Magnetic big puzzles

[One Wheel]

Qiyi Wushuang M. 4x2 n35s in the corners, 4x2 n38s for the inner slices. It was over lubed and very tight when I got it. I loosened it, wiped the lube off the pieces, and re-lubed the pieces with Silk, in addition to magnetizing it. Black plastic, stock (very slightly chipped) stickers.

Qiyi Qiheng S megaminx, with 2 4x2mm n50 magnets in each edge and 5 4x2mm n50 magnets in each center piece, for a total of 120 magnets. All polarities are correct. Not exceptionally strong magnetic pull, but it's definitely smoother with magnets than without. Lubed with Cubicle Wt. 5 on the core, it will be better if it has a few more solves before lubing the pieces. This is a very difficult puzzle to magnetize.

Cyclone Boys G6 M. There's a reason the G6 hasn't taken over the top-end 6x6 market, on the other hand this is possibly the cheapest magnetic 6x6 you can get. It's not terrible: I average around 5:30-5:40 on my Aoshi M, and my first solve on this I messed up PLL parity and still got a 5:00.xx. I think with some break-in and lube it could actually be a pretty good puzzle. 4x2 n35s on the outer layers, 4x2 n38s between inner and outer wings, 4x1 n52s on the inner slice. If you're good at 6x6 and willing to give me a thorough review of what you think of the magnets I can work on price. This is the second 6x6 I've magnetized. My next magnetization project is a Wuji, but once I get that done I'd like to do a Yuxin Red, and I want it to be really good. This was just practice.

$50 including US shipping OBO for any one, $140 OBO for all three.

Bumping for another puzzle:

Qiyi Wuji M. This puzzle is GOOD! I've done 2 solves and have a PB Mo3. 4x1 N52 in the corners, 4x2 n38 everywhere else. Lubed with Silk. I had intended to ask an even $100 for this one, and it's probably good enough, but it was a little faster than I thought to magnetize it. Black plastic, stock stickers. I did one solve before I magnetized it and two after, otherwise brand new. In the original box. I don't particularly want to make a lot of these, so if you want me to make one for you it will have to be at least $100, but I can go lower on this one since it's a one-off at this point. I have $46.70 into the puzzle and magnets, and about 4-5 hours of labor. Make a reasonable offer.

Just out of curiosity, where do you buy your magnets?

 

[One Wheel]

Gaussboys

 

[Evan Schwartz]

Okay, That's where I buy too. You seem like you make a lot of magnetic mods and I was wondering if there is a better place to buy.

I think there are cheaper places, but @DMCubing is right that gaussboys quality is higher. I've gotten magnets from ebay that were pretty pathetic. I've just finished a batch of magnetic puzzles, now I need to sell them to buy more puzzles and magnets. All told I've magnetized:

3x3:
Big Sail
Yulong
Warrior W

4x4:
Blue

5x5:
Weichuang
Wushuang

6x6:
Aoshi
G6

7x7:
Yufu (no corners)
Wuji

Megaminx:
Qiyi

The Blue, the Warrior W, and the Wuji are the best.

How much for the Big sail? I am planning to make one myself, but if you are willing to sell for a good price I may consider.

 

[Evan Schwartz]

Also, is it 60mm or 68mm?

I actually lost that one. I have the magnets to make a new one, but I got a 60mm to magnetize and found out that while the 68mm is very easy to magnetize, the 60mm has posts through the middle of the pieces. You might be able to dremel them out, but I figured it was worth just getting a 68mm instead.

These are still sitting around, and I want to get rid of them. Therefore: lower prices.

Wuji: $85, and I'll knock off another $15 for a thorough review published on an established youtube channel (and the link posted here). The review doesn't need to be positive, just thorough and honest, and I believe if it is honest it will be positive.

Wushuang: $45, $5 for a review. I can't figure out how to make this less sluggish. If you can it would make a really good puzzle, but I don't like it as well as my Weichuang.

Qiyi Qiheng megaminx: $35, I don't care about a youtube review, but I'd be happy to get feedback. Realistically this one probably isn't any better than a well-set-up non-magnetic Galaxy, but it's got a lot more work into it.

CB G6: $50, $10 for a review. I've been breaking this one in, and I've broken all my PBs. I think the inner layer magnets are a bit strong, and there's a reason this is a budget 6x6, but otherwise it's great. I really enjoy it, and I'd keep it except I've bought a Yuxin Red and I need to sell puzzles to buy magnets.

Prices include shipping to the US. I'm happy to ship abroad, but it will cost more.

Where did you learn how to make a magnetic 6x6?

Where did you learn how to make a magnetic 6x6?

I pretty much just figured it out. Read through this thread:
https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/magnets-thread.62969/
Several people (including myself) have talked about what works and what doesn't w/r to polarity. What size and strength of magnets to use is educated guesswork and some trial and error. How to place the magnets without just making a mess is mostly a matter of practice and being careful.

How much could I knock off the price of the Wuji if I sent you a stickerless wuji?

In new or like-new condition? $25

 

[ReversedPlus]

Yes, like new. There is a white mark on the corner of the cube from dropping it. That is it though.

I'd it's been dropped I wouldn't call that like new, but I suppose if it's good otherwise it's good enough for my purposes. PM me if you want to make a deal.

 

[ReversedPlus]

Actually, never mind. I don't think I really need to spend $60 on a cube that will not even drop my times that much. Thank you anyway.

No problem. Thanks for asking.

Bumping this thread. These are all of my magnetic puzzles, if I sell them all I'll make myself new ones. Prices include US shipping. I'm happy to ship internationally, but it will cost more. Make a reasonable offer.

3x3:
YJ Yulong weak magnets $13
Qiyi Warrior W strong magnets. Really good. $20

4x4:
Yuxin Blue strong magnets. Really good. Not especially excited to sell this one, but for the right price. $60

5x5:
Moyu Weichuang weak magnets $40
Qiyi Wushuang slightly weaker outer layers, like theCubicle. $45

6x6:
Moyu Aoshi too weak on the inner slice, well broken in and lubed $40
Cyclone Boys G6 slightly too strong inner layer. Good. $45

7x7:
YJ Yufu no corner magnets $45
Qiyi Wuji perfect $85

Megaminx:
Qiyi Qiheng S center-edge magnetization scheme. $35

I will consider some bundle or trade offers, but there are a few that I'd really rather keep and won't bundle, and trades are pretty limited.

For the Wushuang, G6, and Wuji I'll make a deal: if you've got a youtube channel over 1,000 subscribers, I'll send it to you, and you make a thorough review. If you like it, pay me and keep the puzzle. If you don't like it after a dozen solves or so, our if you just don't think it's worth what I'm asking, mail it back and you'll only be out about $4 postage, plus your time making the review.

The good ones:

Wuji (black): $85
Qiyi Megaminx (stickerless): $35
Yuxin Red (black): $85 New addition!
Wushuang (black): $45

The Red is really good. I like the wider outer layers and stickerlessness of the G6, but the magnet balance is better in the Red. I got the original puzzle from @TCKyewbs, who said it was spring-swapped for Yuxin 5x5 springs, and I have no reason to disbelieve that. I've been using the Wushuang, so the cheap stock Qiyi stickers are no longer pristine, but it is breaking in and getting a little less gummy.

I am interested in partial trades for the following (all stickerless):
Yuxin 5x5 (not Yuxin Cloud)
Qiyi Wuhua (possibly Yuxin Red, but I haven't tried a Wuhua yet)
Qiyi Wuji
