For those saying +40 degrees is impossible

fanwuq, this cube is much more controllable than you would think, well for me. I dont have any problem with overturning or anything. Also, I use this cube because for me it's the perfect cube, there's nothing more I could ask from a cube.
 
I really want to see this cube in person. Looks too uncontrollable from the video.

Edit: I now remember this cube.
I had the same cube except it was with white type C cubies and D centers. It's just that the screws were unscrewing and I lost that cube. It was awesome when I had it, but I didn't really do many solves with it. I don't know how well it cut corners, but it was pretty good.

I guess you have a good cube that cuts corners better than most, but I'd estimated at about 35 degrees from the video.

EDIT: Got it calculated, once again, this is the MAXIMUM, and it wont always work, maybe 3 times out of 5, also, I need to apply some force so it works.

Result: 47.40809 degrees.

Wow... that means your cube can cut corners from another turn. Is that the same as when you showed it in the video? Because I can just tell my imitation of your cube is not over 45 degrees.

And if doesn't work all the time and you have to apply more than usual force to it, it doesn't really count...

It's not the same as in the picture, did it just now about 15 minutes ago. And yes I know it doesn't really count but I wanted to see the maximum I can go.

I think it's cuts :D
 
Wow. I actually tried this cube and it's VERY good. Super fast, no pops, and doesn't lock up! I haven't tightened the tension yet to what SamLambert has but I'll do it later. Thanks a lot SamLambert! :)

It doesn't seem to be able to cut corners very well, but locks up less than my Type D w/ old A core. SamLambert, did the sanding of the pieces help it cut corners better? Or was it originally good at cutting corners?

EDIT: I just tried this mod but with Type C cubies. Both cubes are very similar, but I think I like the feeling of the hybrid with the Type A cubies a little bit better :)

The sanding did seem to help cutting corners. Also, the cube at first wasn't as good for cutting corners, just make sure you set it at the right tension, sand enough, and well, all the usual things. Also, should be mentionned, this cube has been lubed well over 20 times. I'm pretty sure it helped making everything smooth. But like I said, I might have forgot some mods I did, if I remember some things I did and that did change something, I'll post em here.

EDIT: SamLamert xD
 
Hmmm well I have all green cubes so or type D and A the colors are a little different adn I have different shades of stickers so it looks goofy.
I tried this combo anyway (without the mods) and with the cube set at full tension (the tension all my type D's are set at it is not a good cube at all and can't cut corners at all... I'll try the 1/4 turn and see if it does anything. But I doubt it will jump for no corner cutting to 45degrees.
edit: My cube was not even at full tension so my tension when I tried this was more then 1/4 away from full.
I wonder mine sucks when all of yours seem pretty good.
Edit2: at an entire turn from max tension it cuts corners pretty well. Maybe around 30 only tho. It locks a little when trying to do these extreme corner cuts so I can see how the rounding will really help it.

Approximately 45 degrees? I think not. I paused the video, aligned my cube so it was exactly like yours, and was arctan 13.9/16.6 = 39.9 degrees. So... um this is kind of funny. "For those saying +40 degrees is impossible" Well guess what? You didn't do +40 degrees! OWNED LOL :D :D :D (And yes, 0.1 degrees matters :D)

that is the worst come back i have ever heard:
1) your cube and his are not the exact same
2) your measurements are not perfect
3) rounding of the measurments make the final answer imperfect
4) the measurements from the screen onto your cube are inaccurate

the only way to test this hypothesis is to get his cube and measure exactly the lengths and then work it out
 
Q1.
What would you say are the main contributing factors to not popping?
Obviously not including tightening the screws.
My type A edges cores measure 3.5mm from the side of the edge-cubie, it pops.
My type F edges core measures 4.0mm from the side of the edge-cubie, they don't pop.

When swapping all edges in both cubes it makes the new type f pop and the type A not pop.

Q2.
OMG this is difficult to accurately describe... I can see that the four gaps around center.
You said that you sanded the 'center cubie edge' as well as the 'edge and corner core', did you also sand the edge and corner cubies ?

Thanks
