The centers remind me of the ones in the original Professor's Cube.

"Just as my SD card ran out!"
That'd be sad

Dear Moyu gods, please provide strength and control as I attempt this ridiculous and arduous task...

Assembling half a 4x4 took me and my friend 2 days lmao

will you buy yuxin 17x17 ? it is expensive

which one takes more time ? Solving it or Breaking and Reasembling it ???

Como cuando no puedes resolver el cubo de 13 x 13 x13 y lo desarmas. :V

And here I'm struggling to put my 2x2 back together.

this is painful to watch

Thanks

Only ogs remember when the cube 8 was the biggest

An amazing piece of engineering.

seems like assembling it is harder than solving it

We used your 2014 video in 2022 when reconstructing our 13x13x13 which exploded into 800+ pieces after a fall, and we rebuilt it in about two weeks, c. 20 minutes a day. Thank you!
