it's not a DIY. it's better than other small cubes, but still hard to turn fast

Yes, nice cube, but what does this have to do with Blindfold Cubing?

 

[tim]

I guess he bought it blindfolded.

 

[AvGalen]

I guess he bought it blindfolded.

Moved it anyway

You can take off the caps, there are adjustable screws.

 

[live2die]

where did you get yours im looking for one cuz i just got two mins in the mail and they are **** and are gonna fall apart im looking for like a rubiks brand one

 

[Pietersmieters]

I think it are the DX ones, I already have a white one "mini marasu cube" or something like that and it's amazzzzingggg, I ordered 2 black ones

 

[daniel0731ex]

it's from a taiwanese cube store called maru cubershop, i think

BTW it has springs

 

[daniel0731ex]

if you'd have a trip back to taiwan you GOT TO buy their 紳藍 core&screw+spring set,
they are sold only in taiwan,
and people from the taiwanese forum all said that it's the best core ever

 

[Unknown.soul]

It appears they are the same manufacturers of the various sticker patterns on DX (musical notes, maze, dice, etc). http://maru.tw/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=9&Itemid=30

This poses a question: are they DIYs? I noticed that the cubes don't have corner caps (and maru's DIYs do).

daniel: What about the DIYs? Are they any good?

what do you mean? they sells various diys (type a, c, d, THIS, and the 紳藍DIY)


i heard their type C are good, but definetly buy the 紳藍 DIYs


THIS DIY is the one with the clear core, but they aren't very durable, though the cubies are smooth without a trace of molding lines or imperfection.



BTW maru.tw don't sell it out of country



P.S. THIS is also called taiwanese DIY

I meant that one, sorry about not being specific.

I'm VERY tempted to buy one (so portable!). Does anyone know if it works well with silicone spray lubricant?

I just got my maru mini in the mail today. I'm quite impressed. Its smaller than I thought (half as wide as a regular cube in each direction) but it still turns pretty well. I lubed mine but am still waiting on it to dry. I want to try loosening the screws but I can't find a screwdriver that will fit at the moment.

Well crap, it just broke
I was about to say how well it was responding to the lube, when half of the pieces just popped out. One of the center caps fell off, screw and all. It wont screw back in. I see marks all over the plastic now. I think the jig-a-loo softened it too much.

 

[panyan]

awesome!

 

[SlapShot]

Crap, I just ordered one. Note to self, no lube.

No Jig a Loo for my mini cube, then...

Has anyone tried silicon spray?
