# Designing a Black Dayan Zhanchi to a Steam Punk Cube

Hey guys,

So I just started to learn to solve the 3x3x3 last week, and got so addicted...
I already bought like 6 cubes just to tested out which one I like best.
So far I like the Dayan Guhong best, and decided to sacrifice my Zhanchi for my art project.
So I wanted to create a "steam punk" version of the cube.
It took me around 5-6 hours total, and I'm finally finished today, just wanted to share the joy~~~
Check it out and let me know what you guys think!^^

Thanks~~~

Great work! Is it solvable? Or just a display piece?

Thanks all for the good comments! I'm so grateful^^

It is solvable. I tried couple times already.
But it's hard for me because I don't remember which color belongs to which side. lol
It is definitely not a speedcube tho ...

Looks really nice! Sad you had to use a Zanchi though there's like $3 cubes you could have sacrificed. #### megaminxwin ##### Current Clock NR Holder Whoa... that's really really cool! #### brian724080 ##### Member That looks really nice!

Isn't it a Zhanchi? #### DeeDubb ##### Member How is it not a speedcube? Isn't it a Zhanchi? I'm guessing the mods probably messed with it's turning ability. #### Rocky0701 ##### Member Looks really nice! Sad you had to use a Zanchi though there's like$3 cubes you could have sacrificed.
I think the fact that it is a Zhanchi makes it even cooler! I am shocked that it only took you 5-6 hours.

Yeah, I used a Zhanchi because I wanted to be a smoothly cube.
It still turns smoothly, but since I had one of the clock hands sticking out, it kind of blocks the way.
But the clock hand is movable, so I'll just have to move it away a bit so it won't block.
It is more of a novelty cube I guess ^^ Just to look at, and play a little.. not for speed solving.. lol

Your work is quite a piece of art I'd say. Looks amazing, but I have a question that might seems stupid for some of you so yeah here it comes :

Could someone please explain me what "steam punk" means ?
