[Help Thread] Puzzle Identification thread

Sorry about the bad quality of the pictures, my camera broke a while back and I have been using my phone. This puzzle has a regular 3x3 mechanism. To add to that, a crappy dollar store 3x3 mechanism. I just cut the triangular pattern out of the corners of the cube by removing certain corner pieces and cutting the edges. I just don't know what it is! So please tell me. Now.

half-truncated cube.

The white C (on lightake) looks like the retooled one

While the black C looks 1.5

Hi, I'm korean.

That cube is called DAISO cube in korea.

Because DAISO(1 dollar shop) sells that cube in 2 dolloars.

That cube is worth using speedcubing.

Many people use DAISO cube in korea as it is cheap.

So I have many DAISO cubes.

But I don't use it...

It is painted in each side such as type E(diansheng).

But two cubes are different from the viewpoint of edge pieces.

Diansehng has a unsealed pieces, but DAISO cube has a sealed pieces.

That cube is also similar to type F(I).

First, it has round pieces.
Second, it is worn out easily.


I searched many websites.

And I found it in Taobao.com .

It is made in china.

It is definitely different from type F.

It's screw is similar to Edison cube's.

And It's core is too terrible.

So I recommend you to hybrid C4Y core.

It seems that this Daiso cube is basically a 夢幻魔方.

it's Yong Jun mini cube
designed to be used for one handed.
the cut corner is nice, but it pops like crazy
the corners can be easily twisted too.
it has a very loud sound, very annoying

@Tanapak1 - Oh, thanks a bunch! Is Shengshou related to Shengen in any way?
