A suggestion I have: I'm sure that the reason you are hesitant to start flicking the cube is that it'll start to fall apart. The individual pieces would probably be fine; however, there's just too much flex. I suggest using thin string/thread superglued to form 4 diagonals in each individual cell. It'll probably bring it back above 30g, but I'd think you'd be able to speed cube much better.
I thought about something similar, but maybe instead of one large hole in each face, he could make three or four smaller holes and leave support plastic in between. He'd probably have to give back the three grams shaved off this time, but it would be with far fewer compromises in function.
this could be solved with a yet still stronger plastic as well, plastic with much less flex but with pretty much the same density, but it would be more expensive. alternatively, the frames could also be made slightly thicker and that would probably provide more support without adding that much extra weight, but it would be a bit harder to make because you'd have to be more precise and careful and more mindful about how much plastic you're removing. the only other idea i have beyond that is, tearing up the plastic yourself in this manner is probably disrupting the structural integrity of the frames of the cube pieces themselves, if you could cast the plastic directly into this shape using a mold, or more realistically just getting them custom-made, that may also improve the sturdiness some.

You could start with drilling small holes instead of removing everything. Then check for structural integrity and drill bigger ones. Rinse and repeat until it's perfect or no longer practical.
I think you could make this somewhat viable by leaving crossbars on the cubes to increase rigity and structural integrity. Like it would take a hell of a lot longer to do by hand but surely it would be worthwhile
Dude. You are a BEAST! Really appreciate your genuine enthusiasm, passion for cubing, & the innovative craftsmanship! (Just spit-balling, here.) I wonder if an actual, REAL, pure carbon fiber cube has ever been made? I bet THAT’d be super light weight & durable! 🤔
Mass helps with rigidity, responsiveness, and then conserving the momentum itself. I think that cube is far off the sweet spot where it's rigid and ideal for cubing. Otherwise you could've made the contacts smoother.
Could yoqu keep the inside pieces of plastic to keep the stability at the cost of a couple more grams? I kinda wanna see how much that would weigh and if the weight to stability ratio is better on that cube
While I don't know much about "cubing" I would say a way to make it move easier and less catchy/bitey would likely be sand the inside edges with increasingly higher and higher grits and lube. The only probably with sanding it is you might remove too much material if you start too low or are not careful. I would suggest the lube firearms use(like a CLP) but I don't know how it would react to the plastic the cube is made of. If not that use some sort of water based lube or whatever lubes are on the market for cubes. The other problem with sanding is the time it will take but to make it smoother it is likely necessary. I would suggest maybe a custom carbon fiber cube. Problem likely expensive to make and finding someone to make one for you. Also it might not even be lighter at that scale.
I was trying to think of what your voice reminded me of, and then it hit me. I hope someone recognizes this quote: "It melts away time, so you can tune in to the future!"
a minimal surface area cube would be cool, though it probably wouldnt retain its cube shape too well alternatively you can see how much more weight can be saved if you ignore keeping it cub shaped, by shaving down all the corners so that its more spherical, itll still be the same puzzle, just ball
If you ever have the ability to do so (and the funding), you should totally attempt making one out of aerogel. I have no idea how it would work if it would work at all, but it would probably weigh literally nothing.
If you used heat shrink to re-cover the squares, the tension from the heat shrink might give the cube its rigidity back, granted, it would tighten the cube because tolerances, and it might need some light lubing because i dont think heatshrink is as smooth a material as speed cube plastic. but thin heat shrink might only add 10/15 grams? just a cool thought and maybe worth a try on one of the pieces. Cool video though
If you actually cut a little less material away, you might be able to make a more sturdy cube and it might actually be an actual lightest speedcube that could be competition standard. Please try it. You might be able to market it and change speed cubing! Cheers
The dancing has broadly mad notches witch is creating friction that is slowing the cube down try and reduce the friction between the individual pieces and it might improve the turn quality
You might want to leave one diagonal line per face on the pieces so retain integrity. That way it will not deform so easily and you might be able to apply more force. This style of cube would probably look great on metal wires, probably aluminum to keep on the light side.
im sad that i am just to confused to solve a rubix cube ive had for about 3-4 years just school has been rough and i have ADHD so its rough but im happy to see that speed-cubing is still up and running!

More holes, not bigger holes. A mesh is almost as light as a hole, but a lot stronger.

When you cut the individual cubes don’t cut out the parts that touch another so that it’ll turn faster and more reliable
A company should actually make a cube that looks like this using professional techniques and more durable plastic.
