"Funs Puzzle" 方是(fangshi) new 3x3

[sneaklyfox]

Is there a problem with the corner twisting? I watched a couple of videos on youtube and saw corners getting twisted during relatively fast solves.

My HKnowstore PREorder on March 16 just shipped today. Thumbs down. I hope all preorders have been shipped by now.

Thanks for the timings, y'all. I got a tracking number today, it shipped March 9th, but I had to ask HKNowstore to get that information (original tracking number was used for the other parts of my order that were shipped separately a while ago). Not at all impressed, either about the lack of notification, or that it shipped after some people had regular orders shipped from other stores where the cube was nearly 50% cheaper.

Can't wait for the cube though!

Lame, mine was attempted to be delivered today but it requires a signature....working from home tomorrow .

Yes there is. Not sure how big tho, but it sure happens more often than on a Dayan. Guess it depends on your tension too.

The cube has a pretty small tensioning sweet spot, and the lubing seem to be different from a Dayan cube (not the process but the results). I've got another cube coming today, and Im gonna try only lubing the core on that one. Im thinking no lube on the pieces might actually be better...

Overall its a really nice cube I do algorithms faster on this one than on a Zhanchi. Its as fast, or faster as a Zhanchi, but a lot more forgiving, it corner cuts a lot easier.
Center caps are rock solid.
Hate the stickers, as always.

IMO its so much nicer without lube on the pieces, you guys should try it

 

[windhero]

Maybe people should start testing the lube thing. I personally can try and lube only the core and break it in for maybe 1k solves, see how it works compared to my fully lubed Guhong V2 Stickerless. After that I could add lube to the pieces and see what happens.

Watchign Crazybadcubers assembly tutorial I can't help but notice the random gaps in the edge pieces that will most likely eat all the lube whilst breaking in the lube.

50K on the core, and 1-2 drops of maru for the plastic .. would be my guess

Pre-Ordered from TheCubicle on Friday.

Shipped yesterday (The day they received the cubes).

I'm very impressed.

the guys at hknowstore should probably count the pieces when getting the diy kits.
i preordered one that arrived today. one of the smaller (upper) center pieces is missing. got 2 of the bigger ones.
a friend preordered 2, arrived today or yesterday. in one kit there was an edge piece missing, in one a corner piece and a center cap.

 

[radmin]

In my experience reverse corner cutting in an actual solve causes corner twists. The reason is that my hands prevent the movement of the pieces needed to reverse cut.
Some times the center wants to twist in stead.
Still impressive though.

Would you say it's a quieter cube than the zhanchi? And if so, by how much?

 

[Gordon]

The tracking state is still 'Departure from border point of origin country' for mine.
I wonder if I will get it before the weekend.

That scares me a bit, because I only ordered one cube. I hope it's complete.

Its about the same, but the sound is a lot less disturbing. Its way better for the bus or when your girlfriend's sleeping, compared to the zhanchi.

Actually here you go. Sound comparison. Yeah I messed up the perms but its ok cause im a noob :-D

Thanks for that. Hmm... I like high frequency over low frequency. I think high corresponds to faster and low corresponds to slower. It must be psychological.

 

[littlewing1208]

Are people finding that this cube needs to be pretty tight tension wise to be manageable?

EDIT:

So I'm not in love with this thing. It feels too light and the sound is super annoying. Only have 10 solves on it....will play with it more later. Overall it is pretty well build and only the edges of a few pieces had any significant flash.

 

[radmin]

My Zhanchi is a little gummy so it's more quiet.
Zhanchi is snappy sounding, the Fun's is more scratchy.

I was comparing it last night to my other light cubes. (C4 and C5). Fun's performs a little better and is slightly faster. It's like what the Alpha CC should have been.

I just ordered my black Fangshi, it should arrive at the end of this week. I'm so excited
