Eastsheen 5x5 unscrewing itself problem

[Andrew2448]

I got an eastsheen 5x5 about a month and a half ago (for Christmas) and I can't get through a full solve before the yellow side starts to unscrew itself. It gets so loose that I can't even turn the cube without it falling apart. I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions on what to do, other than buying a new one.

You could maybe get some screws and springs. Other than that, get a V-Cube 5.

put some superglue in the hole, let it dry, them re-assemble it

Just to let you know, screws and springs will not work on an eastsheen 5x5. Adding springs adds pressure to the core, causing the cube to unscrew itself and explode.

So I take it apart, unscrew it, put some glue in the hole, screw it back in, and then let it dry? Also, how much glue should I use?
And don't worry, I didn't plan on using the springs, I'm not that heavy of a modder.

Just add a drop to the tip of the screw maybe put a piece of paper or foam under the cap. (It helps with preventing the screwf rom popping out)

Alright, I see what I can do once I get some super glue. Thanks for the help guys.

Upon a closer inspection, I saw that they yellow core tube has a crack in the part where the bottom of the screw will be. I wasn't sure if it was a crack or not so I put it back together and looked at the white side, and it was clear and somehow, while I was being super careful, I managed to crack the white side core while putting it back together. Will using glue still help or am I going to have to buy a new core?

I would try gluing it first, and if it doesnt work, then maybe you'll need a new core.

Cracks? Seems like you put vaseline in your cube. As people said, try gluing it.

I have never lubed my cube or anything, but there was a crack there.
