Just finished the mod. Used a nail fail. Took me about 2 hours. Actually not that hard. And the cube doesnt lock up at all, unless my turning is off . Great mod.
Should be able to upload the tutorial at around 8 or 9 tomorrow (Australien time)
Tutorial for what?
The epic Florian 5x5 mod
Florian - why don't you sell pre-modded cubes? You could be the Lubix of big cubes.
center corner* twistsWTF? Corner twists on a SS5x5?
center corner* twists
woops lol sorry
Sorry for bumping a 3-month old thread, but I've been searching the forums for an answer.
I did a similar modification on my shengshou 6x6, but after doing so the outer edges started to pop more often.
I tried tightening the core, but an quarter turn more just made it really stiff and hard to turn (I even had dayan springs in it)
I ended up tightening it an eighth turn for each screw. The edges did pop less, but it's kinda slow now.
I'm wondering if doing a similar mod on the shengshou 5x5 would make the edges more prone to popping. So far I've done everything in Florian's video on my 5x5 except for the edges (I left the longest mod for last )
So far my 5x5 holds up pretty well to my abuse in the 100 or so solves I did with it since I reassembled it, with only a couple center corner twists and very few lockups. So, if I do the mod on the edges, will the popping rate go up?
Hey, I just read 9 pages of this thread and just I really want to do this mod. Just want to check my understanding. So first I dissemble it. Replace the screws and spring with dayans. Next take the 4 types of pieces and sand/demel them down to look like a zhanchi. And then lube the core put it back together, tension and done. Please tell me if I am correct.
Also when you do this mod this help it not lock up, faster smoother turning. Because my SS 5x5 is really stiff I loosen it and it's alright it does pop and lock up. When I get to the 3x3 part it takes me about a minute to fully finish it. When I average 23 seconds on my zhanchi. Will this help? Also my SS is not lube right now.
Thanks! I tweaked the screws by like 1/32 turns (yeah, hella precise man) until I got to a point where I was satisfied. Now, my ss 6x6 outer edges only pop out when I get really forceful, and it also isn't that slow anymore.No it won't, your problem might be the tensions, tweak them a bit, it might take a while but it's well worth it in the end.
