X-Cube 4 is Mass Producing Very Soon

[RyanReese09]

I can't find any internal pop-yet it feels like it has one. It has the feeling of a lan lan 2x2x2 having an internal pop. What steps should I use to diagnose? What's most likely? Keep in mind it's interior structure.

 

[Zarxrax]

Do you feel it with certain layers or when turning past a certain point? That could give you some clues.
I might say just take it apart and try again. Since you know how to do it now, you could probably redo it in an hour or less.

 

[RyanReese09]

It's basically the entire cube feels like an internal pop..ugh..I'd really prefer not to disassemble. It was a complete pain in the ***.

 

[freshcuber]

I'd say disassemble and redo. It will be a pain but if it really is an internal pop then turning it more may damage your cube. I'd rather spend another hour assembling it than have a broken X-Cube. Since you've done it once it won't take too long at all this time. I do like the idea of tape. Preferably painter's tape or masking tape since it will keep the pieces together and not leave residue like duct tape or scotch tape can.

I was crying as I did it, but I disassembled. Shall post an update when/if I complete it tonight.

 

[freshcuber]

That's rough man, good luck with your second attempt. Watch the video as you do it. I know the core has to be attached to the centers a certain way and that may be the issue. Total guess right there but a possibility.

 

[Whyusosrs?]

Does your brother's feel the same?

I was hanging out at a girls house tonight, I have done like 25%. I am assembling the core right now, about 50% done that.

Rage quitting until tomorrow. ALSJFD;AKLGHAEJKJS;DFKL

 

[JaceKplonowski]

What lube did you use ? Cyclo is not available where I am.

 

[RyanReese09]

D39. But I can't tell if that was good or not because I had to disassemble. And now I'm facing another crisis

Spoiler

On the circular part that wraps around the core there is the xb logo, and then I try to fit the center pieces on it, the logo is in the way and thus the pieces won't fit there. I don't know how I didn't have this problem the first time. In the assembly video he seems to have no such problem. <_<.

Emailed the guy about it yesterday but..nothing yet.....

 

[RyanReese09]

Fail yet again. <_<

 

[joey]

That was funny.

 

[amostay2004]

What...I thought they come assembled >_>

 

[EricReese]

....no...where did he say they came assembled? Obviously they are DIY's...

 

[freshcuber]

Bigbee is offering an assembly service.

 

[EricReese]

Whatever price he is offering consider yourself getting a bargain. These things are ridiculous...

 

[Erzz]

Wow I'm definitely not getting a DIY

 

[cuberkid10]

Can either of you explain in detail what part is hard? I would like to know what I'm in for..

 

[joey]

Only you two Reese people have got them yet, we'll see if other people have as many problems as you.
