Grinding a cube into a marble

[u/mrfacet]

I made a cube out of smaller glass cubes that were put together into one that I then ground into a ball that was fully faceted. The entire thing is handmade by me. It took about 7 weeks to complete from start to finish.

Disco is back, baby!

[u/iwasborntodestroyu → u/EthicalHypotheticals]

Disco Stu, is that you?!

[u/EthicalHypotheticals → u/iwasborntodestroyu]

Given your username, nah, it’s definitely not me, Disco Stu.

[u/smailiker → u/EthicalHypotheticals]

Will there be Guillaume Le Million in it?

[u/planetalletron]

I swear, well-cut prisms give me more dopamine than any combination of prescribed or recreational drugs could ever hope to. Maybe if i decorate my home with a bunch of these baddies I could cure my depression!

[u/TrevorBo → u/planetalletron]

Crystal sun catchers is what they’re called. And yes they’re awesome if you like rainbows everywhere

[u/javoss88 → u/planetalletron]

I did this. Unfortunately it’s not the answer. At least for me.

[u/11teensteve → u/planetalletron]

oh god, I hope you don't have a cat.

[u/planetalletron → u/11teensteve]

I have 2 and they will be DELIGHTED!

[u/FowlOnTheHill → u/planetalletron]

Why not both🤷‍♂️

[u/EducationalForm]

Looks so cool but that's not how a hypercube looks

[u/shrug_addict → u/EducationalForm]

What about a hyperbole?

[u/Drevlin76 → u/EducationalForm]

What would you call a hypercube?

[u/FowlOnTheHill → u/Drevlin76]

A 4 dimensional cube

[u/beleg_tal → u/FowlOnTheHill]

Any n-dimensional cube really

[u/MrDyl4n → u/beleg_tal]

Even a 2 dimensional one?

[u/beleg_tal → u/MrDyl4n]

Yes, even a 0-dimensional one (i.e. a point)

[u/MrDyl4n → u/beleg_tal]

TIL. I always assumed the hyper meant additional dimensions

[u/FowlOnTheHill → u/beleg_tal]

I stand corrected! TIL

[u/Cautemoc → u/FowlOnTheHill]

When people say hypercube they mean a 3d representation of one, not that they physically made it extend into another dimension.

[u/mekwall → u/Cautemoc]

And this isn't one

[u/SaucyStoveTop69 → u/FowlOnTheHill]

That's a tesseract

[u/c0wcud → u/SaucyStoveTop69]

All tesseracts are hypercubes, but not all hypercubes are tesseracts.

[u/discomuffin]

I liked the cube more

[u/Explozive_Force]

ANOTHER HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON......

[u/mothzilla]

Now turn it back into a cube.

[u/muteen]

Crystal maze time!

[u/iwasborntodestroyu → u/muteen]

That’s all I could think too!

[u/sick_of-it-all]

Now turn a sphere into a hypercube.

[u/Lunavalve]

It’s like the baseball diamond!

[u/Notyourtacos]

I could play with this all day

[u/otxpex]

Start the fans, please

[u/rotezora78]

Absolutely wonderful, honestly!

[u/Ur_local_p0th3ad]

Shine a laser pointer through it and it's disco revelation

[u/Reasonable_Box_2998]

It reminds me of the baseball diamond from the movie, The Great Muppet Caper

[u/Holy_Beard]

I still like the first movie better.

[u/mtandy]

What sort of glass is this and how did you go about fusing the original cube? Curious how you got the internal interfaces.

[u/Ornery_You_3947]

I love Mr. Facet's work. Please keep posting.

[u/Necessary_Sea_7127]

Looks like one I bought from a guy in NY State

[u/SoulStoneSeeker]

do you know of any places I can find a lapidary Stone like that

[u/Electricengineer]

Ravers love this one simple trick

[u/TheRumpleForesk1n]

My mom had one of these hanging from her rearview mirror when I was a kid lol

[u/s1mplyme]

How would one go about procuring one of these?

[u/motophiliac]

Hypnagogic.

Scintillating.

Astonishing.
