How to Mod your Rubik's brand Storebought

Part two will be the hacking apart of the core and replacing rivets with screws.

This is great for people who are not willing to buy a DIY and don't know how to get their own cube to perfection . . .

For the core-hacking one, you have to buy a new core from cube4you.

I did this with my Cow Cube and It worked out pretty nicely. It made it a little bit looser, and less locky. It doesn't make it amazing, but definitely better. Although, I'm assuming that if you sanded it too much, and wouldn't turn out well.

I sanded all the cubies of my store bought awhile back. Surprisingly, it's almost as good as my F-II.

i took my store bought and made all of my corners to where all of them were completely rounded and had no sharp edges on it at all (except for the bottom point of course) and lubed it heavily with crc to smooth over any possible rough spots i may have left and now its very well possible that it could be someones main speed cube and it would be mine but it i like my type A III-F way too much (it fits my quick and crisp style better)

I only swapped the core and "screws" for MHZ ones. That lets you loosen the cube to a point where it's much easier to turn. Still hurts my hands though ...

I sanded down the edges so that they look like the f2 ones
