For those saying +40 degrees is impossible

[Samlambert]

So, I keep hearing that cutting corners from 40 degrees and over is impossible. Well, let me prove you wrong.

EDIT: In this video, after calculations, the corner cutting seems to be around 42.94 degrees (Thanks to Rubik's Cube Fan).

Core: Old Type A
Springs: Type D
Screws: Type D
Centers: Type D
Corners: Old Type A
Edges: Old Type A

Highest tension minus 1/4 turn
Lube: Jig-A-Loo (Dissassemble, 2 full sweeps, work in for about 10 minutes.)

Video removed as I felt it was now useless

DUDE!!! whats your cube!!! thats gawd like !!! how well is it over all?

 

[Samlambert]

Old type A core
Type D Springs/Screws/Centers
Old type A cubies

It's the best cube I ever had, it turns super fast (can do U3, even U4 is possible, U2 is possible with an index flick), it almost never pops (I think I've gotten like 1 or 2 pops this week), corner cutting, well, you just saw it. Overall it's an awesome cube, best hybrid IMO

Now do an average with the same tension...

 

[Samlambert]

pcharles, I didnt touch the tension, but just for you, I'll make a video showing the same corner cutting, then doing a few solves and then a bunch of fast permutations, is that good for you?

(Currently uploading the video)

 

[Rubixcubematt]

type d corners or type d centers????

 

[Samlambert]

Type D centers (sorry 'bout that lol)

 

[Odin]

im going to by a type D just to make this hybrid....!!

 

[Samlambert]

Now do an average with the same tension...

Here you go, just for you pcharles93.

(New vid, doesn't really fit with the comment above.)

"The video you have requested is not available.

If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process" whats up with that ?

 

[Samlambert]

It's still being processed, only uploaded it like 30 seconds ago.

EDIT: Video up.

I just tried the hybrid. It's just too fast and it overshoots. The tension was at max.

 

[Samlambert]

Doesn't do that for me Vulosity.

 

[Ellis]

that cube looks so nice

 

[Samlambert]

Trust me, it is.

Samlambert: can be more accurate with this hybrid description? I get lost with the mix of cubies (i know that type d screws only work with type d centers, but the cubies...?)

Thanks

 

[Samlambert]

Core: Old Type A
Springs: Type D
Screws: Type D
Centers: Type D

Thanks man! i will try this combo!!! Any tip for lube?
