5x5x5 suicide =/

[Karma Cat]

I've been fiddling around with my new Dian Sheng 5x5x5 cube today and noticed it was extremely lose. It turns very stiff and it would lock up all the time, but the pieces where so lose that if I put a finger anywhere on the cube and lightly, lightly pushed in the direction out from the cube it would pop out half way.

I was memorizing an algorithm when all of a sudden the darn thing just crumbled in my hands. It was like it didn't want to play with me anymore

Anyway, I'm in need of instructions on how to put it together, preferably a video. And, is it possible to make it tighter so the pieces don't pop out so easely?

Diansheng 5x5 is like the eastsheen 5x5 correct?
If so, build it from the bottom up.

(I used to have a video but the reassemble is so simple that I took it down)

Just make two sets connecting 2 centers to the center on the D face.
These pairs will be a center edge and 2 edge-centers.

Then build up from there building that corner of the cube, then continuing around until you have 3 layers built.

After that do the same kind of thing for the U face layers.

Humm, humm. Alright, I'll try. Thanks=)

Do I need to put the colors back in a specific order, or can it be fixed with the parity algorithms when solving?

only the edges and corners

Middle edges and corners to be specific... (you can switch wings and centers).
