Looking for a v-cube 7x7 spare piece

[wontolla]

I broke one of the edges of my v-cube 7x7 and I wonder if there is someone in the forum that has spare pieces and could sell me one.

I searched the forum and found two year old threads about this so I'm not sure if they fixed their 7x7 or not. And if people like Izovire or Stachu still have spare pieces to sell.

Also my cube is 6 months old, and apparently V-CUBES only send you a replacement within a 30 day period after the purchase.

Thank you for your help.

Here is a picture of the piece:

If I am correct you can buy that piece from V-cubes and it will cost like 5 with S+H.

If not you could set one of those pieces in a double sided clay mold, let it dry, then fill it with resin or plastic putty. If you do go this route please tell me how it goes.

Ah, thanks, I just sent v-cubes a message about buying the piece from them. I'm waiting for a response.

In the meantime I put back the piece and the cube works pretty well. I think that the center, the one that usually pops. could do it more often. But hey, the puzzle is still usable.

I'll let you people know if v-cubes sends me a replacement.

I got a piece from izovire for free when I ordered a cube from him. Not sure if you're willing to purchase anything from him right now but that's one option.

Have you actually done that and had it work?

I am almost certain I already told you this. No, I have not. But I know that a lot of other cubers on twistypuzzles have done this and have even made entire puzzles this way.

the same thing happened to me on my 4x4 just try to epoxy or mold it back on

That happened to my QJ 5x5. I just super glued it together and put it back in the puzzle. It worked for me but I don't know how strong it holds. It hasn't snapped yet and it's been a couple months.
