Custom Cubes and Puzzles

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Hey there cubers! Do any of you have a custom cube or puzzle in your collection that you would like to share? Leave it here! I currently have a custom YJ MGC EVO that I replaced the core in, and have plans to make it maglev. What kind of weird and custom cubes linger around here?

I have a Rubiks 2.0 3x3 that turns extremely well after modding it by sanding down pieces and fiddling with the ball-core. It can corner cut about 45 forward, which is, frankly, ridiculous.

Wow. Never heard of a Rubik's mod like that. Respect: ^lvl up!^

Cant say I've ever modded a cube before. Interesting concept tho, might try it. where would I start lol

Lee 5x5x3 (currently only available in China)

It depends. What cube do you want to mod and for what reason? My MCG EVO core broke (apparently really weak). So I used a cheap screw and spring core to make the cube usable again. The maglev was just an afterthought that I wanted.

This actually turns pretty well and it is quite cheap in Asia (but the prices of puzzles are usually at least doubled at the Cubicle or SCS, like Tornado v3 pioneer actually costs less than $20, GAN icarry actually costs like $13). I got my 5x5x3 for like less than $15

Well I have a Warrior W that could stand some better... Well, everything. I also have the Qiyi sail w I think it's called that could use an upgrade.

Like A LOT, https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/non-wca-puzzles-magnetisation.88424/post-1504646

I would do things in this order:

1. Clean out the cube with a paper towel or other cloth
2. Use lubricants and maybe loosen the cube a few quarter turns
3. If all else fails, maybe sand down the edge pieces a little, there will be a little less friction that way
4. If you want to magnetize your cube, I would recommend watching a tutorial for it, I will link one at the end.

I hope this helps!

Can you read Chinese and communicate with the seller in Chinese? (Even GAN sales in China can’t read English)

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Maybe? I know a couple people that might able to help me out. Also I would think that GAN would have a couple people that could read English

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I also have realized that I might be able to make my own UV Coating on my EVO. Gonna test it on an old cube first, though
