a lil bit confused...
"Cubing Classroom" = MEILONG
but RS3M = MOYU
and the MagLev version at TheCubicle is $14 (2021) or $15 for RS3M Super

anyhoo, maglev will help with a bit extra speed due to no friction contact points vs springs, but extra stability and smooth turning flow comes from the core-corner magnets

so if you want an RS3M then my 2¢ just get the Ball-core RS3M Super ($20 at TC but $12.55 at CUBEZZ.COM)

this one, right?

aHA!
Elementary Watson, I mean TEIXEIRA
have ordered from CUBEZZ a couple times, thats where I got my Ball-core RS3M Super
go with the Ball-core version $12.55 (USD) def better than just maglev and only $3 extra (not sure how that works out in Brazil but prob still only a little more)

 

[artless1der]

Yes indeedy thats the one
and only 18 real more

personally, I liked the Ball-core as is OOTB but wanted to feel the core-corner magnetic effect more, so I stacked 3×1mm N50 magnets on top of the ones Moyu built in to the feet of the corner pieces... that size fit perfect and that made it even better (for me)

 

[Cuber Score]

Isn’t the V3 Maglev (forgot the model name; Pioneer?) like $40?

is that standard not maglev?

Maru Core Magnetic DIY Kit for YuLong V2

This Maru Core Magnetic DIY Kit will convert your YuLong V2 to a core magnetic version! This kit adds magnets to the base of your corners as well as around the core. This gives the puzzle a more stable feel. You will need superglue for installation.

I know you don't shop the US
but the details might prove helpful... havent checked if CUBEZZ carries this but they might
Mind you this kit is for a 56mm cube, so the core shell pieces wouldnt work for a smaller cube, but the corner pieces can be made to work

I will go on a short trip today to a nearby city with my father and I will take my 4x4 and squan1 with me to practice.
I will have some 3 hours total to practice in the car hehe

 

[Lio2010]

Doesnt your father get annoyed?

Doesnt your father get annoyed?

I don't know if he get annoyed but if he does he doesn't say anything lol
I'm always showing him algs or stuff I learned in cubing and he patiently listen even if he is busy
He knows how to solve a 3x3 with intuitive f2l btw, I taught him everything when I was beginning

 

[Lio2010]

U r lucky… i cant even cube a hour with cstimer without them saying i am using my ipad too much and they get annoyed by every solve i do

 

[Deleted member 36445]

I just got an L8EP skip on my method while solving L8CP. I knew I was going to have I skip by using my standard alg
EDIT: on 3x3

Ok so on the way to the city I practiced some squan and my head started to hurt lol
So I solved the 4x4 a few times and then I just talked to my father the rest of the trip and on the way back it was pretty dark because it was so late and I couldn't cube either.

Square 1 makes my head hurt

super easy avg on 2x2 this weekly comp.
4.52 (almost pure sub5 avg)
it's my site pb2
using ortega/cll

--

3x3 avg was pretty bad, almost 19 seconds
This scramble was crazy, but I couldn't do a good start and ended with an over 20 seconds time : (
D2 U2 F' U2 B2 U2 F' U2 D L' B2 R F' D' R' F2 U2 R2 U

--

3x3oh was 48.53, pretty high for me but it had some interesting solutions like COLL and pseudo slotting, so, ok

--

I want to make a sub5 2x2 and sub15 3x3 avg in the same comp but my 3x3 skills need some work.
2x2 sub5 will be easy with time so I must work on 3x3

I entered in a race with @JDAW6 and I will try to get a sub17 avg100 soon.
So I'll be grinding 3x3 and I want to learn the rest few of wv and coll that I knew but forgot

and I have to improve my lookahead, because I do long pauses looking for pairs.

after I get a sub17 avg100 I'll go back to learning the rest of the algs of the spreadsheet I posted before

it seems like someone was cheating...

Tbh I was lying to myself I cheated to get sub20 ao100 can we still do the race

guess who the real winner is...

 

[Deleted member 36445]

I'm pretty sure I broke sub25 and sub50 pbs.

._.

sub16 avg25 soon??

I feel like I'll have a sub15 avg12 soon too, I don't know how many I have, but maybe more than 2

I agree

Square-1 is quite fun, minus the lockups.

It's pretty fun actually.
My squan is really bad one I got in 2010, I don't even know what model it is. I will get a good magnetic one soon.
I'm open to suggestions (on cubezz.com)
too bad they don't have one with black/white color scheme

Sometimes they come with replaceable black caps.
