>< that makes U, F, and L turns. I want U, F, and R turns thank you.

If you are really that picky, use Acube to find what you want.

How long would you say it takes to fully mod it with an adjustable core? I'm really careful when I mod and I do everything meticulously so a mod that usually takes an hour takes me more because I find additional imperfections like excess plastic that I sand away.

Sanding the internals=Half an hour
Super-Gluing the Two Pieces=One minute
Pin Mod+Overnight Wait=10 hours
Making Adjustable Core (Assuming you have all your materials right there): 10 minutes (Assuming you already have it assembled.)

If you're making an adjustable core, make absolute certain you have the tensions just the way you like 'em. Because after you super-glue in the pins, you can't change the tensions without taking off the pin. But after you change the screw tension, you can't use the same pin, because it's not going to be the same height since the screw height changed.

I'm currently learning the L perm (backward J). I've noticed that several PLL's can be done with only U, R, and F turns, and such algorithms feel natural to me due to fewer regrips. For example:

I looked at the Wiki PLL page, and did not find any such algorithms for the L perm. Does one exist?

L perm does not exist, Its a J perm.

http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/PLL - J(a) - (y2) R' U2 R U R' U2' L U' R U L'
Can 1.5 it easily. F moves in some algorithms are awkward. Not every alg can be done with 0 regrips.

>< that makes U, F, and L turns. I want U, F, and R turns thank you.

Do a y' or [U'] cube rotation and U F L becomes U F R.

It exists. Sometimes it is called such.

Where can i find a tutorial for freestyle BLD?

Freestyle can mean a lot of different things, hence the name freestyle.

Yeah I get where you're coming from, I recently got rid of all my PLL's with L's in them.
For my J(a) I go for R U2 R' U R' (U2 + z) (so the U2 turns into an R2) U' R' D R U' (animation)
Looks weird on paper, but I find it super finger friendly.

When do you apply edge parity during 3x3 BLD? I know I asked this a while back but I can't find that post. I do edges first btw.

 

[RyanReese09]

If you had to do an odd amount of edges, then right after you have solved all the edges, (assuming old pochmann), you'd then do y' and do R(a) (left handed R perm) which, when rotated, would switch back the corners to their correct spot, and then switch the edges you'd use in Y perm for old pochmann.

 

[freshcuber]

Alright thanks. I decided that today was the day I get my BLD success. I'm good with edges but corners are gonna be rough. We'll see though.

how hard is it to solve a square 1 using the beginner's method? compared to a 3x3 or 4x4 or something of that kind. and the algorithms, are there a lot for beginners and are they long?

 

[ilikecubing]

@freshcuber

Best of luck,u can even do a U and then R perm instead of making a y' rotation and R perm.Do what you like.

 

[sub_zero1983]

Does anyone know of a place where I can find out how to get the middle 2 layers of a super square 1 back into a cube shape? I can get the outer 2 layers done but I am having a hard time with those inner layers.

Edit= Nevermind.....One of the Track's just broke.

how do you track your lightake order?

Is there a way to lubricate a V-cube 7 that doesn't require taking the cube apart? I plan on using CRC silicone and I just got my V7 so it is very stiff and is in need of lube.

A detailed response will be greatly appreciated

Pry apart the layers with your fingers and use the straw and spray a few squirts. Then repeat to the opposite side. Break in afterwards.

I need a V-perm. Badly. Can someone tell me one that has no cube rotations in it? (Hopefully easy to memo_)

I'm learning PLL's right now and the one I have is R'UR'd' R'F' R2U'R'U R'FRF

Thankyou for your response on how to lubricate a V7.

I use this V-perm and get it in about 2.5 sec.

L' U R U' L U L' U R' U' L U2 R U2 R'

EDIT: cuberr, I personally don't care for that V-Perm because of the d and F turns.

I bet at least one of those is easy to memo
