It just shaves off some excess plastic, you honestly cannot mess it up. View attachment 3933

Basically the lip over the hollow part, just shave it off.

Thanks - do you have a picture of what the corner looked like before to compare it to?

LiYing is very controllable and cuts amazing. Only downside to me is size. It is 56 mm. And I love 57 mm.

I've been using a 54.6mm cube as my main, and I love the size. Although 56mm could be too big for me, it will probably be better than a 57mm.

I don't :/ If you can find a stock photo you'll see what I mean.

I searched a bit and although all the images I could find were too small, I found a video review that showed the corner. Unfortunately I just remembered I won't be able to do the mod, or even get the cube, for a month or two because of exams. From what everyone here says, it sounds like the perfect cube...

Ohh.. Well then, after exams gogogogo

The only downside I can think of is if you don't like the clickiness, but it's actually grown on me.

I've never had a cube I would describe as clicky, but clicky sounds like a good thing...

I still really like this cube. How did the new hardware turn out, Marcel?

I wonder if there is a youtube video that goes through all the different adjectives and what they mean and the sound and the feel. If not, I think there ought to be one and I wonder who could make such a good video. I've thought of it... just don't think I'd have the time for it.

Yeah, that would be awesome. Because of my lack of experience with different cubes, I don't know what most words mean... I think my ShuangRen is smooth and I'm certain my WeiLong is uncontrollable, but most other words I'm not too sure about.
E: and I know what dead means. My GuHong v2 is a good example of a cube that died long ago.

airy, clicky, crunchy, crispy, bubbly, bumpy, buttery, blocky...

Can you think of others? I guess we tend to stick to our ABCs.

Hi, Marcel from Holland here

I could probably make it. I have enough different cubes to describe the feeling.

Make a list for me and I'll do it sometime this weekend.

Great, with the 50 mm core the cube is more stable. I like it better with the 50 mm core than with the Octopus core.

This is the mod which I did. IMHO the cube is good enough to go without mod. I have two LiYings and I modded one. This one performs slightly better than the unmodded one. Not really worth the fuzz.

Well if we've got this many after just 3 letters, this is going to be a long list...
Also airy, bumpy and buttery? I've never heard of them.

Thanks. I'll probably try modding it anyway; I need practise. I can't avoid modding a cube forever.

i need to practice this! #2 was the only one I could predict(something like R U2 R instead of just R2)

That would be awesome. Would it be too hard to compare it to real life things? I mean, take "crunchy" and then take a chip and see what sound it makes when you are chomping down on it. Just a thought.

Well, smack my bottom and call me Judy. Last week I had six 20.xx's in a row and yesterday I had six 19.xx's in a row Total Ao100 was 22.xx All stackmatted. I have gained a small bit this month. I hope it will stay this time.

Nice one Marcel . How much time do you think stackmat loses?

Well, if you always start with the cube in your hand, putting it down and waiting 2 seconds (that's what most timer take before the light is green) will mess up your start for sure. I would say more than 2 seconds. When I started the stackmatted way I had a real hard time get below 25 seconds.
