Any Tips for Cleaning and Lubing Clock?

[BirdCubing]

Hi guys!
I have a black Qiyi Clock from 2024 and I want to learn how to set it up properly.
I wanted to setup my clock to be pretty controllable but has some speed into it.
Do you have any tips on setting it up and cleaning my clock?
Thanks!

I normally:

• Remove screws and nuts
• Clean out the dials, the two clear cases, and the two coloured cases, using a cloth
• Drop lube inbetween the holes on the coloured cases, and rub it (using a cloth) onto the black/white rings
• Put the coloured and clear cases back on
• Do a few solves to see if I like it or if it needs some changes
• Tape mod

Can't really recommend lubes because I've only ever had 3

Yes, you can lube Clocks, and many people do.

This is the setup that I have used since NAC 2024 (thanks Davis Johnson for helping me with this) and I have used it to get many PR averages since then, including my new 3.96 PR average from a few weeks ago.

1. Take all screws/nuts out and disassemble
2. Clean inside with a tissue/paper towels (if necessary)
3. Put a drop of weight 5 on the bottom and top (12 and 6) of the inside of the frame on each piece, then use ONE (1) piece by turning it continuously to distribute the lube. Use that same piece for all 9 clocks on that side, then repeat for the other side.
4. Put a drop of DNM-37 on the bottom of each piece in the frame (6) just like with the weight 5, and also just like with the weight 5, use ONE (1) piece (clean the piece beforehand if you're using the same one) to evenly distribute this type of lube. Repeat for both sides.
5. Reassemble, do tape mod (tape on U and D), and do a bunch of break-in solves. Have fun!
