A Non-Clicking Mod For The V-Cube 6

... the cube is amazing after mod,but i have broblems..some time the cube is stuck...i don't make part 4.
 
I've just completed the 4 step mod process on my white V-cube 6, and here are my immediate results:

Superglue sucks when you get peices glued to your fingers ;)

All kidding aside, here's what I've found:

Gluing the inner wings was easy enough.
Sanding down the centers of the corner pieces and base, as well as flattening the bumps on the inner edges - time consuming but helps reduce clicks.
Pin mod: I'm still undecided on this one. I've sanded down everything so that it's flat, clipped off the bumps on the inner internal wing pieces, and here's what I've noticed:

I get *NO* lockups at all now. No pops, (but the cube is still new and not worked in yet) but I do get white shavings from turning which I expect will happen for a while until I work it in (because of the pins).

My question is to those that have had this mod for a while now: Do you find you start getting lockups as you use the cube more and more? I mean, I suspect that eventually the amount of friction would be reduced caused by the pins because they make grooves in the center pieces and don't hold anymore... Or is this not really the case?

I guess what I'm asking is has anyone had the pin mod eventually fail or does it still work even after having it for a long time?

I was the first one to do the modification (of course) & I've had no internal lockups with normal use.

How fast do you turn? I don't have many problems, but if I'm not careful and I go crazy turning fast it happens a little bit. Of course my V6 is definitely much looser than yours. (This is an assumption based on my experience of many other V6s, and my guess that I have used mine a lot more than you).
 
Thanks for the info - I was mostly curious about the reliability of the pin mod - so far though it seems to be working beautifully :)

I'm going to mod my black v-cube 6, but not for a little while yet - it's quite the undertaking to do it all in 1 sitting but now that I've done it once, it'll be a little easier the second time knowing what to look for, etc.

Can a similar mod be done with the V5?
...I know, it's been 7 months...

There haven't been any pop or stability issues with the V5, so no mods are needed.

If you want to remove the bumpy feel to it you can sand down the bases of the corner stalks, you will 6 bumps per corner.

Sanding down the corner stalks does seem to decrease popping, not sure though.
 
Me Myself and Pi: IS there a way I can send you my V-6 (and money), you mod it for me, and send it back. I really want aa nice 6x6x6, and every time i dissassemble a bigger or more compilcated cube (like an Eastsheen 4x4x4) I can never put it back together. Thankyou in advance.

Chris Bird (Monkeydude1313) used to do something like this. If you ask him nicely.

I'm not sure if he still does that, I haven't heard anything about the store anymore.
 
Yeah, Cooldayr would be better. My parents don't like me modifying other people's cube because of the potential problems. Chris Bird even told me about a few he had.

Are you still looking for someone to do it? I've done many mods for myself and others (this includes the V-Cube 6 mod). Private Message me or go to my website: http://oddlespuddle.com

EDIT: Also, I know some mods that can get rid out the outer layer bumpy feel without destroying the cube with the dirt mod. I did it to my own cube.
