How to make a "Professional Speedcube" awesome.

[jms_gears1]

So I picked up some more of these after dropping my other two

Good job you hit puberty, umm but picked up three more 0.0
what are you?

and considering that they were so cheap

WAIITTT you bought them? Im pretty sure dismemberment is illegal in most countries...

I decided that I may as well try to mod because at 3 dollars each I could get like 10.

ok umm how many dead people are there?

So I went downstairs and whipped out my handy dandy dremel and just murdered one. But my second one turned out nice.

Umm werent they already dead...

the only thing I did was make the edges like an FII's, and it got like 5 times better. I would upload pictures but my camera is broken. If you want something to bring somewhere that you know other people will want to scramble then this is what you want. It NEVER pops.

I dont think we want to see what you have to show us...
Waiit you scramble them?
Like eggs...
wow

that was great

It sounds like he is just describing how he bought some cheap cubes and then modded them to try and make them good.

So, you round off the internal edges of the edge cubies which might get caught by the corner cubies? What about also rounding the edges of the corner cubies which might get snagged on the edge cubies? Does sanding down the foot on the corner piece help or hurt?

I performed the mod on a Cube 4 You with excellent results. 8 edges on each edge and only 3 on the corners.

I felt cube4you was the best in every category except it locked up. It was fast, responded well to lube, smooth (if accurately turned), good weight, it felt solid.

After the mod the lockups are gone and the cube was my best. The problem was that it took a long time to do. I mean hours. I dremeled certain edges then sanded them.
Here are some pics. I may make a video of the mod on my other C4Ys.

Excellent! I suspected the Haiyan Memory mod could be done for other cubes too. And C4Y would be my choice for experimenting. (I get lockups on C4Y too.)

Used Google Translator, and came up with,

just bought two cubes as the first 2 I bought, I dropped. I bought them because they were cheap. They were ****,so I modded them with my dremel. The first one didn't work well, but the second one came out decent. I made the edges to be like a F2. I would upload some images, but my camera is broken. It's a good cube to use in public because it never pops.

and WHAT DOES an FII edge look like any way?

So 'professional speedcube' is the name of the brand?

I....Am....So....Lost o_____o

 

[crazymanjimbo46]

OK I'm gonna redo this, I picked up two professional speedcubes at a store downtown, because I dropped my other two. I decided to try and mod them to make them faster. I decided to just mod the edges, I used a dremel and sandpaper to make the edges like an FII's. After I did that the speed considerably increased yet it still didn't cut corners. I will try something else on another one. I have also dropped the other two that I bought.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Ahh, ok. I wonder why the edge pieces improve it that much.

 

[Logan]

R.I.P the four cubes he dropped and the one he murdered.

Warning, amazing idea incoming!

I think you should put colored velcro on your cube, and on your hands.

 

[chinesed00d]

wait so.. wtf? what do you do?

Seems to me that he rounded EVERYTHING on the inside.
