Honestly.. two people on the same account can be confusing.. might be worth it to create your own? (contact the admin or a mod about that though, first)

Unboxing and short review in Polish language

Argh, I wish I could order this...
I'm just going to stick w/ the Shuang Ren though probably, I've overdone my cubing money quota as it is...

 

[Kattenvriendin]

That is the downside of this hobby. I need to wait a short month lol

 

[KCuber]

Even after looking him up I don't thin I have ever seen this guy.

It's me! Lol

 

[emolover]

It's me! Lol

Who are you?

JK I know you.

 

[Noahaha]

 

[RubiksDude]

Awesome, thanks!

One thing that is different about it (maybe cause it's a prototype) is that the outer faces look very flat. In all the other cubes I've got, you can see the internal mechanism because of plastic shrinkage. Is this the case? I like my cubes painted and at the moment I'm filing some Zhan Chi 55mms flat, what a pain.

Condolences on your phone.

The outer faces seem very flat to me. I'm not sure how to identify if the plastic shrinkage makes you able to see the mechanism though. What part of the mechanism are you talking about?

My cube arrived in Germany yesterday , can't wait till next week, when it should finally arrive at my doorstep.

If you're going to paint a cube and want a really nice finish, you have to sand the cube flat first. Here's a photo of some 55mm ZhanChi parts. The 3x3 is flat but my fingernails have scratched it up a little I'll polish it a little before painting it. But if you look at the bottom right corner, I've pointed out the sink-hole left by the internal structure. In the Zhanchi and some other Dayan cubes they have internal plates that mate together to make the corners. Those plates show up on the outside as areas where the cube surface is a little sunken. So to paint the cube the first thing to do is to lower the surface enough to hide those defects:


Side pieces have sink holes on the sides where they have pins. And the sink holes in the center caps form a square.

I guess I should add that this series of Zhan chis are built with slices taken out of the sides of the corners. I believe this will improve my finger speed for slices (I've got thick fingers).

Great! I am looking forward to that!

 

[emolover]

I better get mine today.

 

[Florian]

If I could just find my charger for my camera

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Ahhhh.. just TELL us then.. text only is ok too at this point.. we need our feed lol

 

[Florian]

ok, the cube is simply amazing. Just within a 100 solves I did a few sub9s which I do really really rarely on my other cubes. I also just made a new PLL-Attack PB (36,25)

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Way cool!

I hope you find that charger soon

 

[Florian]

I had some battery left and recorded some solves until the battery ran out. Gonna upload some of the good ones, you'll have to wait until tomorrow for the review, cause after uploading them I need to get ready for clubbing.
