Maru CX3 - New 3x3x3

[SenileGenXer]

Could it really be lubed with Maru? I mean, I know it's a Maru cube, but wouldn't that stuff have evaporated by the time the cube got to you? I'm just speculating.

Anyway, cool and please make video, Marcel!

I think Maru lube is a suspension. It is ultra fine particles of silicone lube suspended in some thin medium. Medium might be water i don't know. Leave a drop of maru lube out on a clean piece of glass the medium evaporates in less than an hour leaving behind the silicon lube on the surface. What is left is clear thick and somehow cakey but it's still lube and not that different other kinds of silicone lubes we are used to.

Leave a bottle of Maru lube on the shelf undisturbed for months and the bottom of the stuff starts to become clear. Shake it well and it goes back to uniformly white.

That said there needs to be way more CX3 videos published. Thank you Marcel for yours. I really want to see more real people who bought this cube post their impressions of it. I really want to see what people think of the stickerless and transparent versions.

Ah, I see what the problem is now. I hadn't yet subscribed to your channel! Subscribed now. Thanks for video!

If only they made it in primary colour. I'm fairly set on that base colour and its a shame it's so rare

I will have a review up once school and work slow down a bit.

I just got mine in the mail about an hour ago. I immediately fell in love with this cube, it is controllable, smooth, doesn't pop. All that it was rumored to be an more. The size that everyone keeps talking about is not noticeable to me at all. Feels just fine. Right out of the box it is the way that I would like it to be. I did an Ao12 and got my PB which included a PB single (23.58). Also in my order (cubicle.us) was a clock (this thing sucks, I had heard out of the box they do but MAN! EDIT: it has gotten better with breaking in), a SS pyraminx, and the Weilong. Although its only been an hour or so with limited solves, these two cubes are already going to be my go-to cubes. I like the feel of the CX3 a little bit better but the Weilong has nicer stickers.

How is the noise? Is it clicky or hard plastic noise? Or swishy like a Fangshi?

It is clicky in sound, but not in feel like the PanShi. I hate that cube with a passion and when I heard that the CX3 was clicky too it made me worry a little but there is no similarity in feel WHAT-SO-EVER!

Speed vs Weilong and Fangshi?
No corner twists?

Pretty much any newer cube can twist corners just FYI.

I think what he means by Corner Twists is that while scrambleing/solving a corner gets twisted by accident like what happens on the Fangshi v1.

 

[sk8erman41]

not an issue with any solve/scramble I have done yet. I only have about 65 solves on it so far, but based on the stablity I don't see this being an issue at all

Yeah. That can happen on any cube. If I turn too harshly I can make it happen on a zhanchi, weilong, probably this too.

Even a rubik's brand?

The newer cubes. Not blocky old designs.

All these new cubes excite me . I hope this cube performs highly well, but in a different way. I don't know if this is good or not, because I am currently clueless about this puzzle.

What cut of stickers fits this the best?

Looks like type c4/c5 or the fangshi cut stickers.

Regular stickers will work. If you want fitted, ZhanChi fitted stickers are probably the closest you can get at the moment.
