      You should make another one, but with the cube unsolved so you trigger everyone's OCD.....

      Been watching a lot of your videos! Some things I’d love to see set in resin that I don’t *think* you’ve done yet: Legos (unassembled), pipe cleaners, dyed toothpicks, yarn! And maybe some Christmas tree tinsel.

    Something I've noticed between you and others I watch who use resin, why don't you wear PPE while working with it? I've gotten it on my skin before and it wasn't pleasant (though not as bad as it could have been with a quicker curing epoxy or a larger amount) when I went to clean it off. Is the brand you use more skin safe comparatively to others? Love both those cubes in spheres, either way. The way they seem to twist and deform depending on the angle is awesome!
