I mean, I'm pretty sure the only way to magnetize a mirror cube is core magnets. Someone call me out if I'm wrong.

It should be possible to magnetize a mirror cube with standard magnets, as long as the magnets are all the same radius from the core. Start with the thinnest layer.

The spring noise I've noticed has been replaced with a "magnet squeak" on our maglev WRM 2021, not sure if anyone else has experienced the same thing with other maglev cubes they've got. Happens every 20 or so turns.

Just got a WRM2021 Maglev, and it's got a rather annoying squeak just on the yellow side. I can't figure out what is making the noise. I can't say that spring noise has bothered me before, but this squeak on a maglev cube is annoying me quite a bit.

My 5x5 mirror blocks has magnets. You just need all the magnets aligned and their location is controlled by the layer with the smallest “bump” or extension.

If my package even leaves Australia, I will test if my maglev will do this as well. I once had a squeak on my GAN that was caused by a loose magnet. Yes squeak. Weird.

In a customer review for the WRM Maglev someone mentions something similar:

yeah just put a tiny bit of traxxas around all parts in contact and that should fix it

MoYu WeiLong Pyraminx MagLev

The MoYu WeiLong Pyraminx MagLev features an updated pyraminx mechanism that is magnetized in the traditional way with magnets in the edges/centers along with magnets for aligning the tips. This version has purple internals as replaces the traditional spring mechanism with two opposing magnets...

Thanks for that Makes sense that that is where the noise is coming from.

Sure, but I'll need to the entire cube apart to do that which is just a mission. Oh well ... lets see how annoyed I get with the squeak today, I may just end up doing that.

Turns out I didn't need to take anything apart. Dropped some Traxxas 10k on the screw and magnets and used a tooth pick to move the lube around. Seems to have worked and I don't have the annoying squeak anymore.

can't wait for their 8 and 9. I got the 2 and 3 and they're surprisingly good!

2 more Yoo cubes just got released, one of them being an RS3M 2021, and the other a WR M Maglev. What I find more interesting is the sample syringe of dinitas. The little containers are soo annoying to deal with because it is always leaking out, and a syringe just makes way more sense.

What is up with all of this Cubeneck stuff? Seriously TC is even dedicating a week of special deals to him. Why can't we focus on "YouCubers" who have high quality content like CubeMaster and LaZer0MonKey or channels that pour an incredible amount of time into each video like Z3Cubing?

I guess that's what gets the younger cubesters exited but TC has a very big influence on them so if they're advertising for Cubechin then that's who cubers will look up to.

 

[qwr]

You answered your own question. Cube Master is a relatively tiny channel and lazermonkey rarely uploads at all nowadays. Cubehead is a very successful brand that is growing quickly, already one of the biggest cubing channels. He also networks and collabs with other creators much better than other channels.

This is probably all part of cubehead taking over tc for a day

Yep, it's all about the engagement. Cubehead has grown very quickly to 206k subscribers and people love his personality. Hence the Cubicle works with him on stuff like this.
