Do mini 3x3's have thinner plastic? What magnets would be good for a 50mm Moyu 3x3?

Not sure about the plastic, maybe check DMCubing videos as he usually measures the thickness of the pieces at the start.
I've just magnetised my 50mm moyu cubing classroom with N35 4x2 and it's turned out well I think. It's quite a strong click so I'd go lower strength if you want a more subtle feel

Thanks for the reply. I will check out his videos.

I think I will actually use 3x1.5mm N50's.

Has anyone done a WuQue? What magnets did you use? How did it turn out?

I used the same magnets on my 50mm cubing classroom and I think they are perfect for the cube.

I know someone who made an awesome WuQue. I'll let you know when he gets back to me.

I can explain how to get a wonderful Wuque, but I do it different then cubicle labs. Usually people that try it, like it.

Procedure for wuque M:
inner layers 4x1mm N45
outer layer 4x1,5 N45
magnets from here supermagnete.de( expencive but HQ) but if you try to get simmilar strenght at cheaper place, do it.
When you use this magnets, you get too strong attraction with current Wuque springs, so there are two solutions:
1. cut little more then one ring( bit over 360degrees) of the spring away and bend the last part similar to original.
2. use thunderclap springs and add some artificial washer. I just do 2mm plastic one from lollipop stick and it fits perfectly.
I think version 1 is easier to do, just buy some good cutting tool and the cube gets amazing.
version 2 is for people that like very fast cube, like valk3 out of the box. For this one you will need some weight 5 lube.
Cubicle uses something like 5x1mm N48 outside and 4x1,5N38 inside. Thats simmilar like me but opposite. And it is alltogether 8% weaker mag force what is logical as original sprigs are very strong- too strong.
Why I prefer opposite? First, I can put pieces slightly more together( shorter springs) and still have very light and soft cube with no lockups and the most important - it is almost impossible to get a corner twist or a cube to fall apart.

Instead of magnets I have described before, these would be almost the same.
instead of 4x1 N45 D3/16 x 1/16" N38 Nickel Plated Disc Magnet
instead of 4x1,5 N45 D4x1.5mm N38 NiCuNi Plated Disc Magnet
that way it will be cheaper

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for information on the polarity pattern for a 5x5 cube. I have found posts that show where in which pieces the magnets should go, but I want to make sure I get the polarities correct.
Any information/pictures would be greatly appreciated.

In a 5x5 there are 2 sets of magnets that do not (significantly) interact with each other. The magnets in the corners and the wings next to the corners are the same as the magnets in a 3x3. All the magnets in the corners need to attract all the relevant magnets in the wings. The midge/wing set of magnets also need to attract each other, and have no significant influence on the first set. Does that make sense?

Yes it does. Perfect sense. I was thinking that was the case. Thanks for the information. Now, where is my Gorilla glue.....

I just ordered some. Good price, but I am awaiting delivery. It can take a while.

I have done 2.
Cube A:
Inner N52 3x1.5mm Outer N38 4x2mm
Cube B:
Inner N38 4x1mm Outer N48 5x1mm
Cube A is good but I would like slightly stronger inner magnets. Cube B has too strong inner magnets. Its outer layer is perfect for me, but could be a little lighter, maybe a N42 5x1mm (Gaussboys.com has these).
For my next one I am going to use the N48 5x1mm for the outer and N50 3x2mm on the inside.

I just magnetized my 50mm 3x3! It works great with those magnets(N35 4x2mm), I really recommend it.
