MoYu (魔域) HuanYing (幻影) new mechanism 3x3x3 speed cube

[YddEd]

what if I told you guys that I have a purple Moyu with glitter? O.o (and it came without stickers)

Do you have a green one? O.o

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Purple with glitter.. lemme guess.. pieces have ridges?

The MoYu HuanYing is louder than I like... Has anyone been too annoyed with this to make it their main? I like the cube, but it's just too noisy.

I just got this cube today, here are my first impressions.

First the stickers: They are not your normal stickers, the are almost like a half bright set. Also the stickers are square, they aren't fitted.

Next the center caps: When I got the cube the center caps were protruding up and I still can not push them down, I am going to look at the screws later on.

The turning: The turning is great, It came pre-lubed and I don't think I need to lube it at all, it has a slight scratchy feel, also it has a dry feeling even with lube in it but I personally like that feeling.

The springs: On 4 of the sides I can here spring noises.

Corner cutting: The normal corner cutting on this cube out of the box is great, it can can past 45 degrees with nor problem at all, it can also reverse cut nearly a full cubie without much effort.

The cube also has a very cheap feeling, but still preforms great.

All in all, I like this more then my Zhanchi, personally I hate my zhanchi though. I recommend this cube to anyone skeptical about buying it.

I have a second one coming my way and I will be testing that cube by filling the corners with glue or anything that will work to see if I can get rid of the noise.

For people who doesn't believe me about the purple cube...

go for higher res for better view of the glitter O.o

 

[Lagom]

So... if it was a Zhanchi, then it would be a Zhanchi?

If it was of the same plastic quality of a Zhanchi; It would beat the Zhanchi...

Anyone else try to apply the stickers that came with the HuanYing with application tape? I found they were very slightly off so I applied them manually. Also the bright orange stickers aren't quite opaque enough so they get dark when applied to a black cube. They also are very stiff almost like a hybrid tile/vinyl sticker. Now I'm annoyed that I didn't just put some cubesmiths on it .

Ive been using my Huanying for a while now, and I've gotta say its definitely the best cube on the market.

I'm not too found of the feeling and the loudness tho, so I put some sound damping foam in all the pieces. It made it heavier and a bit more quiet. The feeling got a little better and less "toy-ish".

Can you give a link to the damping foam product you used?

Its cheap universal stuff from my "hardware" store. I cut out pieces of about 2x2 inches

Luckily you can still do that I am thinking about doing the same. When nervous (at a competition) my hands get slippery. And Moyu stickers are very slippery. With Cubesmith stickers I don't seem to have that problem. Also, the standard (halfbright) Cubesmith stickers for 57 mm cube are bigger, which help me with better lookahead. I have nearly no look ahead with the Moyu. I am expecting a black Moyu any day now. If lookahead goes better on the black one (which normally is the case with me) the Moyu will be my main.

That is pretty cool! Did you get it by accident? what did you order?

 

[yockee]

Corner twists happens if your tension is too loose. I like my tension so that the cube can cut 45° but only barely and I have had 0 twists so far.
I also have a fangshi and I agree that it takes too much force to turn.

My fangshi is effortless to turn after cleaning all lube off the pieces.

I ordered a black one stickered and assembled

Any chance you could make a small video of this?
