Make Rubik's 4x4 best cube in 5 minutes

[Rentlix]

This is a very easy modification I did to spite the complex ways to do this, but it's really effective. So basically, you need just a file. Therefore, this is the Four-by-File mod. I have had 2 successes out of 2 attempts with this mod, but both were with a Rubik's brand. I don't know how this would end up on a Meffert's cube, but my guess, which is why I've never done it, is that the ball can misalign itself with the already-loose Meffert's cube. Results guaranteed.

Materials:
-File

HOW TO DO IT
Just take your 4x4x4 apart, and you will see that cool ball with grooves in it. grab your file and stick it in a groove. "Slide" the file along the groove in a full circle ONCE, and repeat for the other 2 grooves. Clean, lubricate, and reassemble

Now your Rubik's 4x4x4 is better than any Meffert/Eastsheen you ever get! And it took just 5 minutes or less!

still no springs... Still loosens up...

When you figure out how to apply springs to a Rubik's/Meffert's 4x4x4, please tell!

My Rubik's 4x4x4 was the worst cube ever. It is now missing 3 stickers and a corner because I got so sick of it, and made a 1x1x1.

No mod could have made that thing better.

you could try putting springs under the screws that holds the triangular pieces in the core. i wonder how would it turn out?

Have you tried any good Mefferts/Eastsheen 4x4x4 cubes?

 

[Innocence]

Lol. It may well be better than meffert's or eastsheen, but it will never surpass QJ. (ftw)

 

[rocker smurf]

i need some help with my 2x2, how do i adjust it?

 

[mr.onehanded]

I find it very hard to believe that is is better than either the Mefferts or the Eastsheen.

QJ is the KO of all KOs. I don't care about the quality of their cubes because they're illegitimately stealing ingenius designs to run the inventors out of business. I have not and will never buy from or suggest a QJ for any reason.

Yes, check my YouTube channel for such proof. Eastsheen's a good cube for beginners learning how to solve it, but solving for speed, it takes a great deal of effort to not lock up the cube. Meffert, on the other hand, I liked a lot, its just that it broke, and I haven't gotten replacement yet.

Long story short, my Rubik's 4x4x4 is my best one, with better cutting than the Meffert and smoother turning than the Eastsheen.

QJ and meffert's come from the same factory. Eastsheens are good if you know what you are doing, locking up really isn't a major issue.

And wouldn't logic dictate that:
If plain Meffert's is better than plain Rubik's.
and Rubik's + Mod is good
then Meffert's + Mod should be even better.

wtf QJ and meffert's and made in the same factory you dmass

actually, i'll tell you a secret. most of the puzzles meffert's sells are made in the factory as the knockoffs. the so-called "geniune" fisher's cube that meffert's sells are made by yonjung. meffert's simply buys the products made by various "knockoff" companies.

That's not a secret. YJ started making the KO fishers first (the design is patented by Tony Fisher), then since no one could legally compel YJ to stop (Chinese intellectual property laws are whacked), Meffert made a deal with Tony and YJ so he would distribute YJ-made fisher cubes and give Tony a cut of the profit. So yes, you're getting the same product with a meffert's fisher cube and a KO fisher cube, but the difference between the two is literally whether or not you are financially supporting the inventor and rightful patent holder.

Being a KO is not about being produced illegally, it's about being sold illegaly. You're perfectly free to make anything you want, patents or no. You just can't sell anything you want. Trying knowing what you're talking about next time. Who's the "dmass" (sic) now?

You talk about Tony Fisher having a patent on this puzzle... this claim is false.

I cannot tell you how much I don't recommend a Rubik's brand.

I used to say that too, but thanks to Rubik's brand cubes having unnecesary plastic, modding is very effective.

How was this post of any use to the topic? You may be trying to be funny, but you're also being a jerk along the way.

Wow. I just used your mod and I have to tell you, it is the best Rubik's 4x4 mod out there. It took less than 5 minutes and was definitely easy on the hands.
