just a video I made now that I'm comfortable with the puzzle. I can turn faster with this mega than I could with any other.

What do you think about its lockups?


I no longer have the fastest solve on youtube with it

 

[choza244]

Any opinions about the ridges? is it better?

I think that is just mainly from my turning. Robert said it looked like I need a bit more breaking in although I've done over 100 solves for sure.

I like em. Gives a rounder feel to the pieces, although that might just be from its size in general.

Do the surfaces have a tendency to be slippery? Since they aren't actually tiles. I know the Mefferts minxes didn't have that problem but the MF8 ones did.

At last! My Dayan Megaminx is done
No one has posted a picture yet (or I haven't seen it) so I believe that this is first DaYan Megaminx with tiles

I just ordered mine, and I am pretty excited to get it!

I'm worried about my Dayan megaminx cause I ordered mine from Ali-express 2 weeks ago and it said it would be here by the 26th of October and I want it before the Indiana 2012 comp. that in 1 week.

Nick Rech tiled his yesterday, not that it matters.

Got mine today. Loostened the screws liek 10 turns and it still dose not pop.

 

[Robert-Y]

I just want to point out what I think could be the cause of some of the faces which turn poorly. It seems to me that parts of the core may need some sanding down. I even took a screw completely off one face and the face still refused to turn well and I think it's the excess plastic from the core that is causing the problem. Not only this, but it may be that the screws aren't completely straight. However, it's still a very decent megaminx nevertheless. I'm just posting this in case anyone starts to complain and get frustrated.

Yeah, but his looks a lot better than mine. xP

Also, I'm still not sure if I'm going to use this minx for my next comp... I think I'm just gonna work on it and practice with it for the next month and see what happens. I'll probably try fixing what Rob was saying about the core (Thanks for bringing that to our attention, by the way. ). Hopefully that'll get rid of at least some of the lock ups.

Does the ridges get in the way of applying the corner tiles? And how much do you need to sand the center tiles to make them fit?

Not really, no

And how much do you need to sand the center tiles to make them fit?

On the corners a little bit, but it needs more sanding at the bottom because it has (I should have taken a photo, because I don't know how to name it ) 2 little 'things' which fit in 2 holes in MF8's center caps.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Oh those nubbies. Man that is quite some work then to do all that!

 

[MrRubiksUFO]

I tiled mine last Saturday and I don't think that the center tiles need any sanding except for the two bumps. They fit well.

 

[antoineccantin]

I just did the "48 point edges point edges mod" on it. Its now way smoother, and locks up much less.

edit: 1:13.50 2nd solve with epic AUF fail (shoulda been 1:10.xx)

 

[arcio1]

I was thinking about doing it, probably I will do it next weekend
