Idea to fix Maru 4x4 core misalignment problem

[Kurbitur]

wow srsly tightened every screw to same amount and then assemble it ( took 30 mins) then i just messaroun with outer layers and one inner layer turn and its out of fcking alignment. I have wasted about 1:30 hours assembling this fcking crap. worst 24$ ever spent

Have you done this to your cube? Does it actually work? and is Chris Bird in agreement to your mod by saying "This."?

the reason that the maru 4x4 can come out of alignment is because the block things that are suppose to prevent misalignments wiggle. If you just glue those down solid, the core won't come of go alignment

Did you ever find out how this idea worked for you? I want to try it in attempt to make my own 4x4 not get out of alignment.

I recently received my shipment of Maru 4x4's for my store (thread will be updated soon.) I really really liked it however the core came out of misalignment...like reported by many people. I noticed that one of the center-pieces already had the "small internal pieces" attached to it. I then thought about the fact that that mod only prevents 66% of the core misalignments. To attempt to prevent the rest of the lockups, I tried the rest of the 6x6 mod. Two of the 4 sides in adjacent to the side with the internals attached use rivets. For this reason, pins can be glued into them. I am currently allowing the glue to dry and will report back tomorrow with the results. What do you guys think?

I guess I'll try it. However, I heard the 6x6 mod is hard to perfect.

I don't understand how glueing would help.
