[Help Thread] Lubrication Thread

So I decided to make my own lube holder. Helps me keep them organized and easily accessible. And I can expand it by just adding more modules if I need to.

Very Cool! Stuff like this makes me wish that I had a 3d printer

In my chem lab we use silicone oil (to heat up the reactions). From what I understand, silicone lube is actually silicone grease (silicone oil combined with a thickener, to make it a creamy consistency). The pure oil is completely liquid. Is this suitable for lubing a cube or I need specifically the grease? Thanks!

Silicone oil comes at many viscosities. From almost as water to Pretty solid. Silicone molecules vary in length and can be doped with other materials.
The important thing is that the lube does not get thicker if left in the air.
food oil becomes thick and sticky after a week in air. So not usable.

Hi, can I ask. Which lube should I get ? Venus, Mercury, Mars or Jupiter ?

Depends on what you want from your cube. Is it too slow, too fast, etc?

It makes the cube fast and a some smooth, and it nearly not evaporate and doesn't leaves dirt !
Prices: $1,54 for 5cc, $3,29 for 10 cc, $3,95 for 15 cc.

That seems pretty cheap for such a lube.
I would probably get it.

The Orbit series ($2,64 for 5cc ) and the Sub-10 only sell in Vietnam.

Cubicle weight 5 vs SCS weight 5 vs Traxxas 50k as best core lube?
Stardust vs lunar as best fast lube?

I won't buy them as i'll have enough money for GAN 11M DUO

 

[HD Truong Giang]

I can't afford them as i'll have enough money for GAN 11M DUO

I use only lube from Vietnam

Sorry, I was asking a completely different question

50k will probably be the gummiest. Not sure about stardust and lunar

 

[hellocubers]

I just use GAN lube.
