C4Y hardware problems

[yeee707]

Hello, I'm trying to make a c4y core and springs with c-ii cubies hybrid. However, I can't seem to be able to tighten the screws farther than a certain point, yet the cube still feels extremely loose. I can still turn the screws, but it doesn't tighten. Did I strip the core or something? I really want to try that hybrid.

Are the springs upside down?

I put the wide part near the screw head, because I think it's the only way it can go in.

Is this happening to all 6 sides? try disassembling it and screwing in JUST the screws. make sure you are using the C4Y screws and not the C screws. the C screws are thinner. this may be your problem.

I love this hybrid combo and have made several and have not run into this issue.

It does sound like you stripped the core. If not then you must have done something wrong.

I am using the c4y screws, and I think that it may be due to the fact that I gotthe Long screws instead of the short ones. Did you use the short screws for your hybrid?

 

[HowSuneIsNow]

the new longer screws are for the 3x3x4 and gigaminx not the 3x3x3. you need the regular screws.

Well that sucks. Looks like I have to spend 3 dollars to ship somethng that weighs the same as a penny.
