Cube4you DIY Second Gen.

[Dfgged]

I got the cube. It is interesting to say the least.
It is heavy, glides too well (over shoots a little) and always has that loosish feeling that I don't really like. It locks up more often then I'd like. But it is a nice cube. It is certainly speed solve-able and can actually be quite good if you can change your style to fit it.

Out of 10 I'd give it about a 7/10. It is a good speed cube, but it just doesn't have what it takes to be a main speed cube. (All of this is my opinion)

You should try and do the corner rounding mod, I heard it reduces lock-ups on the first gen C4U

I have no intention of modding this cube.
I don't think anything I can do to it will make it better then my main, and therefore I have no motivation to do it.

You would buy this cube if you like heavy cubes, if you are a collector, or if you are interested in the puzzle.

If you are looking for a new main speed cube, don't get this one.

EDIT: Sorry if that sounded a little mean, I didn't intend it to be that way.

No prob, it was just a suggestion.

Will it come in any other colour?

the cube parts and the whole cube can natant on the water.

And what does this mean?

I think they meant to say it can float, since the pieces are hollow and sealed.

Yeah did some definition research and that sounds right. Is that a good quality of a cube that it can float?

Doesn't that mean that it's light?

not necessarily it just means that the cubies are hollow on inside and are sealed completely so it keeps the air in thats in there and the water out. i will be able to post more about this cube here in a few days when my order comes in expect a few videos on my youtube channel (since i dont have editing software) on there i will try to answer all questions asked in this thread

Chris, how would you compare it to a regular C4U (first gen) DIY? Just wondering.

Much better, but still not main speedcube material.

Hmm. I hope someone has it as Discovery Science Center next Saturday.

From your comment, I guess the C4YII is not better than a broken-in, modded AV.

PopBuying FTW!!

Guess I should just wait for things to show up on popbuying from now on. :rolleyes:

Chris what do you use as your main speed cube? I'm curious what you DO like.

 

[canadiancuber]

he uses a haiyan memory

 

[m4a1]

chris:

my memory, pops a lot! what should i do with it (anything besides tensions...)

Turn more accurately?

 

[m4a1]

well... i have pretty agressive style, so i always over - rotate, so once in about 2 solves, there is a massive pop, but i dont wanna to make it tighter - i like the way it is now

Then don't be so aggressive. Turn lightly.

Or just tighten it. :rolleyes:

 

[HowSuneIsNow]

I am aggressive too and do well with a F-II

 

[daniel0731ex]

i am freaking aggressive and yet my A2 is totally awesome without any pops at all. this is what fine tuning could do.
you'll know how violent my turning is if you ever watched my H-perm.
