Fused 2 Layer 3x3x3
| After playing with it, I conclude that this is ideal to learn the F2L method principle.
And a bit the principle of finger ticks because you can only use 2 layers per side. So
it is a nice beginners puzzle, there are three things you learn from this puzzle.
You must puzzle:
1) F2L principle
2) how to orientate the corners (using only R and U)
3) Do a 3 cylce of the edges
Note: the corners are always in the correct order if you have only one face left.

| This is a fused 2 Layer 3x3x3 it is made of two 3x3x3 cubes |
| Draw a circle of 35 mm, and remove the plastic by grinding with a grind stone |
*NOTE* make sure the corner caps of the
corners is in the inside. The side not holding the screw in the picture!
| Get two little screw 10 mm to make the axle, you can also use the normal centers and
clue them to the edges. But I like the possiblity to disassemble it. |
| This is just a firts trial, I make an other one soon ... |
| A nice variation is combine it with octagon parts (idea Max Wiz) |
Skewboid (Fused 2 Layer)
| I will build a Skewboid (named by Max) this is the fused 2 layer with Fischer cube
pieces. The above picture is the basic idea. The blue center can not turn and wil be a
large square. |
| I choice for this type a fixed clone arched kernel, this because this type of kernel
does not need the centers with a spring, and for the fused kernel you wil have only
2 centers that have spring and function. |
*NOTE* An arched clone kernel is not
suitable for speedcubing
| Because I did could not remove the springs, this was impossible in this kerne. The fused
kernel is supported by a screw, this will hold the center horizontal. So normally
you would not need this screw support if you can remove the two springs. |
| This is the clue position place the edges to hold the center horizontal. I used a
combination of putty, superclue and epoxy the clue the fused kernel in place. I used the
putty to fill teh tiny caps between teh kernel and the edges, the epoxy to fix the
centerof teh kernel and teh super clue to fix is all togehter. |
| Kernel in place |
| New "corners" this is an edge and a center with an extension, build from an 45
degree part of an edge piece. |
