    Square one UD layers too tight.

    I just got a Square 1 XMan Volt 2 fully magnetic. The slice layers are very smooth and easy to turn, but the up and down face are very tight and hard to turn. I know nothing of how the internals work, so is there a way to loosen the U/D without messing with the slice?

    2x2 Core Magnets

    We are just talking theory here, as not too many have them yet, but aren't the core magnets on a 2x2 pointless? On a 3x3 I understand how it can potentially help stability. The core magnets prevent the cube from being warped out of shape. I think the out of shape thing happens because the...

    WTB Puzzles Locally (Ontario, Canada)

    Shipping to me can get crazy, which most of the time I don't mind. However when buying used, if I want a puzzle that is say $4, and then it's $34 shipped, it sucks. Trading is worse, because if we want to trade puzzles, then the shipping is crazy each way. So is there anyone in or near Perth...

    Void cube sticker mod?

    I just want to make sure that I'm not missing an important part of the definition of a void cube. I haven't seen many of them out there. Is it just that there is no centers? Or is there something I am missing that defines the void cube. I ask because that would be the easiest sticker mod...

    Trying to understand this lube better.

    Hey all, Beginner here, and I'm using Cubing Out Loud's Saxophone lube. Found here. Question 1: Feels sticky at first then that goes away after a few solves. Is it drying out that fast, or is that breaking it in? It's listed as a silicone lube. Question 2: I'm new and my turns are going to be...

    Puzzle storage and transportation

    How do folks store your cubes, and or transport them? A cardboard box is fine, however in my house things get moved around by people, and I want some protection in between the cubes. Not necessarily rough movement, but I'm afraid of even gentle sliding back and forth is enough for the cubes to...

    Set up with Gan V3 Springs on even nxn

    Might be an unpopular opinion, but even numbered nxn puzzles should NOT have the GES V3 system. I have the 251 which came loose, and not at an even tension. I hate trying to do anything with it. The wrench is hard to fit into where it goes making any adjustments a nightmare. Find an even...

    Parts compatibility

    If I get 2 RS3M 2020s, one stickerless, and one stickered, would the cubies, be interchangable with each other? Also would I be able to add magnets to both of them? The idea is to take the stickers off of one to make it all black. Then swap the stickerless cubies in until I have a cross. Then...

    (Found) WTB Gan ges springs V4 Yellow, Green, Purple.

    I bought a Gan 356 M Lite, and regret not getting the full version that has the extra springs. Now I want to try to make it tighter, but can't justify buying a whole new cube. If anyone has these laying around unneeded, and are willing to sell that would be amazing! I've found a couple places...
