I don't wanna sound like a noob but.... I need help with C4Y cube

[King Koopa]

I just got my Cube4You cubes today, and I wasn't sure on the order in which the screw, washer and spring went. I also wasn't sure on how tight to make it for it to be amazing.

Thanks for any help...

I put the washer closest to the head of the screw and the spring below it. Everyone has their own tension preferences. I learned at the Newark Winter that I like cubes that are very loose (enough to make other speedcubers fear pops).

put a washer on the screw, and then put the spring onto the screw with the fat end of the spring facing the bottom.

On the springs, did you put the bigger end toward the head of the screw

I believe you face the bigger end facing the core, it acts as a washer?

Yep, the washer goes next to the head of the screw and the big loop of the spring goes near the core because it acts as a washer.

How much do I tighten it because I tightened it all the way and it still pops when I turn it

Don't know, I don't have the new springs =/

Tighten more, the core is kinda made a weird way so it's really hard to get the right tension, but trust me, just tighten it more, it's REALLY hard to tighten it enough so it gets good.

yeah, you really have to force the screws. I loosened mine 1/4 turn after Dan assembled it, and the screws were super hard to turn because they were so tight.

I put the springs in with the fat end touching the washer and then thought about it a bit more and changed one spring round, but it didn't make much difference so I didn't bother doing it with the others. I know it's assymetrical but, after lubing, I can't tell any difference at all.

Maybe I'll change it round one day...
