A Non-Clicking Mod For The V-Cube 6

[Ellis]

My intention is to remove the popping by sanding the stalks of the corners where they get under the centers and cause them to pop out. I might also sand down the pointy part of the centers if that helps.

So... you don't want to sand the edges when it has been proven to work, but you are willing to sand corners and centers?

Dene, don't go sanding the corner necks, that isn't what causes the popping, its the internal midges pushing up forcing the centers out. You just need to sand the U shape sides that touch the core down flat. Iv done this and it hardly ever pops now and the outer layers turn really nice now, almost as good as my v-5 and still have the clicking

Are you so sure about that? Have you taken out the two edge pieces and looked as you did a U rotation? The stalks most definitely get up under the centers and push them out. We'll see how it goes - I've already started and it's fine for now.

I was going by what Dan told me about it. All iv done is the Frank mod. I just pulled 2udges and done some U turns and the corners arent pushing the centers anymore. I think its the midges causing the corners to do that.

Joshua: So, the cause is the midges, you sanded the inner pieces, I'm sanding different ones, what does that matter? (Note, I will probably do the mod anyway, if I have time this week).

I just finished sanding the inner core pieces I have to say I`m impressed that my 6x6x6 turns so well.

Have to say big thank you for description of this modification

 

[Dene]

Well I did my own mod, and so far so good. I did one solve, without even attempting to go slowly, and it didn't pop once. I will test it more extensively when I get back to Christchurch next week.

Phew! Now it's done, took me whole day to make the first three mods. And now it's really really nice, no more clicking and the pieces don't pop as much as before. So if you think your V Cube 6 sucks, do the mods, they'll help a lot.

 

[AvGalen]

I have one 6x6x6 that turns really nice, but pops and "center-misaligns" like crazy. I think it can't hurt to try these mods on them

 

[ShadenSmith]

You really should Arnaud, I'm sure it would help.

 

[Liquiddi]

Deffinately if you have that problem, do the mods (At least the first three, the fourth is kinda hard). What I noticed was when I turned it first time after I was finished, I was able to do even the roughest of fingertrick and without the clikking, no pieces came out at all. It takes lots and lots of time and even more patience, but is highly recommended.

I did mods 1 and 3. At first I had done mod 3 by itself, but I had a terrible problem after that with the center slices not clicking in place. Adding mod 1 made all the difference in the world, and now I'm quite happy with it.

But I'm wondering - am I likely to get any real benefit from mod 2 now? My 6x6x6 now pops about as much as my 7x7x7 (which is pretty rare) - it's almost always due to really sloppy turning when it happens. I'm not sure if I really want to bother with doing mod 2, and mod 4 definitely looks involved, so I'm inclined to just stick with what I have now.

All of them make it smooth and non-clicky.

Well specifically, the 2nd gets rid of the outer layer clickyness, & the 4th gets rid of the inner clickyness.
