Puzzle Mod / Modding thread

Not seen any mods for the Dayan megaminx and searching here and Youtube found nothing.

I finished modding mine today, and it's so much better. I did 3 things, main one was to the corners where they are rounded for reverse cutting. For some reason, towards the outside the rounding is reduced, presumably to give a smaller visible hole where the pieces meet, but this extra plastic sticks out and catches on centres a lot, so I removed it (try reverse cutting a large angle, the outside bit of the corner will probably catch and you will see what bit I'm talking about). I know that is makes a difference because I first modded only one corner with this and tested it, reverse cutting was far less catchy (for that piece at least). It can cut larger angles, but most importantly it cuts smaller angles far better. Also did "48-point" edge mod and rounded corner stalks just because it might help.

I'll make a demo vid if someone wants. Now I can try megaBLD again without being screwed over by catches throwing me off doing algs .

Yes please on the video Not that I am going to mod mine, but the more info is out there, the better.

Here's a quick demo of my modded Dayan megaminx requested by popular demand p). To do: file away plastic on the corners where I show (you don't need to make it completely flat), and it will lock up a lot less. Before, if I tried even the smallest reverse cut shown it would probably lock. The other mods I mentioned above are probably less helpful and so similar to other known mods that I see no point showing them. Time to break it in fully and try and get decent at mega .

Florian Modding Rubik's 3x3

How can you Florian (or something similar) mod the Rubiks 3x3?

 

[Isaac Paurus]

i was thinking about doing this to my rubik's brand to make it more like a dayan. i would just do exactly what you would do to a 5x5. i think it'd be alot less hassle just to buy a dayan though.

I prefer the Dayan Mod myself.

Spoiler

It's where you buy a Dayan cube and hide the Rubik's one in a drawer somewhere.

Making my bad cube better.

Should I use sandpaper to sand it down. What kind of paint should I use.

I think that Gabriel Dechichi have some video on Yt explaining what mods you can do.
From me I think that you can also do center piece mod.

Will doing the centerpiece mod ( sanding off the pointy bottom of the centerpiece) on a Guhong v2 make it pop a lot?

 

[CubeRoots]

i just modded my ss 4x4x4 with the konsta mod. it feels really slow and friction-y if that makes sense (on the inner layers and on fat turns. is this normal? as i break it in will the modded internals smoothen out and then this feeling will go away?

Why would you do that?
I did godly guhong mod minus center mod and have an awsome cube now.
It's a guhong v1 but can't see why it wouldn't be the same with v2. Am in the process of modding v2.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Can the godly guhong mod be applied to a Zhanchi? If so, can you point me to a tutorial?

 

[cowabunga]

Godly guhong mod is rounding pretty much all surfaces that come into contact with each other. The Zhanchi is very good with almost no modding.
If you round off the bottom of the pieces(48 point edge mod?), lube and tension right you should have a great cube. lube and tension is most important with zhanchi i think.

Ok. I can't tension well. I like my tension except it doesn't cut. Trying looking at my most recent video to see what my Zhanchi is like. Can you give me some tips from looking at it?
