I'll have to try this out. I was very disappointed when i got my 3 type D's. My old one (that got stolen >:|) was amazing.

If I had to choose a DIY cube wich are currently being sold I would go for the plain type B(no hybrid).
LOL thanks mananyway, I enjoy watching your High Quality pictures DAE_JA_VOO.
I get the feeling watching arts instead of watching something helpfull.
Yes!

I just received my green type D. It has what look to be Old type screws and a white core, not sure what the older core was but it seems like a great cube to me, not as great at cutting corners as my new type that I also received but pretty fast. Be careful with loctite in the core, loctite attacks certain kinds of plastics.

nice try a type a core in it, old 1. anyway i was just making sure about following his tutorial on how to make it as good as the old ones.

Has anyone recently bought some black ones that came with the old screws? If this is the case I might just buy some black Ds. I wonder if they did keep their original screw set this would mean that black ones are better.

The pattern where there are different screws in different cubes is random.
And some of the old screws come out of the core too. But some Loctite should cure that problem.

how would you recommend to break in a old type d it seems to have all of the features that the old ones has in your pictures. the only problem that i have is that the cube is crap i have lubed it but to no effect. i got it straight off the guy that runs cube 4 you in shanghai

DAE JA VOO, do you use the type A or the type D screws? and make this any difference?

Type D screws. I haven't tried the A screws, because the D screws do the trick just fine

Dae Ja Voo -- What's the best way to break in a type D? I have the new type D -- just got it a month ago -- and it locks up like crazy. I'm hoping to get the old type A core in a month. Would the old type A core + Type D solve everything or do I have to break in the cube as well?

Oke, thanks for your reaction. I will try that. I have purchased Bison Lock Bond because in Holland they don't sell loctite anymore

Does it have to be Loctite? I know of another threadlocker that's not of Loctite brand.
