6x6x6 Pin Mod Help

I tried and I didn't notice anything particularly magical. Can you tell me pleeease. I've always had a hard time avoiding that slice. I need to redo a couple of my pins but I'm so lazy.

When you glue the two inner pieces to the core it fixes a center piece. Therefore the slice that the pins are on will always be the same colours. On my V6 it is the slice with red/orange/black/yellow that has the pins (I think I have a blue center fixed).

oh really? Interesting. I don't fully understand how that works even though you've explained it.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I finally got around to doing the pin mod again on my 6x6, making sure that the pins were very short. The cube feels great now, but one of the slices still goes out of alignment. The other two are fine and I haven't had any problems with them, but the other slice goes out with almost every turn. It's actually the slice that has all the pins glued in. Any idea why, and and advice on how to correct this?

Thanks.

I think this is because your pins are just a little too short If all your pins are actually still in, then they aren't catching the centers to move the core. My main 6x6 actually doesn't have any pins in it, and I do what Dene said. I know that my bad slice is along the white-yellow/green-blue slice. This means I can't do either orange or red for my first 2 centers, and I have to do all 3x3 parities on the orange or red face. It doesn't work out too bad, since my "bad" slice doesn't quite misalign too much. I think that may be from only sanding down the smallest inner pieces enough to leave a slight bump left.

Hey, I got my 6x6 and sure enough started MMP's mod. My first attempt at doing the pins were a fail as it fell of. I think it was because I didn't let the glue dry enough. I'm doing it a second time and I'm leaving the core right in front of a fan overnight. If that doesn't work I guess its the glue. I'm using UHU All Purpose Glue. It does say permanent on the side so it might work for a while. Perhaps I'll get an even stronger one tomorrow if it doesn't work.

Hooray for school holidays! Which are coming to an end here...

@rach: Ok bro, will get another one.

As expected, a phail. So for now I have no 6x6.
