Maru then jigaloo. it feels amazing. and doesn't dry up.

Don't have maru, but i find that CRC+jigaloo (same time) makes your cube taste amazing

following the guhong v. verdes controversy, lightake took down their cube section to prevent the possibility of being sued. Hopefully once this thing blows over, it will come back up

Is there any way to make an f2 better by modding it? :}
EDIT: Oh, and is it recommended to lube screws and springs with wd40?

WD40 is one of the worst things you can put in a cube. It melts plastic. Us silicone spray such as CRC or Jigaloo. There are many other lubricants available.
And generally the screw and springs dont need to be lubed, it wont make a difference.

Do any of the really fast 4x4/5x5'ers not use a fixed buffer for 2 at a time edge pairing?

Noobish question, What exactly is the fixed buffer?
When I edge pair 4x4, I use 3-2-2-2-3, During the 2s, I always keep the FL piece unsolved and place edges in the FR slot, pairing with a U', and when I slice back (U) i make a second pair in the FR slot.

Is that buffering? and if so, I find it faster, to look for a specific edge than trying to look for multiple ones.

I'm probably late but, how did the CubeCast thread get closed?

Lighten it up using Chris Tran's mod, then do some more rounding.
PM me for details.

What does modding a cube actually mean?

What does modding a cube actually mean?

Modifying it. Usually in a way to affect the way it turns. Such as sanding it to make it smoother or faster.

What does modding a cube actually mean?

Modding could also include changing the shape in some way. Basically anything done to a cube after factory. Like on a car, if you add a body kit to it after you purchased the car, it is a modification.

lube the screws with lubix

 

[Rpotts]

yea, or silicon spray like CRC. I didn't realize that lubing the screws/springs could make a difference until i disassembled my A3f after like 5 months of use. There was so much cube dust n silicon residue on the core assembly. After completely cleaning everything (all screws/springs/washers/core/pieces) i sprayed one or two sprays of CRC into the screw/spring/washer assembly just before screwing it in to the core. Worked wonders. I'd recommend it.

Just got a Meffert's megaminx, what should I do to it?
Also, for megaminx, I'm comfortable with EO and CP, what's the easiest method for EP and CO?
