Z-Cube Periodic Table

Periodic Table 3x3: a cube with the periodic table

Periodic Table is a classic 3x3 cube with the entire periodic table of chemical elements printed on its faces. Instead of plain colors, every tile shows an element symbol, and the surface itself has a noticeable, interesting texture. The cube is stickerless in a bright color scheme, so nothing will peel off.

A cube for solving, not just for the shelf

The mechanism is a typical 3x3 one, so you solve it just like any other cube, and all the well-known methods work on it. The 57 mm size is the standard most cubers are used to. At 73 g, the cube sits comfortably in your hand and feels neither noticeably light nor heavy.

The print does, however, make it harder to recognize colors. During your first solves, you will need to look at the pieces more closely than on a regular cube. For some, it is an extra challenge; for others, a reason to treat Periodic Table as a cube "for fun" rather than for breaking records.

Tension adjustment

The cube has adjustment screws, so you can set the tension yourself. Tightened, it will be more stable and less prone to popping. Loosened, it turns more easily and handles corner cutting better. All you need for adjustment is a small screwdriver.

Who is it for?

It is a great gift idea for a student learning chemistry, for a teacher or for anyone who collects unusual 3x3 cubes. You can also give it to someone who is just starting to solve, as a solving guide is included. A speedcuber looking for a competition cube should choose a magnetic model with solid colors. Periodic Table is not allowed in official competitions, because printed faces do not meet the requirements of the regulations.
