Whats the best way to dissolve the super glue in my 6x6, I need to replace a pin but I cant get the glue out.

A quick bit of research gives that acetone is the best (and only, it seems) way to dissolve super glue. Problem is, acetone may damage your cube.

This.
You can try to scrap out the dried out glue. That's what MMAp did

I used a drill with a bit thats was a point. Make sure the end of it is smaller than the rivet.

Ya that might work thanks, I have a dremel with a pointed drill bit thing

Where is a MF8 VII megaminx on Lightake.

Is a maru 4x4x4 worth it? This is an opinion question.

When you get a white GHII from Cubedepot, does it come with black stickers?

No.

what is the algorithm for clockwise and counterclockwise 2x2 corner flip in UFR?
i need it for a 2x2 blind solve

I have a mefferts 4x4 with two broken centers. I don't use it anymore, it was replaced with a mini qj and maru. I also have a rubik's 5x5 with missing pieces and missing stickers, mf8 megaminx that glued it's self together when left sitting with lots and lots of jig a loo (I didn't know), and endless storebought pieces. What the hell do I do? Do I just throw it all away...? It doesn't feel right ya know...? I don't feel like making a thread saying "Free parts", because all these puzzles are out dated and suck...I should just throw it all away, amirite?

But what's the other position(s) that you want to twist? You can't just twist one corner.

You can fix the MF8 megaminx, just get a knife and try really hard to unglue it. It's hard but it works.

As for the other ones, you could sell the parts, or try to get replacement parts.

I've done that with the MF8 a long time ago, it's taken apart and its missing tiles, rough plastic, dirty, etc. I don't WANT extra parts, I've said I replaced those cubes with better cubes. I would give away parts, but who want's rubik's 5x5 pieces and chipped megaminx pieces?

Some people might want them for mods and stuff. And you could sell the Meffert's pieces, I'm sure some people would like that.

And for the megaminx, you could just take off all the other tiles. I have a Meffert's megaminx and I find that the tiles just get in the way. Whenever I get the money, I'm just going to get Cubesmith or MF8 stickers.

If you want to flip UFR clockwise and UBR Counterclockwise do (R U R' U')*2 L' (U R U' R')*2 L and if you want to flip the the opposite way do (U R U' R')*2 L' (R U R' U')*2 L

At official competitions do they care if the cube is in bad condition? specifically many peeling stickers

3j) Puzzles must be clean and must not have any markings, elevated pieces, damages, or other differences that distinguish one piece from a similar piece.
3k) Puzzles must be approved by a judge before use in the competition.

Interpret that how you will.

i had a very peeling fII cube and i just got new stickers, its not worth risking it.

i got told from stachu/waffles that same rule posted above. its just not worth the risk+its very cheap to get new very high quality stickers.

where can i find an color neural tutorial , finger trick tutorial ?

[vcuber13]

you need a tutorial for being colour neutral?
just solve on the side with the easiest cross

 

[RyanReese09]

where can i find an color neural tutorial , finger trick tutorial ?

color neutral takes practice. u cant..teach someone how to be color neutral. apply techniques from regular solves into othercolors. recog will be slow but give it time

google finger trick videos, didi you want alg finger tricks, or regular finger tricks?

either way, youtube/google
