I saw Z3Cubing’s video on magnetising the yuxin gigaminx, and I did it a month before him, and my yuxin gigaminx has much stronger magnets. I would say the magnetisation process is quite similar, but I used more magnets then he did (he used 240 magnets and I used 420 magnets). However, it took me like 7 hours where Z3Cubing did it in around 4 hours.
That’s Awesome!
I have just magnetised the FanXin Orange 3x3. It is a relatively simple magnetisation process, and pieces click into place very well thanks to the strong magnets.
As I saw the internal pieces in the video of Cube Solve Hero cracking apart the qiyi dino cube, I believe it is possible. I think it would be similar to the magnetisation process of the dayan dino skewb, but slightly simpler. Maybe I will buy one and try magnetise it as I have been willing to trying that too, and I will be posting here as well regarding to the magnetisation process.
Ok. Thanks
if you could, could u take a vid or a pic of the kibiminx? i would love to see one
I first used 5*2 magnets in both the edges and corners which is very strong as the plastic is so thick. However, that was not even noticeable. Then, I stacked 4*2 magnets in both the edges and corners which can only barely fit in, especially for the corners, putting the magnets strength to a slightly stronger side. Make sure you do it on the same side of the corners and edges as it may result in not being able to fit in the additional magnets later on. I started it out on the side with a little bit more space as I wanted more room for the magnets in case additional magnets is needed, which turned out to be needed. I was inspired by a youtube video to magnetise the qiyi kibiminx, which I will link it below. In the video, 4*2 magnets are used and there are no additional magnets, so the magnet strength is pretty weak.
wow! its my dream to get a magnetic kilominx, maybe this summer ill consider maybe modding one
I’m encountering some difficulties in magnetising the ShengShou Pentahedron which has just been released recently. I have already magnetised the slices with strong magnets, but I don’t know how to magnetise the top and bottom layer. I wish I can do so as the top and bottom layers are just so fast that magnets will probably help a lot.
Also, I have already ordered the qiyi dino cube, and hopefully it will arrive next week and I will try to magnetise it.
Can you send a picture of how you have partially magnetized the pentahedron? I just got mine in today lol
how many 4*2 and 5*2 magnets do u need? also they're 4mmx2mm and 5mmx2mm magnets right?
You will need 120 5*2 magnets and 120 4*2 magnets.
I have pretty much given up magnetising the ShengShou Crazy Megaminx and the FanXin Peach 3x3. For the ShengShou Crazy Megaminx, the spaces are just too small to fit magnets inside. For the FanXin Peach 3x3, one of the internal centre piece have different design unlike the FanXin Orange 3x3 which have same internal centre pieces for all 6 axis. This makes it hard to have even magnets strength across all layers, or else I will have to magnetise the corners instead of centres. However, that will be even more difficult as some of the corners are too small to fit magnets in and there are some plastics inside the corner pieces sticking out blocking magnets to fit in.
Actually I think it may be possible to magnetise the top and bottom layers if I remove some plastic from the corner caps, but the plastic is just so hard that I’m not sure if it is possible like on my puppet cube v1. On the puppet cube v1, I had to remove some plastic on 3 corner caps to fit magnets in, and that’s all. However, for the ShengShou pentahedron, if I do it in that way, I will have to remove plastics from 12 corner caps. It’s a pain to remove plastics from every pieces with a knife, especially the plastic being that hard. Do you think there is any other possible way to magnetise the top and bottom layers?
