Like my turning the cube slowly the screw in the white side gets unscrewed this was a peevious Problem but it is happening repeatedly now. I have to do 2x2 now instead of 3x3 which is so annoying lol

When I had my cubes too lose that happened sometimes so try tightening them

This happened when I got my wrm19 and I just swapped out that spring which fixed the problem.

Maybe lube would stop the friction which makes the screw move so I would lube the springs and screws with a silicone based lube. I’m pretty sure that you don’t have any so I’d recommend investing in some

Hi, I think that you are facing a problem of a stripping core.
You could search on YouTube, how to fix stripped core in 3x3
It happened a lot in the rs3ms

personally, i would try putting a thin piece of paper between the screw threads and the core threads. sounds weird, but in my experience, it works. it seems to increase the friction between the screw and the core, which prevents the screw from unscrewing on its own.

Sounds like the core is stripped, meaning the screw threads in the core are worn or damaged and no longer hold the screw firmly in place, and it just keeps pulling out/loosening. It's a metal screw going into plastic, so the core getting stripped can happen.

SpeedCubeReview has a simple fix for stripped cores

Paper might be a bit too thick, wouldn't want to crack the core. Try the video I linked above. A piece of a plastic shopping bag is thinner than paper and should work better. and should be safer, too.

put a piece ont top of the screw hole thing then screwed the screw in
