so Lubicle 1 is good

Heck yea.

Have you made a magnetic 6x6 or 7x7? Like Yuxin or Qiyi cause they are light for 6x6 and 7x7. Many other 6x6s and 7x7s are like 30g heavier than the Yuxin and Qiyi ones.

I've magnetized an Aoshi. I'm not sure if it was worth the work (really difficult to place magnets), but I definitely wouldn't go back to a stock Aoshi now that I have the magnetized one. I would recommend 4x2 n35 for the outer layers, and at least 3x2 n52 for the inner slice, stronger if you can get them, but 4mm doesn't fit in the Aoshi there. I've had an Aofu and a Yufu apart, and it would be possible to magnetize the edges, but the corners are not magnetizeable.

I've made a magnetic 7x7 before, it was pretty good, I used the WuJi

I don't suppose you're at liberty to tell which magnets you used for that, are you?

Chris, please tell us what magnets you use in each cube. I really enjoy putting magnets in cubes more than buying them because it's not fun at all.

He's kind of not allowed

 

[gavinz]

He's kind of not allowed

I know rip

 

[Rcuber123]

If/when he leaves he would probably be nice enough to tell us.

He probably still won't be allowed

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

yeah that's definitely not how it works.

After u leave a company I aren't instantly allowed to tell everyone the company "secrets".

 

[gavinz]

You know that it will go with you and your reputation for keeping a company's secret. It would be harder to get into another job.

In my 5x5 I used 4x2 N35. They give very subtile force to mu stickerless qiji, so for 7x7 it would be ok, but if 4mm doesn't fit, the strongest 3x2 N52 is still 17% weaker. I would say, for the cubes that cannot accept 4 mm magnets, you don't gain much by magnetising them. Some stability.

 

[mitja]

If you use two 3x1 N50 magnets toogether it would work nice in a 7x7 and fit small space. But it would be lots of magnets 288.

This conversation probably belongs in one of the magnets threads rather than the cubicle labs thread, but . . .

There are 3 different sets of magnets in a 7x7 that will never interact with each other. Within a set it's probably good to be consistent, but different sets can be different to accommodate cube geometry. I've never messed with rectangular magnets, but that would be an option too. As far as doubling, something like that in necessary in even-layered cubes along the middle slice, but if you're thinking of the yj/moyu corners I'm skeptical of the possibility of fitting even a single 3x1 in there, much less two.

Agreed, somebody started it so just tried to help About sets, I would put all the same into odd numbered cubes.

 

[One Wheel]

That's probably best, although I've seriously considered just putting magnets in the edges of my Yufu. I think you could do with weaker magnets in the corners just fine, because what magnets do in big cubes is different from what they do in 2 and 3. You still wouldn't have the benefit of magnets in the 3x3 stage, except that if the edges were stiffer it would act, well, more like a 3x3.

We are debating what magnets Chris Tran used in a WuJi.

It should be fine with 4mm diameter magnets.

Haven't got one, but will be getting one. I thought each piece would be around 8-9mm wide (7mm inside space or something) except for the outer layers which will be about 1-1.1cm.

The issue I ran into with my Aoshi (and to a lesser extent Weichuang) with putting magnets in was the mechanism that holds the two halves of the piece together, not the width of the piece.

 

[4Chan]

There's like, inner parts of plastic, just like One Wheel mentioned.

Some of the pieces aren't conducive to magnets, so.. there are some tricks involved
