Cube Hybrids/Combo's Discussion

[Rubixcubematt]

Ok, I have heard of people being annoyed at other for starting a whole new thread about a combo that they have just found, or are using. Others have been asking about different Hybrids/combo's as well, which can get a bit annoying, so they could just look at this thread and see what kinds of hybrids people have found, or a question about others. Happy discussing!

the hybrid I'm currently using is a black type A third model with black DS centers and a black type D core..I was planning to change it to a type A core but i was too lazy to change it..it feels so good already..can cut corners, feels light and extremely fast..but its loud though

i like it better than my A/D hybrid

has anyone tried a A/E/D hyrbid?

 

[McWizzle94]

For me it's every thing PuzzleProz black type A with storebought corners and it is BEAST.

I just built this hybrid:

A core
D centers/screws/springs/centers
F edges/corners

And it's pretty awesome. Doesn't pop at all, and it feels almost liquidlike. Its locks up occasionally, but is overall very responsive.

Anyway, Hybrid related question:

I'm using an A with C corners, springs, and centers. It used to feel more like a type C (quick turning speed, etc.), but now it's feeling more like an A. Any recommendations on how to get it back to that crispy C feel?

You can try the crispy type d cubies.

All I have is an A, a storebought, a C, and an F.

LOL!

BTW, has anyone ever tried a rubik's white assembly kit with an old type a core? I don't like taking apart/reassembling cubes, so I was wondering if anyone else has tried this and what their results were.

Just tried the hybrid and it sucks. Don't try it.

I'm currently using this setup, and it's a BEAST:

Old Type A Core
Type D centers, corners, springs
Store Edges

It's insane.

salambert, im planning to try out your hybrid but i wanted a black one..would the color of the plastic matter? many people have mentioned that white plastic is smoother..but if not, i guess il buy a white type A..

 

[36duong]

I tried salmabert's hybrid, except I lost my White Old Type A along time ago. I tried doing it with black first, and I note although it is a stable an fast turning cube, it doesn't cut corners well at all.

I then tried it using a White (d) and and a Old New Type A (The one with the nubs) I cut off the nubs with a scalpel knige, and assembled the cube. From what I have gathered so far (unlubed) It is "Crispy" smooth, cuts corners better than the black, but not to near 45 degrees.

Nevermind, I like lotsofsloths' D-CAF cube much better. >.<

D springs and centers
C screws
A core
F edges, corners

 

[vloc15]

BTW, i requested lotsofsloths to make a video bawt that hybrid or maybe even better cubes for thaht..guess what?? he is using an Edison cube right now..he has 5 cubes and he ranked them as follows:
1st Edison cube
2nd rubiks DIY new model
3rd joy cube
4th the D-CAF combo
5th DAF combo(that's without the C screw)

does anyone know where to buy an Edison cube?

Unfortunately, from what I read from other people posts, it seems my hybrid only works for some people, and I have heard that not all of them cut corners good. Remember to tension the cube right, to round the centers and to sand the pieces before reviewing.
