OK.. and how much does it cut the other way..

I mean I can get my zhanchi to cut over 70 degrees. There are two directions and when one gains the other suffers.

I have tensioned the vcube4 and the ssv5 (I have version 5) both the same way and the vcube wins.

Don't know how much it reverse cuts, haven't tried it.

SSv5 doesn't need Konsta at all. You could Florian it for better results though.

Also if you have all the cube boxes could you tell me if there is any difference between the v4 and v5 box?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Ohhh I don't know.. I have the box but I threw it on the stack lol

So no.. only by the pictures of the pieces in the concerning thread was I able to determine that I have a v5


I don't mean reverse cutting.. it.. uhmm.. how do I explain.. take a dayan 2x2. It can cut 45 degrees both ways, forward and back. If you increase the cutting in one direction, it will automatically decrease on the other side.

 

[Lchu613]

I think you mean cutting upwards vs downwards?
Also, some pictures of the SS v5 box:

[Kattenvriendin]

Could be yeah..

Rotate top layer 45 degrees.

Hold left bottom cubing in left fingers, right bottom in right fingers.
Use right hand to push right bottom up effecting in U' direction
then do the same and pull down, effecting in U direction on the top layer.

Reverse is moving the U layer about 20 degrees clockwise, and then pulling down. Resulting in a slight U' direction.

 

[Lchu613]

Yeah, that's what I meant

NICE consistent cube for me.. come here cubesmith textured tiles! Only the red left to make *chuckle*

anyway.. new average PBs:

Nice!

 

[Kattenvriendin]

There we are.. cubesmith stuff came in yesterday so I was able to make the last color stickers and then stuck em on. And by then it was too dark for a proper pic.. so.. here is one now

Spoiler

These were all handmade using the sheets. I think they turned out ok *grin*

(oh this is the 50mm dayan 2x2)

 

[MarcelP]

Looks great! Time to set a new PB in Eindhoven on the 2 X 2.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

That looks doable, yep.
Let's hope I can! I am drilling on the 2x2 now. I DID learn two new algos without forgetting other things.. HOPEFUL!

 

[Lchu613]

Whoa, custom-cut textured tiles.
They always look really nice

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Yep they do. I know there are a few imperfections.. but yeah.. I'll have to deal with that lol I think they turned out better in any case than those I made for the wittwo back when.

 

[Lchu613]

You suggest using Traxxas 10k for cubies on cubes, right?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Yeppers.

For the regular 3x3 cubes 10k on the cubies and 50k (or 30k if you don't have 50k) in the core.
For the dayan 2x2 it is 10k all the way, so I found out (just cleaned out the cube for the third time and this time it's best, but use sparingly).

The 2x2 dayan stickers are making the cube extremely static. First time I cleaned it out I gained a third cat from it, so much hair was in there. Now with the cubesmith tiles thank goodness this irritating issue has been solved.

 

[Lchu613]

Hah, reminds me of my old Zhanchi, and my Ghost Hand II
The Zhanchi was literally lubricated with cat hair

The Ghost Hand, on the other hand (pun not intended), developed an ant colony at one point
I exterminated them with a bunch of CRC and dumped them in the trash can lol

 

[Kattenvriendin]

ROFL ants hahahahha amazing what people use to lube the cube

There is a video of the shuangren out in the topic that Marcel just made. Now we wait for the Moyu.. Fangshi isn't living up to the hype in any case.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Yay Sub10!

(on the 5x5 lol)

minutes that is. First timed solve, but I needed to look up the single middle edge flip as I didn't know that one yet, so I did peek. 09:23.11 *giggle*

It's been sitting in my cabinet for a loooong time. Lubed and all that back when with I believe Lubix still for that cube as it was one of my first to buy.

I solved the siamese 4x4 from Tony Fisher yesterday, great solve that one and .. I saw he also has the 5x5 siamese now.. oh man.. I really wanted that too, BUT.. I needed to know I could solve the 5x5 still. It has been solved two or three times before today and then sat in said cabinet.

So, I took it out.. layers glued together. But no.. not really, I could move them.. then gave the cube two turns and whoppa it went flying (not across the room, no: in speed). It is sooo smooth I love it I solved it a few times, purchased the 5x5 siamese of course and just now did my first timed solve on my SS5x5 hahaha.

 

[Lchu613]

Ha nice

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Well if I can remember this darned flip wing edges algorithm in a week time I will enter on the 5x5 as well in Eindhoven. Will likely get a DNF time around 10mins, but who cares lol
