Few Questions about Cube Type F

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.

If I want it to be loosen, but not pops and dissamble by itself (if you know what I mean) how much do I need to adjust?

And when you say same amount, do you mean to spin the cube and see how much it spin, and compare it to the others?

Thanks A LOT to all of you.
 
Thanks.

(I Know I asked it, but I didn't get a clearly answer).

I ask about the New Type A-III and the Type F (Even Type C).

DIY and shop assembled are the same cube except one you assemble by yourself and the other comes assembled (which might be more convinient). If you get a shop assembled one, you can always disassemble it. It seems that you want a "perfect" cube but that cube is based on your personal preference. There really isn't a perfect cube, if you read aznmortalx's post, you might understand it better. If you get a fast cube, it might not cut corners or it might pop. If it is slower, it might not pop and cut corners better.

About Lubricartion,
In this video he says that if you lube the cube just on one side through one center to the core, it starts to act like glue and slow a little bit, so he lubricate all the cubes (27) and the core.

In this other video, He shows exactly the other way, three sprays through the center to the core.

What is the right way?

Thanks, Sorry for the many questions, you help a lot.

Most lubes won't glue the cube, only Jig-a-Loo. Spraying everything in my opinion, is more thorough and much better, but just popping out a piece and putting a small squirt should be fine.

If you use Jig-a-Loo and do what's shown on the second video, make sure to not put too much, because it may glue the cube like camcuber said.
 
Thanks.

I will not use Jig-a-Loo.

By The Way, saw this video:

The guy made world record 7.08 seconds.
What kind of cube he use?
It doesn't pops, cuts corners well and very fast (it seems that he did cut corners a lot and fast, and it doesn't pops).

THANKS!

Jig-a-Loo's a great lube, you just have to be careful not to overlube.

The person in the vid is Erik Akkersdijk. He's a member on this site, too.

The cube used in that vid is a Rubik's DIY core with type B cubies.

Also, you're very concerned about the cube to get. Don't be. You'll barely drop times between two cubes if they're both decent. I could use a broken in storebought and get the same times as my Type A.
 
Erik used a Rubik's DIY core and Type B cubies hybrid for his WR solve. It's probably pretty good, but I don't have one so I can't give you any details about the corner cutting / speed etc. of this cube...

I didn't know you can mix core and cubies (I guess screws and springs from rubik's diy).

there is a recommended mix for core and cubies to get a almost-perfect cube?

Thanks.

actually silicone will glue it if you spray in between 2 pieces and don't let it evaporate, if you use either silicone or jigaloo, take it all apart and spray, let it dry, then reassemble

Didn't know that. I always thought it was only a prob with jigaloo. I take cubes apart just cuz I think it's more thorough :p

I used too.
When i first get the cube, if i feel it needs lubed then i take it apart, every time after that that i lube it i just spray it in by taking one cubie off, spraying it, then playing with it for a while.
 
What about TaiYan Cube? It's Good? Pops?

And it's true that Black is better than White (not only in taiyan, in all diy cubes).
 
Didn't understand what you said here.
He was asking if you have anything supporting your claim that black > white cubes. Any examples, or evidence? Or in Wikipedia's words,
Code:
[citation needed]

Don't have a clue..
Someone told me that before, so I wasn't sure about it, thats why I asked.

Is that more clear?

Edit:
Oops.. Just notice I used dot in the end of the sentece, instead of "?".
