Unofficially, this is theworld's largest cube puzzle. I get a headache just thinking about how one would go about solving this functioning 17x17x17 behemoth.
Comprised of 1539 pieces and roughly 5.5-inches-long in each direction, creator Oskar van Deventer fabricated each individual part using a 3D printer, then he dyed and sorted each piece before assembling it into what your see here. The dyeing and sorting took 10 hours, while the assembling took another five. Hello, tedium!
If you'd like to dye, sort and assemble one yourself, you can spend roughly $2000 in partshere. If you want a finished product, you can check it here.

That is insane!!
Shoot, I havene't even solved the regular sized one.
/me dies a little inside
nice, I'm still trying the 4x4 one lol
Couldn't even finish the regular cube:D
Now, that's just sick.
Damn, I needed instructions for the 3x3 :S
And I can't even solve a 3x3x3 one.
would be cool too have as a decoration.
I'd play with that for maybe an hour then throw it through a window
^ what he said!
I haven't solved a 3x3 cube yet xD
looks easy... >.<
JEEZ....I quit. haha
HOLY COW! I want this!
nice post
+ followed:)
I'm sure the equation still works, if it's modified, but still. ..that would be nerve wracking.
Holy crap, that's insane.
Wow, imagine the steps you'd have to take to solve that!
It would be cool to mess one up on display at a friends house.
No thanks! that's intimidating
well i should try with the 3x3 first lol!! nice article.
Woah I can't even solve a normal one -_-
aha nice blog btw, will be following!
This is crazy!
I can solve a 2X2X2, a 3X3X3, a 4X4X4 but i dont think i would be able to get even remotely close to solving that one...i wonder how its all being held together, but still able to twist
