A deep cut puzzle is a puzzle in which any turn affects all faces of the cube, so for example skewb is a deep cut puzzle because a turn swaps edges or corners or both on all faces

I'm not sure I understand.

This MF8 Starminx II is called deep cut too, but as I can see, it contains three layers, and turning the top side does not affect the bottom side.

No no no, a deep cut puzzle is a puzzle where the cuts divide the puzzle into 2 groups of identical pieces. For example, the 2x2 and skewb are deep cut. The Mf8 starminx isn't deep cut actually, not sure why they called it that.

Does anyone know if Dayan stopped producing the Panshi? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Well, I have a guess:

So this is the Starminx.

The Starminx I, as you can see here, has the same lines and outlook, but turning a side is further from the center.

However, in te case of Starminx II, turning a side is deeper, affects more elements.

That's why I thought the definition of a deep cut is something like this, turning a side is somehow deeper than the shallow cut version.

Those 2 puzzles are fundamentally different. One is corner turning and the other is face turning. You can't really compare the depth of the two.

The best analog to compare the face turning starminx with is the megaminx.

How can i make a bandagable lego cube???

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

Will tightening screws prevent popping on a v-cube 7 or just make turning slower?

Probably both
Maybe working on your turning can help more with the popping?

Since when did v-cube make adjustable core???

Because of the question asked, I assumed ViolaBouquet to have an adjustable core

You are pretty far off now...

But anyway, LL can be improved very easily.
Ideal splits:
1.875
7.5
2.475
