Magnets Discussion and Help thread

You have to know that magnets quality(that mostly means strenght) is very different. I have two Valks with N35 4x2mm. One from cubicle and one done by me with HQ magnets. The strenght of magnets differs. I have learned that big cheap packages of N35 4x2 from ebay do not guaranty you the strenght on the paper.
 
I know this question has probably been asked a number of times ... I apologise...

I have a Valk which I put N35 3x2mm magnets into. The feel is quite weak, but I quite like weak magnets. I would like to try something stronger and I have a few options.

N42 3x2mm
N42 4x1.5mm
N35 4x2mm
N38 5x1.5mm

Personally I don't want to go as strong as the 5x1.5's so am unsure. I don't want the feel to be too snappy ... any suggestions ?

3x2 is way too weak, 4x1.5 is a bit weaker than 4x2, 5x1.5 is a bit stronger than 4x2.

N35 4x2mm
 
My combo is 4x1,5mm N45 for corner & outer side of edges. 4x1mm N45 for inner edges( the doubled slice).
You could get similar , but 5% stronger, effect by using N35 4x2 and N50 3x2.
 
So would n35 4x2mm be good for the outer layer then n35 3x2mm be good for the inner layer?
That is maybe too weak, i would go with N50 3x2 for inner layer. I experimented and I believe 30% stronger outer layer is a good combination. Also when I used original springs it all felt quite strong. After putting in thunderclap springs everything became softer and overall better.
 
But if the magnets on the outer layer are much stronger than the ones in the inner layers, wouldn't you accidentally move the inner layers when you only want to turn the outer layer?

But when moving an inner layer you have much more friction and resistance than a single side, as it is between 2 sides
 
There are 4 magnets together in two edges of the inner layer, so the atraction is stronger there compared to the outer layer. If you use 5x5 cube there is no double magnets and you use all of the same strength.
 
In order to magnatise a 6x6 what magnet configuration is required ? Can't seem to get my head around it. Earlier in this thread it was mentioned that only 144 magnets are required, however I used 120 to do my 4x4. Can't think off-hand how many I used in my 5x5 :)
