"Funs Puzzle" 方是(fangshi) new 3x3

[Ninja]

Is it better than a MoYu HuanYing? (In terms of speed, corner cutting, smoothness etc.)

 

[sneaklyfox]

I got 5 good center caps and one smaller one that pushes down too far. Anybody else have this problem?

Impressive cube and very fast, but it it feels half the weight of my ZhanChi. Definitely an adjustment.

Well, according to the lightake store, the weights are
Zhanchi: 126g
ShuangRen: 94g

Not really half the weight, but certainly not insignificant.

Not in terms of corner cutting. The moyu design is better at that.

 

[PeelingStickers]

However I think the Moyu can pop, haven't seen the design properly yet but nobody so far has said it's unpoppable

 

[Kattenvriendin]

I will not claim that it is unpoppable.. the design is well shown in CBCs review video.

So magic puzzle cube on Amazon said they won't be selling the Fangshi. (Note this is not the same store as I posted about before, Speedcubing Store should be getting it).

Well, according to the lightake store, the weights are
Zhanchi: 126g
ShuangRen: 94g

Wonder what they included in those weights, my ZhanChis (57mm) are around 87g & my 55mm is 81g.

i just got mine....
its bad and its good
the good: its really smooth, smoother than a zhanchi even unlubed, feels like it was designed to do this
the bad: mine was a diy, and it was a pain to build, some pieces dont fit into each other, lot of excess plastic on cube, much harder to assemble than zhanchi
im sanding off the excess plastic so can properly sticker it, hope its better than it looks like now
if you want the cube dont get a diy (aka hknow)

I LIKE stuff that's hard to put together
The excess plastic, though...
Hope I don't have to deal with that

The only issue I have is the lightness. It performs well. It's really fast. The lightness makes it very different.
The only Dayan cube close to it in speed is my Lingyun v1. But it feels heavy now.
ALL Dayans others feel slow now.

I was able to get it good with minimal effort. I scrapped some excess plastic off a few pieces but it's not a "mod", I took off what didn't belong. Most notably some flashing preventing the center caps from going all the way in.
I found a good tension with minimal effort.

I recommend it.

its not hard in difficulty...its just hard to push the pieces together and stuff
my hands still hurt
how do you guys tension it i leave about a pennys space between center piece and core when you pull
and for some reason its so hard to put an edge piece in and out...crazybad makes it seem so easy...

for me, the center caps are the only pieces that 100% go in each center piece, only about 1/3 of my other pieces fit, theres a lot of gaps between each edge and corner cap and its respective piece

 

[Lchu613]

So, maybe that was their mold problem, the pieces didn't fit together well?

 

[Incogaceous]

and after i put in my pieces...the some of the edge pieces kinda stick out...
the zhanchi and fangshi all have their good features and i wish there was a cube that had both...

Strange you say that, because i was impressed by how well made and clean it was, hw everything pushed together with the same tensions and there was no excess plastic. Luck of the draw perhaps.

Yea same here, i liked the diy and the design is awesome. Mine had some excess plastic but i shaved that off and the pieces fit perfectly after that. The only thing that bugged me was the center caps, for some reason i had a really hard time putting them on...

tensioning:

Leave a bit of space, can be more than a penny, no need to be too accurate here.
Start corner cutting one way, see how far it goes on all faces.
Tension them all so they go the same corner cutting distance, roughly.

Now fine tune with quarter and 8ths of a screw turns so all all the faces cut the exact same amount on all the faces with all the 4 colors in front. So say yellow is up, then cut with orange on front, with blue on front, red on front etc, and make sure it is all the same.

After that your cube is tensioned evenly and you can tighten or loosen it to your preference counting screw turns (you can use the + of the screw to guide you in all these steps).


Just the distance on all faces (that penny) is not enough, as even slightly slanted screws in the core will throw it off on that face.

 

[Incogaceous]

i just tensioned and did whatever to my cube
two edge pieces refused to go in properly using my hands so i had to push them against the counter
corner cutting makes just 45 degrees
lubing the pieces was kinda weird b/c the lube didnt seem like it wanted to spread...

 

[Lchu613]

If you lube somewhere that isn't a contact point it'll just sit there forever lol

 

[Wassili]

Anyone from Europe receive it yet? If so, where did you order from?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Expecting it HOOOOPEFULLY the coming week somewhere.
