I made this because I noticed something cool!

It turns out that the whole screw+internal piece wasn’t unique to the Gans 356! It was actually preceded by the rubik’s 30th anniversary cube!

And the pieces ARE COMPATIBLE! (With several several hours of hard effort)
Once you remove the screws, the internal pieces can actually be screwed into eachother. I had to jig them together so that they’d be straight, and I tacked them with superglue before using a total of 2 mL of superglue to make sure the pieces were strong.

The center caps had to be shaped, which was a tough thing to do. Luckily, they came pre-drilled and I just had to be careful with a file.

With care, they were pretty flush!

The pieces had to be shaped, which was the longest part of the process, but with a dremel, it wasn't so bad.

After some stickering and lubicle weight 1, it was good to go!

The end product feels and sounds like a normal Gans 356! It's heavier than the Gans, but lighter than the rubik's 30th anniversary, so it's a managable weight. Here's a video of how it turns:

Here's an update post:

For weight, It's somewhere between a YuXin 4x4 and a Moyu Aolong V2.
