[Help Thread] My cube has issues! My cube is broken!

I have the same problem as well

I wouLd recommend ordering a wittwo and hope it comes in time. If not, you can always borrow someone's cube at the competition or buy one there.

I tried to fix it but with no success. Guess I'll have to order a a Wittwo. Thank you for your suggestions!

I have the same problem as well

Seems that using a different screw is the only fix. I tried it and the 2x2 now works. The performance is not great at the moment, but at least it stays together!
Discovered the fix accidentally when some old crappy Chinese cube blew into pieces and the screw fell out.

Help! My V-Cube 5 Core is Broken!

Hi all!

I was solving my V-Cube 5 today and I dropped it. Long story short, the core split in half along the middle... I'm thinking about supergluing it back together but I'm worried that it could prevent it from turning or something like that. Anyway, I'm not quite sure what to do. If anyone has some advice, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me how to post pictures, by the way? I'm not sure how to do that but I would like to show what my core looks like. Thanks.

 

[emolover]

My advice, get a shenshou.

 

[Hunter]

Haha, I looked at the title and clicked on it to post exactly what emolover said.

Buy a ShengShou.

 

[Supersmash213]

Well, I did a little bit of research, and I think that might be the way to go. Thanks guys.

 

[waffle=ijm]

while I agree with getting a shengshou, you two are being useless. What if he likes his V5?

OP - Gluing it back together is okay. just know it is more prone to break.

Send v-cubes an email and they'll send you a new core if you get lucky.
Glue it back together.
Get a shengshou

 

[McCuber16]

You should try super glueing it then sand off any excess glue. If it falls apart again, then you can contact V-Cubes and order another core from them. However, Shengshous are a cheap alternative from V-Cubes. My Lan Lan center piece broke and I super glued it, The turning has been compromised slightly but it still is fine.

 

[tx789]

buy a shenshou if you like the v cube more buy another v cube or contact v cube about this

 

[Supersmash213]

I contacted V-Cube. I think I'll try supergluing the core tonight and test the results. Thanks again.

 

[Meep]

I had my SS 5 core snap in half like yours and supergluing it made it only last one solve before it collapsed on me again. I managed to get several extra V-5 cores from V-Cubes though, so I ended up switching back to those.

Broken Lanlan 4x4

I recently was playing with my lanlan 4 by 4 when i heard a snap and the cube had a huge explosion. i examined it and noticed one of the stalks on a center piece had broken off. i tried to glue it a couple of times but after assembling it the piece broke after a few moves. is there anything i can do to fix it? if not where can i get a replacement part? thanks!

 

[Johnnyman318]

This happened to me... I tried gluing it back on with superglue and after a day it broke off. The stock is a stress point, and won't really be fixed. I guess you'll have to buy a new piece or cube unless someone else knows how to fix it.

 

[ben1996123]

if you glue it then it will just keep breaking

there probably arent any places that sell spare lanlan 4x4 parts.

get a shengshou v3or4

You'll be fine.. i just smashed my 4x4 cus i couldnt get good solves, and i am about to build it again . It wont be sturdy enough to pick up unitl the first three layers are built, its pretty tough to build though good luck
