Moyu 4*4 WeiSu 魔域威速

[littlewing1208]

Has anyone experienced little 'chips' of plastic coming off of the corner of the edge pieces on the WeiSu? I opened mine to resticker and lube/tension last night and a lot of black plastic chips were inside and quite a few of the edge pieces had chunks missing on the 'corner' of the edge piece....odd.

How bad are these chips?

it feels solid, doesn't pop, and the layers are very even-feeling. Very lingyun-esque but with different plastic

I just got mine. It's fast, and will definitely be my new main. Video review coming in a couple days.

I figured this puzzle would be good, it's getting nothing but good reviews so far aside from this edge chipping form this person. Haven't seen anybody else have the issue yet so maybe it was just your cube or something.

Just to be clear, before I took the stickers off and took it apart, I REALLY liked it. I have 2 SS v3s (one modded and one unmodded), 2 V4s (one modded, other not), and 1 unmodded V5. The WeiSu is better out of the box than all of them. I wonder if they chipped because I didn't lube it for 40 or so solves before taking it apart to lube/tension. The stock tension was kind of tight.

Hmm... I hope this is just your cube and not some quality control issue. Even if you didn't lube it and stock tension was tight, it shouldn't chip like it did in the pics. So does that mean that now your cube is unusable?

There is a post in the mf8 forum where the jy person said that the chips occur due to the fact that the mould has been changed so many times. He is getting a new mould but thats going to take time. The chips are nothing to worry about and after a few days breaking in the cube will be at its maximum potential. Just throw the chips away.

I just ordered one from wallbuys. Can't wait!

So, the cube is out, and has been for a while, and I still haven't received my Prototype. Calvin, (I don't mean to be mean or disrespectful, I'm just curious) isn't the point of prototype testers to show the public what the cube is like BEFORE it comes out? I still enormously appreciate you sending all of us free cubes, I just don't understand.

Thanks!

Well this $#!+ just got real. Do an average with redux and tell me what happens k?

I sent mine to the wrong address....

It'll hopefully be here tomorrow. Can't believe I did that.

I am looking forward to mine turning up in a few days time however I am startled by just how much damage can occur to it within so few solves. I'm worried that the puzzle will continue to deteriorate quickly, however if Hays' 1st impressions are anything to go by I guess I will get another once the quality has been improved.

LOL. Me too. I sent it to an address I moved out of a year ago. Luckily the young lady who answered the door was understanding and is happy for me to pop round for it when it arrives.

Hopefully the molds have been fixed and there are no faulty batches out there anymore. I guess it's just up to the luck of draw for everyone that has been ordering their cubes recently. People should map where they got their puzzles from as well; Maybe the faulty batches did not ship to every cubing shop equally.

Another note: My cube got a lot better after about 75 solves or so. I'll do a good average of 12 with reduction later and upload that tonight, along with a full review sometime soon. All I've done to mine is tension it, use maru and z lube, and do a ton of solves.

Did you lube and tension it straight away or did you break those 75 solves in with an out-of-the-box cube?
