Competition Update: I spent a few more days practicing and did way better than expected with a 1:01.44 (un)official average! Check out the video here: czcams.com/video/mNnRPOyYSUI/video.html
Great to see you finally make a video on the diansheng. It is seriously a game changer. I went from averaging adound 38 seconds with the 3d printed rexto to becoming sub 20 on the diansheng, which makes me 4th in the world. I love seeing the hype around this event and seeing how quickly the community is growing. If we can keep this up, the chances that it becomes official skyrockets. #FTOforWCA
Here's a list of some of the icosahedral twisty puzzles that have been made: - Icosaix - Radiolarian (1) - Radiolarian (2) - Radio Canon - Radio 3 - Eitan's Star - Eitan's Nebula - Cat's Cradle (Radiolarian 5) - Radio Web - Radio Jewel - Radio Jam - Radio Crystal - Radio Star - Radio Nebula - Radio Gem - Radio Fathom - Radio Chop - Tutt's Icosaminx - Regular Astrominx - Astrominx - Icosamate - Master Icosamate - Elite Icosamate - Royal Icosamate - Icosahedral Megaminx - Icosahedral Kilominx - Clover Icosahedron D1 - Greenhill's Icosahedron - Icoctahedron (designed by Raphael) - Crazy Radiolarian - FTO Icosahedron - Ivy Icosaeder
So i recently got into fto speedsolving, and i'm averaging around sub 1:10 and I did a small mod to the diansheng that in my opinion made it 500% better. You can take off the caps of the corners and you can see the magnets on the side. If you take some 3x2 mm magnets/whatever size you have, and put them on top of the normal magnets it makes the cube feel more stable and if also feels more pop resistant and lets you turn faster without having to worry about lockups.
I picked one up while I was in Guangzhou recently. Probably the hardest twisty puzzle I've managed to solve without consulting a guide. The light turning made coming up with longer algs (and performing them repeatedly quickly) much easier.
8:39 Well thankfully you do have a stickered RexTO, so switching your color scheme won't be too tough, thankfully I thought ahead when ordering my custom stickerless RexTO, and asked to get the diangsheng color scheme on it so I could get a head start on getting used to the color scheme
@@Z3Cubing yeah indeed, I do believe that most people will commit to this Color Scheme as it'll be considered the more "common" color scheme and it's pretty tough to swap around caps in the Diansheng FTO
Regarding the last step, it's easy to forget the alg or to be inefficient building triples - I strongly recommend looking up 2 look TCP which makes the last phase easier; and I have a video on my channel showing how you can solve the very last step using 3x3 OLL algs. This is helpful because you can stop practicing for a bit yet not forget how to solve.
I love FTO, with the diansheng I went from being pretty good on my rexTO (about low 30) to top 10 in the world (in 2/4 categories), the community is also super wholesome and we love developing new algs and techniques every day and it's pretty fun
1:09 Regarding the color scheme, you can switch around the edge and corner caps to your preferred one, but it takes some effort and tools to do it. Believe me, it's pain as I separated the colored parts with a small flathead screwdriver and caused wounds on my fingertips. But it's worth it once you put it back together.
Hello! Love the channel! Is there any chance you could do a review of the other diansheng big cubes? Your review of the 10x10 was super helpful and while I'm definitely tempted by their higher order cubes, they get quite pricey and i don't want to spend the money if just don't perform well
This puzzle is such a game changer! I previously only had the *old* Diansheng FTO from many years ago, which is similar to the LanLan, and my PB on that puzzle was 1:41 Two weeks with the new Diansheng, and I have a 45 second PB and nearly have my Ao100 under one minute
FTO just in my opinion is kinda an underwhelming name compared to like cube, pyraminx, megaminx etc. just in my opinion, I'm completely fine with it but only *IF* i were to name it it would be like "protominx" referring to particles. it's not like i don't like the name i'm just saying it could be better?(plz no bully in replies)
I'm not sure if it can be named as anything-minx, since that has been reserved for every variations of megaminx. I can see how Octaminx could be an exception, like pyraminx, but then those three would have really similar sounding names which would make them appear like they're the same kind of puzzle (like 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc), even though that's clearly not the case
There’s mostly shape mods of 3x3s that have the corners cut, however this clover puzzle is a good one czcams.com/video/l-wQxTiKBvk/video.htmlsi=lrKvGc14noNXheRa
What's not to understand? It's very unique, is a platonic solid, has good hardware now, and so many people are getting into it. Not to mention how fun it is and how high the chances seem to be for it to be the next official wca event. Whether you yourself have joined the hype train, the train will continue to chug along

I really enjoyed seeing the whole process and dedication!
“Me slow at poke cube” and this one is more poke
Nah, pyraminx is definitely pokier.
@@Z3Cubing how about a 3x3 covered in push pins?
@@Z3Cubing ok. But here is a true statement: “We are both slow at Poke cube”. I do average a bit slower than you
5:50 The food hadn't been touched at all.
Z3: yum.
he is talking about the cube 😊
Now he’s gonna mod the diansheng FTO into a top of the line 3x3
Moments like 6:58 make me remember that he's a person and not just a pair of floating hands
8:39 Well thankfully you do have a stickered RexTO, so switching your color scheme won't be too tough, thankfully I thought ahead when ordering my custom stickerless RexTO, and asked to get the diangsheng color scheme on it so I could get a head start on getting used to the color scheme

I'm still waiting for a Face Turning Icosahedron
It's already a thing. It's called the icosaix but unfortunately it's not sold anymore in thecubicle
"the colors all look great with the notable exception of gray, ew"
💀
They could’ve at least chose a sort of bright pink or cyan though, don’t you agree?
Maybe black
Time to make a Workout-FTO, combining heavy weights, stiff springs and powerful magnets… but also a nice grippy texture.
1:09 Regarding the color scheme, you can switch around the edge and corner caps to your preferred one, but it takes some effort and tools to do it. Believe me, it's pain as I separated the colored parts with a small flathead screwdriver and caused wounds on my fingertips. But it's worth it once you put it back together.
I figured you could, but instead I'm just betting on this color scheme becoming more popular so I never have to worry about it. xD

Honestly a good point. We don’t call megaminxes “FTDs” so I think a minx name would be okay (although we are very used to saying fto now)
Considering everything, it’s likely it would be named like octaminx or something like that
I'm not sure if it can be named as anything-minx, since that has been reserved for every variations of megaminx. I can see how Octaminx could be an exception, like pyraminx, but then those three would have really similar sounding names which would make them appear like they're the same kind of puzzle (like 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc), even though that's clearly not the case

Try solving all WCA puzzles but with Fewest Move Count
Maybe you should try making force FTO
Gan should make an fto
yayyy z3 uploaded!
FTO one turn per mile when
Oh damn, thats quick
Hey Zalex 3alker, you should make a video about the GAN 356 I Carry 2!

Wouldn't it be funny if the Master FTO became an event instead of the regular FTO
I would quit
I'm curious on how the internals of that thing works
