Mini QJ 4x4 too loose?

[koreancuber]

I've had a mini QJ 4x4 for quite awhile now, and I've done around 100 solves, and it's already too loose. The layer turns always overshoot and the middle layers lock up (my theory is that it's too loose) Does this happen to anyone?? (the core is tightened all the way) If it does, have you found a solution to it?

Have you taken apart the entire cube and checked that screw inside the core? It will loosen up from time to tim, and you have to take a screw driver and tighten it a bit.

Yeah.

I just bought another one.

The screw's tightened all the way, I just checked it.

My mini QJ is also very loose. Screw isn't the problem, it's just like that for some reason. Few days ago I did this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-PXIO5YcAM and now it's much better, not that much lock ups anymore. But it's still a bit too loose for my taste.
But there's no better 4x4 around, unfortunately

Yeah.

I just bought another one.

I would use one of my other mini qj, but this one has already cubesmith stickers on it :/

I have the same problem after about 200 solves.
A single layer turns 360 degrees with a gentle push...

I don't think there is a solution to this problem.

That sucks. I should just get a YJ 4x4

4Chan: So your going to buy one every time it does that?

 

[Konsta]

Yeah.

I have also a YJ 4x4 (modded and non-modded), but I think mini QJ is better. Can't wait for that X-cube..

Just switch the cores.

Someone needs to make a mod for this.

switch the cubies to the btr core

 

[endless_akatsuki]

maybe y'all solve too fast.

Mine has hardly loosened at all, and I've had it for over 2 1/2 months.

Just switch the cores.

It was like I suspected, the pieces are too loose, not the core.

i figured i might as well post this here, my mini QJ appears to be broken, when its assembled it only turns on one axis, i took it apart a couple of times and adjusted the core, but even when the core is aligned correctly, it seems to not look right, anyone know what is happening here?

 

[Samania]

waahh i just ordered one D:
but maybe the squircle mod might work.

I think the core is misaligned, sometimes you have to take the whole cube apart and adjust the core. My cube used to do this all the time and it was so frustrating, someone told me the only way to fix this is to not cut centres..any other solution?

Oh and my cube used to be really loose, I tightened the screw and now it's too tight and I'm too lazy to take apart my cube

it was at first, but then i fixed it and its still broken, how is it supposed to be aligned exactly?

Someone needs to make a mod for this.

It's called the "put a meffert's/qj core in it" mod.

For a Mini QJ?

 

[DavidWoner]

Yes. They are the same size core.
