Just Got My 7x7x7

[JTW2007]

So, I just got my V-Cube 7 and I was wondering if anyone knows a fix for the loose center caps. I'd like to avoid glue because I need access to the screws, but they fall out a lot and I don't want to loose them.

Why do you need to access them? They essentially are rivets, turning them does nothing.

Instead of glue, you can do the paper trick for 3x3 center caps. Cut pieces of paper that can fit right under the center caps to make them fit snugly.

Locktite works well too..

They're rivets? They have a phillips head. Do they just not work/not turn?

yes you can turn them but they wont tighten or loosen anything

use a small bit of blu tack?

Okay, so I looked around and ended up putting some paper under each center cap to hold them in place. It worked really well and I can still get the caps out. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi, yesterday i got my V-Cubes pack white. I want to know if any other owners have this:

Corner caps missing in V-7 (seems to be random and i see a spot for a cap):

The V-5 have the same issue (the spot for cap is more visible):

The V-6 is just fine. No corner caps missing.

So, anyone have this in his/her cubes?

There are not supposed to be caps on the 5 and 7. On the 6 there aren't any either, but the piece is molded without the opening.

It could be I received faulty cubes but I think it's intended.

Ok then, i guess not big deal, rigth? but this affect the rotation in terms of lockups?

No, and no, this will not affect your cubes performance at all, everyone has this in all their v-cubes.

That is how the cubes are supposed to be.

Thanks guys for your patience and kindness!
