    Eliminating Lubrication with a Mechanical Backstop

    If you added a little backstop (just a small lump of metal) to each of the six arms that form the core of a cube, so there's a backstop just below each centerpiece, the backstops would prevent the springs inside the centerpieces from pushing the centerpieces inwards any further than the position...

    Any tips for handling epoxy filler?

    I know that this is a little bit off topic, but please continue reading. I’m currently modding a 5x5 to make a 5x5x3. I’m considering cutting the top and bottom off, but that needs epoxy filler. Is it worth the danger? How should I handle the filler?

    Why extend a puzzle (while modding)?

    I'm pretty new to modding. I've only had experience with the Florian mod. I want to get into making puzzles out of other puzzles, which usually involves filling, extending, and a lot of sanding (not in that order haha). I understand everything except the extending. What do you use for it? Why do...

    how far can you cut into a v-cube 7?

    If you're modding a v-cube 7, what exactly are the "boundaries" of where you can cut into the cube without destroying it? P.S I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question, seeing as this fourm is more about speedsolving than modding, but it's one of the few cubing fourms I know...
