Edition CIC7.1 - 1st BVMW Employers Sled Cup

The major license CIC7 is now opened for Cube Editions that correspond to Events. First of them was made for the 1st BVMW Employers Sled Cup taking place in Ilmenau, Sep. 18, 2009. The Edition is made up of 10 pieces, so it's a pretty limited edition. Too bad, only the winners and some selected persons, such as Hans Rinn (Pic), got one of them. The event was great and it seems there will be a successor in 2010! (EB)

Derived from the 4x4 Cube Rack Kickelhahn (CRKH), two new Cube Racks are available: the 3x3 Cube Rack Schneekopf (CRSK) and the 2x2 Cube Rack Lindenberg (CRLB). The new Racks are pretty similar to CRKH except for the fix base plate. All three Racks are named after Thuringian hills. The Racks are pretty soon available in the Cube Shop. (EB)

Cube Rack Kickelhahn

The Cube Rack Kickelhahn (CRKH) is now available! We found a producer who makes this 16-Cubes Rack in good quality for a pretty fair price. The frame is made from wood, the rods are from anodized aluminium. There are different colors available for the wood part. Also CRKH offers a flexible concept for the base plate as you can choose one of four different models. Additionally spacers are available. The Rack is shortly available in the Cube Shop. (EB)

Cube-based Galleries

The CubeMap, which is an index similar to a Site Map but for Cubes instead of HTML pages, provides now a new feature, by means of a further column. These entries link directly to the Cube-tagged images in the PhotoBucket image repository. So for each Cube Edition the existing images (both official and community) are available by a single mouse click. (EB)

New Anodizing Colors

In cooperation with FISCHER surface technology for the fine mechanics we have now more anodizing colors. Red, green, blue, orange and gold are now available. The advantage of anodizing is that it is a valuable yet inexpensive way for surface finishing. (EB)
