Few Questions about Cube Type F

[computingeee]

I Have a Original Rubik's Cube 3x3x3, ordered it from eBay.
I Like it very much and it's fast, but it's just keep pop all the time.

I Want to buy Cube Type F (Maybe F2).
The DIY of this cube is better than the NIB (Comes Assembled)?

I Ask because I don't quite sure in what level to screw the screws in the cube,
There is a guide for it?

I Want a cube that resistant to pops, can cut corners well and very fast,
Is Type F is the one I am looking for?

Thank You Very Much,

P.S
If I had mistakes, it's because English isn't my primary language.

I got my F's straight out of the box already assembled.
I love my type FII, when I got it, it popped a lot. Then I took off the center caps and tightened it and now it rarely pops. It cuts corners nicely and is really smooth.
As for my FI, it seems simular. But there is something about it that says "the type FII is better", not sure what.

FII in my opinion is a great choice.

Thanks for the quick reply.

How did you know how much you need to tight in evey center cap?
I want a cube that don't pops at all, is it the one for me?
After you tightened the center caps the cube started to slow?

Thank You very much.

What kind of cube do you prefer?

Type F II Pops?

If you want a cube that is very fast and can cut corners, get a Taiyan.

Type F II Pops?

just so you know. one f-II might pop. someone other might not. it's about the tension. i still prefer F-II over F. the F wears out over time but otherwise it's almost the same

i would reccomend the type C, it will pop occaisionally (pretty sure i spelled that wrong) but it moves way faster than the type F when you lube it and it is quite reliable as long as you arent rough with it...

mine didn't.
it's all about how the tension is set....
my type C rocked but then it started to lose that crispy feel and got more "buttery" but type C's are great.

well mine is pretty loose but its at the point where is doesnt pop so much that it is annoying, and its super fast on OLL/PLL

 

[computingeee]

From what you said, Type F-II, Type C, Type F - They All Pop.

There is a cube that doesn't pop (and of course fast and cut corners)?
Maybe One of the A's? New TYpe A-III?

I Just want a cube that doesn't pops, I had enough with the Original Rubik's Cube..

Thank You ALL.

If you want a cube that never pops, get the New Type A-III. It's a decent cube, smooth and cuts corners okay. The best thing is it almost never pops (probably once in 500 solves?) and if you set it a little tighter it will be even more unpoppable.

Can I get it Assembled?
Does it come fast?

"Cuts Corners Okay" Means it cuts corners lame, or great?

Even cubes that come assembled you still have to adjust for the best experience.

most DIYs tend to pop more than Rubik's storbought brands. If you want an un-popable DIY, it'll always come with trade-offs like speed.

You're requesting one that's the best at corner cutting, anti-pop, and super fast. The fact of the matter is, is that every cube will have flaws.

Normally, to get good corner cutting, the trade-off will be more pops.

For a super fast, the trade off may be more pops, poor corner cutting (less common case, but some cubes are like that), or maybe even both.

For a practically un-popable cube (which is what you seem most concerned about), the trade-off would normally be speed.

Look through this thread to decide what is best for you.

 

[eastamazonantidote]

Assembling cubes is not a big deal and gives you much more control over how the cube turns out.

Type FII was disappointing for me, to say the least. Actually, the CII and FI were also. I just expected so much more. I don't like the feel. I like my C4U cube and Diansheng so much more. I like faster cubes. The FII, CII, and FI just felt sluggish to me.

Dianshengs are difficult to pop. Type Ds are tough to pop. So is the C4U cube is you make it tight. Bubbled cubies make it a little easier to pop, so the F series and the CII have some minor issues. Look at the stickied review thread and read it. That's why it's there.

How can I know how to adjust it perfectly,
that it won't be Slow and won't pops?

And I heard the New Type A-III can't be opened in the middles where the screw are, is that right?

Sorry for the lame english

thank you.

To get the tension you want, you'll have to expirement with the tension. Try making the cube tighter or looser and test it out to see if you like it.

How can I know every screw is in the same level?
And it's true that you can't open the middles on New Type A-III?

Thanks.

 

[TemurAmir]

If you mean the center caps, then yes, the New Type A-III is a "DIY" cube. You know if it's at the same level if you turn it the same amount each time you adjust the cube. If you want to loosen it, for example, you might turn all six screws half a turn.
