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?

If it doesn't cut well I think the tension is too loose.
Start out by making all sides the same tension and then tighten each side a little at a time until you find the sweetspot.
You should be able to take out an edge but only barely without un-screwing.

My cube is pretty tight not loose. I need someone to just show me in real life with my cube.

Yes it did look like that in the video but it is hard to tell.
How much can it cut? My Zhanchi can cut about 40-45 degree and my guhong 50-55.

Oh btw.. I molded my guhong v2.. And now it pops a lot unless the tensions are kinda tight..loose tensions make it pop a hell lot. locks up sometimes (more than sometimes) ... And there's almost no reverse corner cutting... And I dunno how but the yellow side tension keeps loosening....Please help! And no its not lubed, I'll lube it with lubix soon and see if it improves....

Has anyone tried florian modding a Zhanchi here?
I want to know how it feels after doing florian on it.

I've done a very very subtle Florian type mod to the corners of my Fangcun. It's good I guess, but it'll make your cube feel sandy if you don't polish the absolute crap out of it.

The Florian mod is to basically sculpt a Zhanchi out of the pieces lol. How much more do you want to mod a Zhanchi? Any more plastic you take off would be redundant, even detrimental to the performance.

How is it modded? Did you do something to the center pieces?

yea , I removed the flattish corners and smoothened out the bottom pointy things

I did the same with one of my modded guhongs and had a similar problem.
Using center pieces that are not modded fixed the problem for me.

i had to do that because with only the edges and corners modded , the cube locked up too much , i found out the prob was caused by the pointed bottom. I modded that , worked much better ,but then the cube flexes a lot (streches when corner cuting) feels like it'l pop evrytime

I'll take the lingyun. Arent lingyuns 55 mm?

 

[Clarkeeyyy]

I think so but I don't know what version it is and I would rather sell it or mod it than give it away.

 

[Lchu613]

I would take the lunhui/lingyun

but...
you're asking for mods, right?
