V5 mod

[sonicalex10]

So I modified my v cube 5, but it is still clicking on the outsides. I used an exacto knife, and sandpaper (150). Should I keep cutting it down till it works, or something else...?

Just keep sanding it down.

No, you should still have a little clickyness. Its like removing the ball bearings on a pryaminx or a skewb, it just doesnt feel right.

 

[freshcuber]

There should be some clickiness but this lessens as you break in the cube after you have completed the mod. It'll never be zomg smooth, at least I don't think it will be, correct me if anyone has an insanely smooth V-5, but it should get smoother as you go. I'd say that right now my outer layers feel similar to my GuHong before I did the 48-point edge mod to it.

How long have you had it? I suggest breaking it in first, then doing the mod. I myself actually believe the mod is pointless.

It doesn't do anything to improve the performance of the cube but some people just don't like the feel of it. I'm fine with clicky cubes but before the mod it's not clicky it just feels bumpy. I found that obnoxious. If you're okay with the cubes feel then yes, it is pointless. But if you're not and you want to make it smoother it's not pointless. I do 5x5 more now because I like it's feel better.

This results in an orgasmic cube. Really.

I sanded it down more, and it is way better now. Not perfecto, and it sill needs to be broken in. Should I spray it with silicone?

Asking that is like not lubing a Guhong.

 

[sonicalex10]

Should you lube a Guhong. I dont own a Guhong cube.

Lol yes, GuHongs are pretty bad unlubed.

 

[sonicalex10]

Haha ok thanks

 

[sonicalex10]

What about lubing a v-cube 7. Is that essential.

 

[freshcuber]

I don't understand what you're asking.

I think lubing most cubes are essential

 

[sonicalex10]

Well the v7 is already really good. So will lubing it make it any better?

 

[JianhanC]

Yes, it does. I would recommend Jig-a-Loo, but any works fine really. Can't wait to get my hands on a can, I'm just using Maru now, and it wears out fast.

 

[danthecuber]

Yes, it does. I would recommend Jig-a-Loo

I'd like to contradict. When I use jigaloo on my guhong, it ate into the plastic badly and now the surface of the pieces are very uneven. I wish I had used lubix instead.

 

[freshcuber]

Jig-a-loo damages your plastic. If you're going to use a silicone spray then I'd reccomend CRC.

 

[iLUVcubing]

i recommend this
best silicone lube ive ever used, easy to apply, cheap and u get 420ml
