Why are you only asking half a question? If you know what the rest of the WR cubes are, could you please post them?
You could have written " I know that the WR cube for 2x2 is ???, but what about these?"

EDIT: Pyraminx is QJ with stickers

2x2x2:Lanlan
3x3x3: Dayan Guhong
4x4x4: Dayan+MF8
5x5x5:V-Cube
6x6x6:V-Cube
7x7x7:V-cube

Happy?
Now can someone answer my question?

 

[freshcuber]

I just got my V-Cube 6 today and I've got some questions. Do they usually come unlubed? Both my V5 and V7 came and were practically dripping some terrible crap they call lube. It was all over the puzzle and my hands before I had even scrambled it but the V6 seems dry to me. Even the cubies themselves don't feel lubed. Also, is CRC good for the V6(and other large V-Cubes)?

Second, just got my first misalignment while working out parities. Not encouraging. What's the best way to fix them? I just found a side that turned and did some tripple layer turns and went back to the other side and it was movable again.

What do the rivets they use look like? To me it appears there's a screw in there but I haven't tried to play with them yet.

Edit: Sorry one more, my CRC has black lettering on the label by I've seen some with red lettering. Is there a difference? It's still CRC Heavy Duty Silicone.

 

[EricReese]

CRC is fine with vcubes. VCube 6 requiers a lot of mods to get good. Plus breaking it in. As for the misalignments, not sure.

 

[freshcuber]

Yea I plan on doing the pin mod when I have two days to just spend sanding and glueing and generally wanting to kill myself lol. So I should take it apart, lube it, break it in, and then just deal with it until I mod it?

Still need an answer on the rivet/screw question.

 

[danthecuber]

I'll rephrase the question:

What brand do you reccomend for these puzzles?

-pyraminx
-megminx
-magic
-master magic
-clock
-square-1

 

[freshcuber]

In order

QJ
Megaminx
Doesn't really matter
See above(sanding corners of tiles on magics does help though)
I only know of the Cubetwist
mf8 ball core

 

[danthecuber]

what for megaminx?

 

[Erzz]

Having quite a bit of trouble generating algs with ACube. It sits at "Depth 8..." or "Depth 9..." for ever. Should I let it do more moves, or will it eventually work it out?

 

[EricReese]

Does this sound like I need to redo the corner mod?

 

[freshcuber]

Lol sorry 'bout that I don't know what I was doing.

mf8 unless you have the money to blow on a Mefferts. Some people still think the mf8 is better. I have one but I never solve Megaminx. It's not terrible but sometimes a side twists so I can't turn the one I want too. When you get your Megaminx take it apart and fix the tensions. Mine were so uneven when I looked I was shocked.

Well, using fewer types of moves means that the search will go faster, so adding types of moves will only increase the time it takes. I would just let it go, I usually just let it run and do something else for a while.

 

[Keban]

I found that you need to break it in after the corner mod, after about a week it should be really smooth.

 

[EricReese]

What do you guys do for this case on the last 2 edges for 5x5. Assume the front face is all orange. O = blue, X = green

O X
X O
O X

The way I do it now is really really slow..any advice?

Hopefully I'm understanding your diagram correctly, but I'd do the following:
u [right edge swap] u' d [right edge swap] d'
I'm assuming you're using normal reduction and don't need them oriented.

My question:
Is there a name for this 6x6 piece? I lost one and was going to try contacting Vcube...unless someone has a better suggestion.
