Faz: Looks like you figured me out. Although there is a little bit more to it than that. Did anyone see the little white extensions coming off the inner core? Just like the original?

Also, could we please have some patience I want to get this up as much as you guys do but I'm on a nearly unusable internet connection right now otherwise I'd have these videos up like super quick.

I'll post pictures for the moment. What upload service shall I use? Tinypic alright? erm. no thanks. suggestions please.

Are those core extensions a seperate part? Unless you cut really carefully, taking the core off would break it, no?

 

[JLarsen]

The core extensions are the originals cut off the inner core. I merely bored them out and trimmed them so that they would fit inside the v cube center piece between the new core to give the center pieces some stability as the original had. It most likely was a waste of time being the hardest part of the mod, and most likely not *absolutely* needed, but what the hell.

actually if you want a adjustable 5x5 just go for the yunjune ripoff

btw this mod already existed, but good job anyway

Existed..as in there's a tutorial on it? Or people have been doing it all the while without making it public?

V cubes already has adjustable cores as prototypes and dan cohen has some. He knows verdes' brother. However I don't think this mod exists. If it does, I'd love him to post a link to it. His credibility with me is garbage.

I have contacts with Konstantinos Verdes, the son of the inventor, Panagiotis. Konstantinos sent some adjustable cores to some people to test. The main problem is still the springs, but at least it can be slightly adjusted once broken in.

Ahhhh son. I'm sorry my mistake.

Update: Added a picture to the first post.

Can you provide a link? I can understand mandarin and cantonese Even if it's in another language it shouldn't be that hard to understand what's going on I guess

Oh cool! I thought you meant an English one. I guess I'm just an ignorant American huh?

Didn't you say that the springs are like rocks? I asked you about the 3x3 springs and u said that they were too small... how about springs from a hardware store?

 

[Feanaro]

Sweet idea! When I get my 5x5, I might just do this

 

[JLarsen]

The springs on mine are about the tension of a old type a. They're slightly longer though (I trimmed them). It cuts corners better than a normal core but it also is slightly more prone to popping. I've only popped it when I wanted to/tried to so far so I think it is not an issue.

The problem I had recently was that the screw heads I'm using were small enough to recess into the core. The problem this gave was that the core didn't have a real maximum as to the stretch. If I pulled real hard the thing would pop pieces out like my 7x7 =P. I tried a washer from my 3x3 and it raised the screw head out of the cap to the point where the caps wouldn't go on.I just took the dremil to it and recessed the washers into the center pieces, and all is well. Much more stable, and I can't really pop it. It pretty much feels like a new v cube 5 after about a month of breaking in or so, but with a little better corner cutting capabilities.

Umm I know that this Chinese company which copies the V-Cube technology and sells them in China made several improvements, one of which being the adjustable V-Cube core for the V-5 and V-7.

I moved the video onto my new youtube channel so Faz's embed won't work anymore. I'll embed the copy into the first post, and good news:

I'm going to my house at home for just enough time to get the file on the computer at home. I'm going to copy it onto there from the camera, and then later tonight I'll remote control it from this computer and start the upload onto youtube. Expect a video by tommorow. =]
