Final cube project Mezzoforte, a weight-balanced, coated RS3 2020 w/ glowing engraved logo Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2021-06-04 | It's been quite a ride, but I get more fun from life than making cube products for small margins. This is it: one last, final cube project just for fun.I call this the "Mezzoforte" cube, and chose the symbol from music theory to represent this last project. You can call it the MF cube for short.The milling creates a 13% weight reduction, and well as changing the friction profiles to create a crisp and fast RS3 2020. Springs lubed with traxxas 50k, feet with Gravitas, and pieces with traxxas 30k.Edge feet are coated with my BLUE SPEED coating, which is a microns thin layer of PETG, and also chemically welds the piece together to create a sturdy and stable piece.The logos are engraved and inlaid by hand with a safe glow compound that vividly displays MF in dim and dark rooms.SOLD OUT, thanks everyone!Hope you enjoy the cubes!They'll ship out sometime next week!
i made a new type of 3d printer to make progressive twist barrels, springs, screws, rods, and more Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2023-10-14 | invented this printer mod so I could make the sickest air gun possible, but never finisheddecided to finally make a video about the work along the wayrotational axis printing can do a lot of cool thingsmodded a cr-10 and wrote the software myself hehe
making FN Pie with vacuum forming Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2022-03-23 | i was hungry in the morning and made a kiwi strawberry pietechnology has taken all skill and magic out of lifeEDIT: FN is a hint for my next video, it's gonna be sick, probably in 3-4 months
i quit my job and found a dream job!! Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2021-11-05 | I'm still living in California, so moving forward, I'll only be making creative new california legal air-guns onlyIf I ever vacation back in GA, I'd love to make a new delayed blowback mechanism that I've never seen anyone else do before!This is a quick vlog about how much I love my new job working at 10x Genomics!!!!!My coworkers are all insanely smart and this place is amazing!!!!

40 round semi-auto mega pistol, 100% original design 3d print + aluminum milling Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2021-05-27 | Update: Wow, I did not expect this many views, thanks everyone!To answer common questions: 1. I'll put the files somewhere next month after I do one more revision, no worries2. I don't really need the money, because the firearms industry is a LOT of work, and I just like to do fun hobbies. 3. I work as a software engineer and this is just a fun side hobby, nothing more than that4. There are a few features I forgot to mention that I'll explain in another video5. I'm currently SUUUper busy with life, but I'll make another video in 2-3 weeksi made this mega pistol from scratch, ring mechanism with magnetic disconnector and striker designno magazine, no springs for ammo follower, just pure conversion of linear motion into rotational motionalso, since the ring uses recoil force to rotate, it absorbs a ton of energy and makes for a super soft shooting gun(drums are bad btw, this is NOT a drum-type mechanism)youtube.com/watch?v=d69pw4PcBmE
Weight balanced RS3 update, (and things i learned from making $800 this week feat curbingWithMikey) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2020-12-26 | I will personally sell a batch of 35 weight balanced RS3M 2020s. These will also feature a special coating and a special fully cut “Skeletonized” logo.I’m trying to teach mikey how to invest money, and he talks about “becky beats the market”I also tell you about how to generate money from selling options on SPACS, because they have a cash backed price floor that secures your cash secured puts. It’s basically free money if you play it safe.Then i tell you about VIX, and how it can tell you the overall volatility of the market. This helps you determine whether or not you should enter new positions. Also you can move your funds into VIX in times of extreme volatility to multiply your money instead of losing half your funds to a crisis.

Rebalancing rotational mass of a cube (maybe one more product LOL) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2020-11-29 | By removing a lot of rotational mass from cubes, we can create a new balance in the way it turns.If you remove all this plastic that doesn't do anything, you can achieve a cube with a different sound and feel, but the SAME performance/corner cuttingWith aggressive cuts, I reduced the mass by 12 grams, and I didn't bother cutting the feet or the centers, because those don't contribute as much to rotational mass. This results into a unique "balanced" feeling that can be applied to any cube lolSending sample to Phil this week, if things work out, I'll crank out ONE BATCH to sell on the cubicle
Functional wooden semi-auto pistol with 3d printed + magnetic mechanism Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2020-11-15 | I wanted lots of features, but there's no gun on the market with the features I want, so I made my own.Wooden externals, aluminum inlay text, true single action striker fired, deep undercut, low bore axis tungsten counter weight, soft recoil spring, and custom fitted to my hand.The disconnector is incredibly tactile, the most tactile i've ever felt, and that's because of the unique magnetic disconnector mechanism I designed. You usually can't use magnets in most guns because they'll attract all the steel dust and foul up, but these internals are 3d printed plastic and don't produce ferrous dust.There's a TPU buffer and the internals are made out of PLA+, which is slightly flexy and much tougher than normal PLA.I'm SUPER happy with this gun I designed and created!!!

Myth busting Vaseline and Life Lessons Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2020-03-04 | 1 drop of vaseline won’t destroy your cube, and actually creates a unique feeling. Don’t use it to replace your silicone based lubes, but it won’t destroy your modern puzzle, no worries there.Jeremy also taught me tons of life lessons and he gave me the inspiration i needed in my dark moments. I can’t say enough good things about him.

improving random state scrambling with slice moves(?) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2020-01-29 | i wrote a script that makes scrambling with slice moves, because people do a lot more these dayssome moves are awkward, but i def think M2 is better than L2. R2 in scrambles
new clock mechanism experiments (no frame bumps) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2020-01-11 | just experimenting with ways to make clock betteri made a drop-in insert that indexes the clock without bumps. This means the gears don’t jump around at all, and they don’t have to do the weird wobble thing that normal clock does.However, this causes a lockup with the buttons, and that’s bad, and a well broken in clock with normal mechanism can outperform this, since it doesn’t have those lockups.this was just a cool experiment i wanted to share, and imma name this mechanism after my homie mikey, I call it the McNeill Mechanism

New hinged box design and Cubicle LubePods Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-10-04 | New hinges boxes are improved in every way. Stronger clasp, lighter, sleeker, and in a festive halloween colour.These release next week, and i hope you all like them.Cubicle LubePods are like Tide Pods except with lube inside. This was my first time using them, and the end result will be much nicer.Single use disposable lube pods that you can carry around instead of bottles. (But i wouldn’t suggest carrying them in your pockets LOL) More convenient and you don’t have to worry about overlubing your cubes.
Impoved Pyraminx Inserts Update (Bosses approved the idea!)

back in new york update video Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-06-18 | boxes have a clear top with printed logo so that you can see the cube inside. they’re not friction locked anymore so they hold even better, and without the scraping noisequality is higher and i can produce them 10 times more than beforeluminox cubes are coming along but i can’t talk about them because there are a few secret features that have never before been done on a cubeonce it’s cleared by the boss then i’ll tell you guys
Quick-swap Magnetic Centers (New Luminox Feature Update) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-05-07 | What if we made the cap the center, and the center the cap, and then put magnets in them?This means we can modulate the width of the plastic, without sacrificing the structural strength of the center! You can change the strength of the magnets just by swapping out the center caps!I will make this a feature for Luminox cubes, I'm still on schedule to have internal testing ready by next month.
[CLASS ASSIGNMENT] Machine Learning Final Project: Virus Genome Data Imputation Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-04-26 | I apply a clustering, followed by an iterative partitioning and sort.The partition creates smaller more precise clusters, and then aligns the data to fit the least disordered shape over 30 iterations
Custom Boxes, Luminox Updates, and Life Advice Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-04-24 | I can now produce custom boxes really fast. They are plastic and friction locked. The custom design is fully plastic and smooth with the box, while still being light.There's still stuff I have to fix, because these were the first ones I made with this new technique, but it'll be good when we release it, I promiseLuminox is coming along, but I'm going to restrict some features because I don't want to sell people bad cubes.There's still going to be lots of custom options such as1. Ridges2. Plastic base colour + plastic additives3. Coating4. Tile Colours5. Magnet radius and Strength6. Plastic Thickness/Weight7. Honeycomb Textures and Tracks8. EVEN MOREThen, I want to release changelogs and model numbers, so people can get better cubes as they are created.Currently I'm testing different plastics and playing with tiles. You can see the quality of the tiles in the video, and they are completely flush with the surface of the plastic, so they feel like a stickerless cube.I have the ability to produce multiple cubes per day, and multiple boxes per hour, so hopefully to keep up with demandLastly, I talk about how computer science and chemistry has taught me that sciences in general co-mingle, and that learning multiple things is good for you. Then I finish off telling you about what Deep Learning/ Machine Learning has taught me
Project Luminox: Generative Cubes 100% Custom Mechanism 3x3s for you!! (10.07 Average) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-02-18 | http://isopropylamine.pythonanywhere.com(Also, all credentials are encrypted securely, so I can't see your password details and it's safe and secure)I talk about Project Luminox and then I get an almost sub-10 average with it. (10.07)10.394, (9.337), (12.747), 10.083, 9.744 = 10.07I combined my cubing knowledge with my chemistry and computer science degree to produce Project Luminox. CUSTOM DESIGN, CUSTOM MAGNETS, CUSTOM PLASTIC, CUSTOM HARDWARE, 100% unique to the creator! Everyone can have their own cube that turns with high quality!WIth our website, you can create your own SUPER MEGA CUSTOM cube with a wide variety of features. The software then combines the features into a cube, and then it is manufactured JUST FOR YOU, a 100% unique cube. The software also ensures that no bad features are combined, and that each cube is at least a minimum standard of quality.Over time, as better combinations of designs and tweaks are introduced into the system, the software will be upgraded and better and better cubes will be produced in the long run. Together with the community, we will design and produce increasingly better cubes!!Thanks to my degree in chemistry, we also have FULL control over the plastic. Hard/soft, slow/fast, flexible/firm, ANYTHING is possible. In the video, I am using a special teflon blend which combines smoothness, toughness, and low friction of teflon.What else makes Luminox cubes unique?Embedded magnets and a 100% SEAMLESS design. The cubies have a completely solid surface all the way around, reducing small microscopic inconsistencies on the surface.In the super long term, we can even take drawings of your personal designs and make them into reality. The possibilities are super mega vast guys, omg I'm excited to show you guys progress on this.Expect it in about half a year, late summer 2019.Internal testing begins in March.HUGE thanks to Mikey for helping program this monumental task.
12 magnet, full magnetic cube (super deep radius) & fun science talk Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-02-09 | I put 12 magnets in the edge foot of a cube, and then put magnetically stripped magnets in the corners.The corners aren’t real magnets, because I pulled out the magnetic field and they’re just inert pieces of sintered neodymium.Because of that, you never get repulsion, because when they touch the magnet, they get a temporary dipole and they give that magnetic “click”If you do this with corners, you’d still get repulsion because the magnets are so close, so it only works with edges. This way also has a super deep radius, but you could hypothetically also achieve this radius using 48 magnets, with a repulsive bump before attraction, which isn’t ideal.This isn’t an idea or product pitch, because when the magnets are so deep, the torque from the turn makes them feel less strong, and to achieve a good tactility, you’d need really really strong magnets.Personally my favourite magnet radius/arrangement is center/edge with my quick-swap rings lmao.
I coded a thing that helps you make cube mosaics (move optimal) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2019-02-06 | 1. Program resizes image to how many cubes you have2. It partitions the image into 3x3 pixel subimages3. It matches cube colours to pixel colours based on cielab colour distance4. It optimally solves a cube face for that subimage5. It compares all four faces and minimizes the move count further6. Arranges the subimages into rows and column coordinates and displays it on screen, along with what colour face to hold up/front, and gives you the optimal sequence to reach that stateWIth this program, we can make mosaics super fast!Especially really big ones!More cool stuff soon, I promise
how to magically remove printed logos on cubes Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-12-20 | Mother's Mag and Aluminium Polish is one of the best ways to remove logos on the Gans, QiYi, and Z-man puzzles. This is how the logo was removed on the old Angstrom Sq-1s when I used to make them.It leaves the parts wonderfully shiny and identical to the other caps.Typical solvents would dull the plastic or mar the surface finish, but the polish has a suuuuper fine abrasive that rubs off the logo perfectly.
Hitting DPS Cap with Rusty Sidearm, Bullet Hell Lich Clear No Mods [Enter The Gungeon] Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-11-15 | If you don't know about Gungeon, watch this video:youtube.com/watch?v=ryQpA86ZC8UBasically, to get these items, you have to beat ridiculous bosses and have the rarest possible combinations of items. Most of the time, you'd only get a handful of these, but I managed to get stupidly rare drops and break the game. Rusty Sidearm is one of the weakest starting items, which is why it's insane that I could hit the DPS cap with it.

MF3RS3 is a really good cube (9.04 Ao5 with CubicleTimer) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-11-14 | Sorry for the crappy video guys, I keep forgetting that my thing records my music really loud.Basically the MF3RS3 is mad good, and I got two LL skips IN A ROW on CAMERA. I react a little too much because of how absurdly rare that is. It was a 7 followed by an 8, which is really good for me!This is a good cube, and you need to get it.CubicleTimer is cool, but I wish the times were displayed a little bigger, and that the histogram was a plot of times with a polynomial curve regression. I think some other timer has that function, but i forgot lol.I also wish you could have custom hotkeys, but these are things we can add, because it's our own timer, give it a try guys.It's a super smooth and slick timer and I highly recommend it.
I invented a better Pringles can Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-11-10 | Download file here if you want one:drive.google.com/open?id=1Tcx5Vzx4RabSWR1dfOzzCYtgvsqMsllrBasically, my hands are big and don't fit the pringles can, so I invented a twist can that dispenses them for me. You just twist the base, and all of the pringles rise up to the top. Normal pringles cans have TONS of room inside, so when you carry the can around, the chips fall around and break.The Pringler only allows 2mm of wiggle room, keeping your pringles intact!!!It fits a WHOLE can of pringles and is basically the same size dimensionally.It turns smooth and it's airtight if you have a 76mm diameter O-ring.The normal pringles lid will fit the can, and the file is toleranced for even low level printers to print it smoothlyif you print one, tell me how it works for you!!!
Gans 356X and Life Advice Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-10-19 | Gans is imo the best company in terms of iterative improvement, because each iteration is always better than the last. For example, the 356X has more facelets/polygons than any other cube on the market (but that's not neccessarily equivalent to a "good" cube, it's just proof of how much engineering goes into their designs. Did I mention their tolerances and engineering? Top notch)The 356X is a solid purchase, and there's a short period of time of getting used to it, but it's good.It's reaaaally close to being my main, but I have a special mf3rs2 that gives me better times.When it comes to success in life, school isn't enough.Sometimes school isn't even necessary, I'm just here for the diploma tbh.You need to chase your passions and practice it everyday, because you'll only get so far with spoonfeeding. You need to love what you do, and expand your horizons, because there's so much stuff you DONT learn in school.Last, don't worry about other people's opinions, unless they're your employer. Everyone else doesn't matter, and when you concern yourself less about what people think, you're set free to do and act however you want.Rules are stupid, don't follow rules because they're rules.Rules were made to protect people, rules are NOT ethics.You can exist within the rules and hurt tons of people, and that makes you the worst guy.Similarly, you can break rules without hurting anyone, and ultimately, what's the difference? Rules suck lmao #sledgangRules don't matter as long as you don't hurt other people.(Which in itself is a rule, but that's the only rule that matters to me)
Tran Algorithm Update Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-09-05 | I've tested a ton of different variations and iterations such as RUF, RUD, Minimising, 2phase with no L /B moves, and the best result was with RUD with a filter.I just ran my program for several minutes, constantly spitting out 3 phase mostly RUD scrambles, and only outputted scrambles 25 moves and below. Even though mathematically the AVERAGE was higher than 25 moves, there are millions, if not hundreds of millions of random states that can be achieved at 25 moves and below.So then I did an average of 50 with normal scrambles, and then with Tran scrambles, and I found that my scrambles took 0.8 seconds slower.The reasons are pretty simple:1. The moves were too ergonomic, and I turned faster than my eyes could read the scramble. With normal scrambles, it's slow enough that I can think ahead and prepare the next move.2. Certain sequences were still NOT ergonomic such as (U2 D) or (D2 U), which led to a slowdown of turning. It was nice when (U D') or (U' D) happened, but it wasn't enough to make up for the difference.3. I've been doing 2-phase scrambles for years, and most people are already super good at scrambling normally, in order for the maximum benefit to occur, people would need to train RUD scrambles for years, and I don't think people are willing to change.4. Ergonomic algs are fast because people practiced them, but with scrambles, you're going in blind. Most cubists aren't good at doing the moves and sequences on the fly.Even with minimising, which is testing a longer phase 1 to get a shorter phase 2, this never led to more than 1 move of difference with three phases, and 90%+ of cases couldn't be minimised.It was a fun project, but intensely frustrating that it didn't work out.Time to work on other projects now! :)
Tran Algorithm (Ergonomic Random State/WCA 3x3 Scramble Program) Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-08-31 | how come with random state WCA scrambles, 2x2 is (R U F) moves and is super ergonomic, and 4x4 is semi-ergonomic with multiphase outer moves into inner moves, but 3x3 isn't ergonomic !???why can't we have a random state 3x3 scrambles that's OPTIMAL 2-gen and a few F and L B D moves thrown in ?That's what the Tran Algorithm is.It takes WCA scrambles, and then converts them into ergonomic scrambles, which minimize regrips and awkward turns with OPTIMAL phasesI talk about why a mathematically random state is important, and why it reduces the luck factor and ridiculous scrambles in this video, as well as how the Tran Algorithm works. It still needs optimizations, but it works in a similar way as the famous Kociemba Algorithm by reducing moves in phases.Kociemba reduces from all possible moves into (R2 L2 F2 B2, U U' U2, D D' D2) into solved state, which reduces all possibilities, states, and computations. Between the two states, each phase is optimal, with an upper bound of 12 and 18 moves respectively.The Tran algorithm reduces from all possible moves into OPTIMAL (R U F) and then OPTIMAL 2-gen (R U)Humphrey used a breadth-first search to get all possible states and sequences up to halfway of the upper bounds of each step. (because with math, you can compute the upper bounds), and then if it's not in that half, it HAS TO BE IN THE OTHER HALF.So the first half is put in a pruning table, which is hashed for near instant access.but what if it can't be solved in 6 moves?Instead of searching backwards from the upper bound like the Kociemba algorithm, the Tran algorithm does a second breadth first search from the state provided, because if it's not in the first half of all possible cases, it's in the second half, and I can prune off BILLIONS of sequences that wouldn't lead to the OPTIMAL case.Long scrambles close to the upper bounds are discarded, and that's okay because there's are several several billions of random states.So yeah, lmao, that's how you find the optimal sequences between states.This yields scrambles that are a few moves longer than the WCA scrambles, so I have to make it more efficient and use different groups and reductions to drop the move count. Already I can see some areas where I'm losing moves, so this is just a matter of time.i'll release to the public in a few weeks, maybe a month or two after i improve it a bunch lmaooo
Lets talk about custom plastic colours and project updates Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-08-15 | Click here to see the new way of dyeing plastic:instagram.com/p/BmSVpEQhY3ai made a new process for dyeing plastic that uses a special binary solvent which is:1. Incredibly fast and low effort2. Scalable for large batches3. Penetrates deeper into the plasticAll that's left is to test if it can withstand daily wear and tear, because the old dyes were bad at that.It can currently withstand fingernail scratching, but I need to test it more thoroughly. If this works, then I will re-evaluate custom colours.Then I update you about project Gamma and explain the obsolete Project Q U I C C (Quaternary Internal Coated Cubes)In engineering, when you have two different surfaces touching, it will have a different property than if they were the same. With QUICC, there are four different plastic surfaces in motion, and no two surfaces in contact will ever be the same material.I used a special vapour phase deposition technique to adhere microscopic fibers to the plastic. This was a stupidly slow process which does not scale very well AT ALL lmao, but created a cube which felt really really nice for the first 200 solves, until the fibers wore off and the coating flaked off.It looked really cool because the vapour phase deposition let me coat the pieces to the edge.Maybe I'll talk more about this in a collective "obsolete coatings" video when I have time.Next week, I will show you a magick trickI will make cubes disappear right before your very eyes.
Info about my Nats Seminar and project updates Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV 2018-08-02 | With my seminars, I like to lead into the main point with some hints and partial information.docs.google.com/presentation/d/1KuGJrDcP44bzOxUwM7mm1rm6sSoC8AICUtALV5q8P1M/edit?usp=sharingI talk about my project Argentum, which will end all secrets in competitive speedcubing.I have a computer program that will do reconstructions from video.It can:1. Ignore Skin2. Track the cube3. Extrapolate between bad framesBut the GoCube and Giiker cube can do it without a tripod or high speed camera.By using a Giiker cube with multiple cameras, you can use deep learning to train Argentum to recognise moves at any angle.It will append all good algs from high level competitors, and then suggest those algs to other people, and now everyone will know those algs too!!Also, I am in NY and I am making some cool new things. I am training people to make compound X and V, and those will be available soon.
