The washer shouldn't be going through the centre piece >.< . You have to squash the spring down.

yes i know, i mean it should be going INTO the center piece...and its NOT!

try putting the spring on the screw the other way around. if that doesnt work complain to the site

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Try to just push the screw alone with force. Without the springs. Then when I goes through, put the spring through the screw and screw it...lol
What's X-Cross?

So I've just re-essembled (however you spell it) my Eastsheen 4x4. And the tension is totally like messed up, if I tighten it, the cube won't move. If I loosen it, the cube will just break into a million pieces. What do I do?

Tighten each side up all the way. Then loosen each side gradually... e.g. loosen all the sides by a 1/4 turn. This will give you equal tension, which is what you want. If 1/4 turn is too much, then tighten it 1/8th. You just need to experiment.

...This is an ES 4x4x4 he's talking about, not a 3x3x3.

What's X-Cross?

Doing an F2L pair while doing the cross. Many people use it. Some easy scrambles have even nice double-X-crosses (2 pairs)

I've never seen anybody do a triple-x-cross

Unfortunately, I don't own an ES 4x4, so I don't know how it works. :/ I had heard somewhere that there were screws on the cube to adjust the tension, so I (incorrectly?) assumed that there was a different screw for each side, and therefore would be adjustable like a normal DIY.

 

[Sherwood]

It is adjustable.

 

[4Chan]

Ohoho, I have had many eastsheen cubes.

Yeah, it's "adjustable" to a degree, but you're best leaving it on the original setting or a somewhat tight setting.

Careful though, you might strip the spindle. <
Which has happened to me twice.
2 times on a 4x4, once on a 5x5.

What's X-Cross?

Solving a F2L pair while solving the cross. You can use block building, or Fridrich pairing.

Does anyone know where I can get a new White GhostHand II shipped to the US besides eBay?

 

[ianini]

It is adjustable.

It is adjustable but is not recommended. There is no spring inside so it will only make the cube looser and more prone to lock-ups.

Consider the following. L6E for Roux, orientation does not matter, just permutation. the L&R edges are in DB and DF, in no particular order. Centers can be in any order. How many positions are there?

I tried doing it like this; The L&R edges could be positioned in 1 of 2 ways. Centers are 4. U layer edges have 12 possible positions. So a total of 96. It should be 48, where am I going wrong?

I don't think anyone answered this, and I'm probably not right here, but I'll throw in what I see. You said "the L&R edges are in DB and DF, in no particular order.", implying that their position is negligible in the positions, but then factored in the 2 to the final number. Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, that would be your 96? Or I'm just an idiot, either one.

 

[Chapuunka]

Do cubesmith stickers stand up to water? My storebought's did, miraculously.

 

[4Chan]

Yeah.

But then wouldn't that also mean that he shouldn't count the centers according to how he worded it?

Either way, it doesn't matter because you could do this another way, saying that the number of permutations of the edges on U is 4! (disregarding parity), and the number of permutations of centers is 4, and since that determines the permutation of the edges on D (because there are only two, and the total permutation parity has to be even), it would be 96.

I'm confused too :confused:

does anyone have any links to mods for ES 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5 and disassembly info.. Thanks,
Andy

The best mod for an Eastsheen 2x2

 

[SuperNerd]

Can you turn a storebought into an adjustable core cube?

Is it more practical to if you get a headlights case and everything is solved but two corners are only twisted use R'D'RD as oipposed to COLL or OLL-PLL

It's more practical to use (U') RU2R'U'RU'R' L'U2LUL'UL

Learn to use the mirror and inverse too.
