Any help on Magnetizing a Yuxin Little Magic? The corners don't want to come apart.
I had no problem magnetizing mine. Try wedging a small flathead screwdriver on the seam of the pieces. That's what I usually do to get difficult pieces apart.Any help on Magnetizing a Yuxin Little Magic? The corners don't want to come apart.

I just started cubing and ordered a number of cubes (not so much for cubing with all of them, but as a collection) which I plan to magnetize if possible. I found quite some info for most of the cubes but I haven't seen a thread or video about the Yulong. I wonder if you can magnetize that cube with the usual 4x2mm disc magnets due to the construction of the corner pieces with that additional plastic piece in the center to connect the sides.
Has anybody already put magnets in their Yulong and did you run into any problems with those corner pieces? Would you rather use N35 or N50 ones?

I've magnetized 2 Wujis. 4x1 n52 are fantastic in the corners. I used 4x2 n38 in the edges for both. I thought the black one I did first was great, a few other people thought the magnets were too strong. I think the magnets in the stickerless one I did most recently are too strong. I'd run the calculations, but I think moving down to 4x1.5 n38 would be about right, possibly as weak as 4x1.5 n35. I can't speak to what magnets the cube shops use, except to say that I usually prefer stronger magnets than other people are used to.Just got my new QiYi WuJi 7x7. It's terrible out the box, so I'm going to have to do a a fair amount of work on it. I want to magnetise it. What magnets have you guys used on the WuJi ? Any idea what magnets the likes of TheCubicle and Speedcubeshop use for the WuJi ?
Currently I have 4x2N35, 3x2N38, 5x1.5N38 and a few 4x1.5N42 ... but not enough to do the whole cube.I've magnetized 2 Wujis. 4x1 n52 are fantastic in the corners.

Did the 4x2's fit ok ? In my Aofu that I did the biggest I could get in was 3x2's in the edges and 3x1's in the corners which is not enough for my personal preference. I much prefer stronger magnets. I may need to order from Gaussboys ... it's the shipping from the States that makes it expensive and I don't feel like waiting 3 months to get something off of eBay which is a hit-and-miss at best.
Same here except what about a Valk 3 Power? Strong or lite kit on the Cubicle?What would anyone recommend using for a Thunderclap 4x4 mini? I plan on magnetizing mine. (Sorry if this was already asked, I am much too lazy to look through 30+ pages of questions.)
Does anyone have any suggestions for removing magnets (and replacing with different strength) from cubes with slots? I want to change the magnets in my Aosu GTSM but I can’t get the magnets out. I’ve tried goo gone and acetone along with wedging it out with a screwdriver. Nothing has worked
I'm not especially happy with the WuQue I magnetized. I think for 5x5 you want weaker magnets on the outer layers. I used 4x2 n38 on the inner layers, 4x1.5 n38 on the outer layers on the Wushuang I did. I thought the balance was pretty good, maybe the magnets were overall a little strong. @Ghost Cuber has that puzzle now, if you want to ask another opinion on that setup I'm sure he wouldn't mind.I read some pages of this thread and I saw some videos but I can't decide what are the best magnets for these puzzles:
WuQue - maybe 4x1.5 n38 (or 1/8 x 1/16 inch N48?) inner and outer 5x1 N48?
WuShuang - maybe full N38 4x1.5?
Yuxin Cloud - ?
I have a DIY GTS2M
One of the magnets is loose. Is there any optimal way to put it back in?

I saw another post you made about the WuShuang that said you used 4x2 N35 (stronger than 4x1.5 N38) on the outer layers. You said the balance between outer and inner were good.
Which do you think would be a better balance for the outer layers when using 4x2 N38 on the inner layers? 4x1.5 N38 or 4x2 N35?
Here's why I ask.
The 4x1.5 N38 magnets are 75% as strong as the inner layers, whereas 4x2 N35 magnets are 92% as strong as the inner layers. I would think that 75% would be ideal. What are your thoughts on that?
