Gan 16/Gan 17 settings thread

[someone.]

I'd like to know some of your Gan 16 settings, if you dont have a 16 then whats your gan 17 settings, and if you dont have a Gan 17 or Gan 16 then any Maglev Gan cube will do. Specify the magnet rods as well.

I use 5 for center travel, 7 for maglev compression, and the strongest (i think green) magnet rods. I usually lube it with gravitas on tracks, calm and rush on pieces.

Review: I think these settings are fast yet controllable (I don't have any lube) and very airy (because I took out the edge magnets that repel).

That’s pretty much what I was going for. Fast and controllable cubes fit my turning style the best.
