"I believe it got to be a washer victim for my V-cube 4" (Talking about SS wind) lol

But the aurora.. yep. Bleh. It threw me off kilter in that video alright *chuckle*

Has anyone got both a 57mm and a 54.6mm? Do they both feel the same? I imagine they would considering the only difference seems to be the caps, but I thought it was worth checking.

Yup. They feel and turn the same. Just the size difference.

The only difference is the size of the caps, the other pieces are all the same and you can exchange them between both sizes

Its more stable because of the weight is lower and more centered, I like it better

It's not in my fangshi anymore, I put it in a container. Pic coming in a few minutes (Oh don't forget a century, 1 decade, 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, and 1 second (Did I miss anything?)). (Memory card hates me, not showing the pics...)

Pics up.In a container, as I said.

Spoiler: Maggot?

Spoiler: Another maggot?

Spoiler: Oh wait, they're the same

So I got my 54.6mm Shuang Ren yesterday (Primary with black caps and custom color scheme Cubicle stickers....looks sweet). Looks aside, the caps being sunk in rather than on the outside makes the fingernail catching non-existant relative to the 57mm option. I really like it. Still swishy but I don't mind.

EDIT: Anyone else get a DIY kit with 4 extra corners in it?

I've had my Fangshi a few months now, and I've absolutely loved it, made my Guhong II feel like absolute crap, sadly i managed to lose it(somehow, don't see how that's possible but still), ordered the 54.6mm (Primary, black caps) and I really hope it lives up to my previous one!

you're doing it wrong.

54.6mm Fangshi Shuangren Center cap help!

How do you take off the center caps of a mini Shuangren? There doesnt seem to be any tabs or anything to allow it to come off. Any tips feel free to leave it below. Thanks

 

[Patrick M]

If its like the reg shuang ren you just gotta use your finger nail or maybe like a knife and pop it off, can take some effort. Try popping at the corner, and also have you taken a few pieces off of the layer to try to get a better grip? Thats all i can say

The cap is kind of inside the centre piece though. Not over the centre piece.

 

[Patrick M]

Hmmmm thats really weird...try using a plastic blade or something that wont cut your cube and pry it open? You can do it cmon now ;p

 

[CubeorCubes]

I have tried haha still wont come off. Not really digging the design of the center cap.

 

[DistinctThought]

If you take out an edge piece, you'll be able to see a little hole on the center piece that starts in the back side and leads to the center cap. If you use an unfolded paper clip, you can push it through that hole to loosen the center cap. From my experience, you'll have to push the paper clip through each of the four holes on the backside of the center piece in order to loosen the cap and get it to pop out. Note: to make it easier to access the hole, you can separate the top and bottom half of the center piece, pushing the bottom half towards the core. Hope this helps.

Edit: A fine screwdriver works better than a paper clip.

 

[CubeorCubes]

Thanks for the tip man!

it doesn't feel as bad as I thought it did now that I've played with it for a few days and put lube in it

On a completely unrelated note, has anyone else seen Tony Fishers review of the Fangshi? I don't know why but it annoys me so much, maybe cause he sounded slightly arrogant about his own method, meh.

I think I have seen that video. I don't remember feeling annoyed though. I must have been bored and wanted to watch more Fangshi videos because I think it's a bit silly to get a review from someone who isn't really a speedcuber (isn't at least somewhat fast). Don't get me wrong, he makes some very cool puzzles and things. It just makes more sense to watch a review of a cube from someone who averages something a little faster and uses similar fingertricks that most people use.

I wanted a white ShuangRen with black stickers so I ordered another one this month. It came a few days ago. This ShuangRen is just as bad as my first one. Meaning, it takes a lot of energy to turn it, and with the tensions as loose as possible (so that the center caps are still fitting) it gives corner twists in every solve.. Man, there are some real quality issues with this brand.

yeah that didn't really make sense that he got sent one in the first place, but then again he is a well known puzzle maker, so I guess that it was probably a marketing/advertisment move to send him one
