[Dcuber]

I just got my cubes!!!!
i GOT A BLACK, WHITE, AND PINK diy CUBE! (CAME WITH 2X2X2 KEYCHAIN)
i BUILT MY BLACK dIY, BUT WHTEN i DID "ULTRASONICFAST" moves, the pieces would pop out.
how can I fix this?

Turn more slowly.

"ULTRASONICFAST" :confused:

Taking the speed of sound as 300m/s and the diameter of a cube to be 8 cm, this means you were going at a speed of over 1200 turns per second!. If you were doing normal algs, that goes up to over 4000 turns per second, at least.

My suggestion: SLOW DOWN! Cubes are not meant to be forced to withstand this much friction.

So, don't do ultrasonicfast moves. You don't even need them for any type of cubing (except PLL, but even then you should go reasonably slow).

If you want to test a fast sequence, I suggest R'URU'... instead of RUR'U'... (grip R on what starts as U and D, trigger U' with LH, U with RH).

this video should help you i dont have a diy cube but yea

Basically make it tighter than you think it should be, then lube it and play around with it for about 10 min.

Wow you'd think the cube would explode...
Feel lucky they were just pops. At 4000 turns/second, you're lucky to be alive.

Do they sell DIYs at competitions?

BEST RESPONSE EVER LUCAS!

Anyway, besides what he said about slowing down, DIY cubes (particularly) from cube4you.com aren't the best in the world, rigorous cubing with them can lead to excessive popping, as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNczCKgUM4o.
Which otherwise further proves Lucas' point, slow down a little.

LOL I loved that video!! anyway yeah, slow down, tighten the screws, lube it again, yeah.
