The stem keeps the center piece from wobbling in place. I have a defected LingYun that didn't have a stem, which made it very horrible to turn on that side.

Restickering

you must have a hard time restickering your cubes then, haha.

OH GOD! You don't even know! I go through at least 2 sets for one cube!

So I took my wit two v1 apart and on all 12 edges I used super glue to weld the joint together and then sanded it smooth (400 then 600 grit) with sandpaper. Definitely less obnoxiously clicky but maybe a bit slower. Working on breaking it in to see if it will speed back up. I still like my v2 better but it seems I'm in the minority on that.

Is it the lingyun center piece, but just without the stem? Because I can't really imagine how that would happen.

Zhanchi mods that are & aren't recommended?

Guys, I'm modding my Zhanchi's, I do the 48 pt mod, Izo's CPM mod, on the corner pieces I smooth out the bottom of the stem and the 3 ridges on top of the stem. I'm trying to basically make a Lubix Elite and I see a lot of YouTube Zhanchi mods. I remember that Izo was telling someone about a mod that actually weakens the support of the Zhanchi so I was wondering what mods are and aren't recommended to make your Zhanchi super slippery?

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Don't bother with any really. It doesn't need them

If you insist, then one that is an actual waste is the 48point edge mod, since the points that are modded aren't contact points for the Zhanchi, only for the guhong.

Shaving down your cube

Hi guys,
Has anyone ever tried to shave down their 57mm cube to a smaller one? Id like a 55mm cube for OH, and i have an extra guhong II that's just sittin there. Anyone wanna try it? Am i the first one whonthought about this?

 

[applemobile]

Yeah, that isn't going to work

 

[uniacto]

if you did that, wouldn't the pieces be irregular? like, the centers and edges would be bigger than the corner pieces.

and it would look weird.

If i'm not mistaken, the a-v has a big center and smaler pieces.
Also, i mean shaving down the sides, like 1mm on all sides.

 

[Antikrister]

I just measured my guhong v2, it has 1.2 mm thick walls. Go for it dude...

Wait, no. It's thinner at the edge where it has the sticker that is adjacent to the next sticker on the other edge part. THAT MADE NO SENSE.
Like 0.8-0.9mm

Cubies are hollow, if you tried to shave off 2mm of plastic you wouldn't have anything left.

it'd be 1 mm off each side, but yea, most likely, you'd probably shave through the cubie xD

Risk it for a chocolate biscuit

SS 4 x 4 Konsta/Florian MOD

Hello guys. I've been debating on whether I should do the Konsta/Florian MOD or not, and on What Cube.
I will leave some information below, and make a poll above. What I am leaning towards right now, is
doing Konsta/Florian on a Black ShengShou 4 x 4 v3 Using SubXX Florian Stickers as a guide. Please
comment on why or why not I should do the MOD, and give me some advice on doing it. Tell me your
results with this MOD if you have done it, and what benefits you got.

* Note: I have ABSOLUTELY no experience with modding, so this is kinda a risk

 

[jayefbe]

There's tons of information already on the forum and YouTube that would answer all of your questions. A search would be much more productive than starting a new thread.

How are you going to use stickers to help your mod? The majority of the plastic you remove isn't even visible from the outside.

Just follow cyoubx's tutorial. That's what I did. As far as which cube, good luck finding a v3. I have a modded v5 that is absolutely amazing.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Stop making so many threads and search please! Anyway v3 with konsta/florian is supposed to be best.

I've spent a lot of time on modding Zhanchis.
Cpm is useless
48pm makes it faster, especially slices. Great mod.

I came up with my own mod which is shaving down the sides of the center caps a bit to reduce friction, it makes it faster.

What did you use to do the 48pm? Would like a nail file be fine lol?
