Rubik's Cube Cubed

A Dutch man has set the record for the world’s most complex Rubik’s Cube. But what’s even more fascinating than the puzzle is the fact that it was created by a 3D printer. Oskar van Deventer used Shapeways, the Dutch rapid-prototyping giant, to produce a cube that’s got a whopping 17 rows and columns on each side (beating out the old record of 12) and making game geeks everywhere drool with envy. Over the Top, as the puzzle is called, was printed in 1,539 individual tiles, resulting in a fully functioning 5.5-inch cube. $2,000 gets you a DIY kit.
