Seen few days ago in Megastructures. While visiting NASA chap was showed the fabrication process, including the baking. Cubes go out bright yellow-orange, while speaking they cool, going grey near the corner but still noticeably orange at the face center.

Comment under that video:
Had a pinball machine growing up. It was SO loud I only played when no one was home. Got home from school and it was gone. I asked why my parents sold it. "No one plays it."
