    Default Assembling A Maru 4x4x4...

    ...makes my head explode.

    Does anyone have any advice on keeping everything held together during assembly? I pretty much know what I have to do to assemble the cube, but the problem is I can't do it. After assembling the pieces between centers, I manage to the same between one of those centers and another one, but can't manage to connect things between 3 centers yet. Keeping previous ones held together is difficult while assembling another one. So basically... HELP!?

    And is there a specific way is has to be assembled? This is because the centers aren't all exactly the same inside, and I'd like to not get anything wrong. <_<

    ?

    I haven't tried diassembling/assembling yet but I read somewhere that Dan used tape to hold some pieces together
    1 corner and 1 edge solved, 6 corner targets, 10 edge targets = pwn

    If it is as annoying as an Eastsheen, and it is probably worse, I will shoot myself.

    yes. I used tape to hold everything that I got put together in place. Used probably way too much tape, but it was worth it imo.

    *8 days for me

    I guess I'll go get some tape later... >_< I bet it'll work to hold things together, but ripping it off causes things to fall apart once more.

    Eastsheen is EASY.
    YJ 4x4 is EASY...Easier if you know how to assemble a V6

    doesn't even compare. YJ was crap from the beginning anyway.

    unless you've tried it, don't say a thing. You have NO clue how bad it is.
