ok are cubesmith tiles able to be transfered to another cube/cubie and stick just as well? the reason i ask is that my alpha 3 f just had an edges tab break i know its a very sad day for me as it was my first speed cube now i need a new edge and was wondering will the tiles transfer easily????

They should, I transferred tiles from a 4x4 to another 4x4 without a problem. Just take them off like regular stickers and try not to crease them, and apply a lot of pressure when you put it on the new cube.

my pegs on my rubiks clock (cubetwist brand) lock up some time during the solve, I havent lubed any part of the puzzle yet. if lubing is the answer could you supply a guide or just tell me how to do it

All I can say is, do not use maru lube.

David Woner has a great tutorial.

Yeah, but I recommend for taking it apart, don't use a blade, use scissors. Credit to Lucas Garron for this. It's a lot faster/easier.

what is the correct way to sticker a cube? I have destickered my cube but Idk where which color goes where how can I check if I'm putting my stickers in the correct side?

whats a good stop motion program? (other than monkey jam and wmm)

BOY scheme. white opposite yellow, red opposite orange, and green opposite blue.

Does anyone else find it hard to do PLL's on a solved cube? I was going to practice but I need to keep looking at the algorithms.

If you are havinf that much trrouble then you can do the PLL on a solved cube while looking at the written algorithim, and then you will have the correct case and you just need to do it

 

[EricReese]

Also, make sure the color scheme is correct. That is..with yellow on the U face..have blue on the front face and orange should be on the left

Or you can group moves into sets, and see how to pieces are being manipulated around, like which block goes where, etc. You don't have to remember this, but just so that you're familliar with what your algorithm does in the end.

I recently bought an Alpha V off eBay and I'm not sure whether it is a knock-off or whether it's real. On the white side, the stickers are all the same as the rest of the cube besides the centre one which is slightly smaller, make of different material and has a plastic film on the top that comes off easily. I have never had an Alpha V before so i don't have anything to compare it to. Is this how all Alpha V's are or is this a knock-off?

What's the difference between Type A,B,D....etc?What does it mean?How to distinguish between one type and another?

The Wiki has a page about this. http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/3x3x3_Cubes
At the bottom of the Wiki are many of the breeds of 3x3s. Each has a description with unique chracteristics.

I have an f-II, should my next cube be: a ghosthand II, an A5 or a cube4you cube?

 

[cyoubx]

F II's are pretty good as is...but if you really want another cube, go with the A V. It's of similar caliber but has a different feel.

... lol.

On topic: Depends what you want to animate...

Has anyone met any square-1 solvers that does slash with their left hand? I met one on mf8 and my mind was totally blown.

I do it if I'm mirroring an alg.

I do because I'm left handed.
