Z-Cube Giant cube (30 cm)

Giant cube 3x3 (30 cm)

A 3x3 cube measuring 30 x 30 x 30 cm. Its edge is more than five times longer than that of a typical speedcube (approx. 56 mm), and the whole puzzle weighs just under 2.4 kg. The Giant cube 30 cm is a fully functional 3x3 puzzle in which every face turns. You solve it with the same method and the same algorithms as a regular cube, so anyone who can solve a 3x3 can handle this one too.

How does a giant 3x3 cube turn?

You don't hold this cube in your fingers. You place it on a table or on your lap and turn the layers with both hands. With this size and weight, fingertricks and high TPS are out of the question. Turning is slow and takes some strength. Users point out that, because of their size, the pieces don't always fit together perfectly. If a layer isn't aligned precisely, catching can occur. It helps to align the layers carefully before each turn, and over time also to lube the cube and adjust the tension screws. The cube has no magnets.

What is it good for?

This is not a cube for breaking records. It works better as:

• a decoration for a room, an office or a shelf with your cube collection,
• a teaching aid at school or in classes, because when you demonstrate moves and algorithms to a group, every layer is visible from a distance,
• a gift for someone who solves cubes and already owns a few standard models,
• an attraction at shows and events, where everyone can try to solve it.

If you're buying it for a child, keep the weight and size in mind. Younger children will find it easier to turn on a table than in their hands. As a first cube for learning to solve, a regular 3x3 is a better choice, and the giant can be an addition to the collection.
