No, def not. Unless they sell them for a grand a piece. It takes them two hours just to make the one cube.

@@joshandkorinna that's just the cut time. Just think of all the material handling and grinding for finish.

@@skrewup7354 mezmo I think

@@joshandkorinna if I get you one for 200 will u buy it?

@@PHANTOM-vd2sn No thats too much. I'd pay maybe 15 bucks for one. This is why it's not economical to manufacture these and sell them. People aren't going to pay what it costs to manufacture them.

@@RoadnTech i dont think you can math

@@RoadnTech the cost of the block and wasted material is minimal in comparison to the cost of machine time, the operators wage and the programmers wage as well. This does not even consider the time that it takes to actually prep the stock and square it up before it is even usable by the machinist. The material is hardly the issue with the cost of precision milling of any sort, not just wire edm. Unless you are milling something like titanium or some other costly metal, steel and aluminum is relatively very cheap.

@@RoadnTech “easily” What are your credentials? Because it really seems like you’re talking out of your ass

@Joseph K If you spend more than $250, you're an idiot

@@Crypto-Legend what are you basing that off of?

That's what I was thinking too, but as soon as they put up the block with the four pieces marked to be cut it made a lot more sense.🤦‍♂️

if you think about it, you can cut very precise, but not indefinetly thin

This would be very nearly impossible. In order to cut anything you need to remove some material. Even if it's a couple of atoms thin. Meaning that a block of material cut in half even with the most precise and wasteful technique will have less material than it did when it was in one piece.

well that's impossible because the cutting wire that should be used for that must be a lot thinner than a strand of hair which is sure going to be not strong enough to cut steel, I always thought it's separate parts and I'm right

@@Quicksilver_Cookie shears obviously not possible for the metal cube we're seeing here, but in general. A block cut in half can have the same amount of material after the cut.

Until the tempurate changes and the door is sealed shut.

@@sbfguy7793 We still haven't discovered anywhere near every metal in existence. It's very probable there is a metal out there that is almost virtually unaffected by any thermal changes it would experience in regular use. But melting and forging such metal would also be such a pain.

@@vettebodee that would be awesome.

@@vettebodee that would be a material wasted on a door. I mean its good if you can see a door if you asl me xD

@@sbfguy7793 As a plot point that would be so funny. The aliens arrive and can't get out because earth is a few hundred degrees cooler than wherever they're from.

How much a molding machine cost? And what s brand and model name ?

@@polkyys There is popular brands like Arburg and Engel, these machines usually cost around 30,000 up to 100,000 (or more) dollar.

We (and many shops) been making cool, close fitting stuff with WEDM every day for years. For making specialty tools and molds for industry. Making tangible and useful things is a lot more satisfying than spreadsheets and financial statements.

I got to handle one at a trade show once that was like that but a very complex spline instead of puzzle pieces. Actually feels pretty weird, when trying to put it together any slight misalignment will stop it. You have to kind of jiggle the pieces to get them to fall into the right place, then it just glides down.

Not only that, but also how important this is for any mass manufactured product and one of the parts that make economy of scale shine.

One complete mold for our plastic injection molding machines costs 600.000$ for a reason.

How long does a mold made to this tolerance requirement typically last? Or rather, how many plastic pieces can typically be made before the mold is considered worn?

​@@wizewizard1840why is your mold so expensive?

And cube theft!

lmao

Or .0001 of an inch ,most machines shops use decimal.

They were just trying to emphasize how small it was. Normally you would say a 1/10000 of an inch.

At least they're using powers of 10 here. I guess they'll come to their senses sooner or later. Aaaany minute now...

1/10 of 1/10 of 1/10 of 1/10 of an inch.

Honestly that is mostly the grinding. I would guess by how free it moves they have about a .00025" clearance in there. Even at that tight of tolerances there is still be pretty visible lines from the clearance. However when you grind it, some material is displaced in to the clearance gap, kind of bridging the gap and effectively making it invisible to the human eye.

This wasn't ad, this is tutorial. XD

Might be hard to give individual faces the colours - but yeah, that would be amazing

Problem with that is that you'd need to twist it perfectly, almost down to the atom, in order to do more than one twist.

Newer wire machines can hold tolerances of ±0.00002" (twenty millionths!) but it takes something like 7 or 8 passes with progressively lower power settings on the cut.

no it costs a ton of money to make these

I think pleasure is more important than money 😊​@@aperson696

Well, I wish they could but I understand so it’s aight

I would happily pay 100-200$ for one of these things.

@@GRAITOM doubt you will get one for that price. These are holding 10ths , making a part to the 10th isn't cheap

Yeah, EDM is a slow and precise machine

Aye, let rich people spend their money and auction them. Would be a profitable opportunity for the marketing department for a limited run

Nope. Not worth it.

You'd never be able to keep it that way with the amount of thermal expansion on something so big. There'd be gaps in the winter, and it would jam in the summer.

IMAGINE

Ok give me 10k$ i can make you a few

Lol, it would be at leas few hundred bucks for a set, if not more than 1000$.

It's possible by using an electrode shaped like a tap split longitudinally to cut internal threads. The electrode would cut just like a tap by first cutting threads on one side and then slowly rotating while moving down similar to a thread cutting mill. A similar technique could be used for external threads. I assume copper or brass would be used for the electrode to create the fine details. It's probably not very practical and a thread cutting mill would be faster and easier.

Never say never. I'm hoping the cube will go on sale eventually lol.

Please *PLEASE* Sell the cube _Pretty please?_

:((( give me that cube used for demonstration

Please 🥺 sell some of it

Aww man I'd pay top dollar for something that satisfying

According to a comment on this video, these cubes would cost $1500 each because they're crazy expensive to make.

@@profex. Tight tolerances like this would cost about 10 grand apiece.

You couldn't afford it.

it would cost 1000s of dollars. If you emailed them and said 'ill pay you a couple grand to make one for me' they might do it, but it doesn't make sense on a commericial scale.

Can hook you up with one, 1700$

@@kobalov1 if u want that ?

if you emailed them offering a couple grand they might, because it would cost a couple grand.

They would lose a lot of money on every one they sold

That's .0001 inches, or 0.0025 mm - insanely small, considering most machining applications only require a tolerance of .005 inches (~0.01 mm).

Make it out of Iridium.

Not even close to what this costs to make.

Ahmm.... it took 2+ hours to just cut it out minus all the hours planing grinding, the materials used, labor, skill, accessibility to the super duper expensive equipment. I'd say that piece is around 500$ on the low end 1000$ on the high.
