Make my own rubik's cube!?

[collinbxyz]

Hi,
I like my cubes, but I want to make one perfect for me, so I decided I want to make my own. Example: buy type A-V core, and ghost hand II pieces, and make my own logo, and print my own stickers out. But there is a problem. I don't have many cubes, so I don't know which core/pieces I should get. Please help! I do want a DIY core. so please, if you have any ideas, can you please help??? Thank you!!!!

It's called a hyrbird.
The 3 most popular cubes now are: GuHong, Haiyan Memory, and F-II. Get them all I guess, and experiment with them.

Don't make one, it's a waste of time. I personally think the A-V sucks. Just get an f-II or Guhong. Trust me.

i won't trust you simply because of the little thing called personal preference. maybe the A-V will suit him just fine.

Thats why I said to get all 3 lol

 

[collinbxyz]

I never said A-V, I just used that as an example, honestly, I have never used one! Just heard a lot of people used it. I might do what Joker said

I meant that you shouldn't listen to everyone who suggests a cube. Since everyone has their own personal preference, one cube may work for one cuber whereas another cuber may not like it.

I would say the F-II, A-V, and Guhong.
Although I personally prefer the Guhong.

Yeah do what Joker said :tu

-stuff about personal preference-

Do what either Generation said or Joker, but if you did what Generation said then mod A-V to Haiyan Memory

I was wondering, what exactly makes a cube lock up???

 

[Joker]

K fixed my post.

Lock ups can occur when you try to cut a corner too much and your cube can't cut it. Bad turning can causu locks also. The corner pieces of a cube may not be shaped well, also causing locks.

 

[collinbxyz]

I really want to know what cube has no lock ups, and what cube has no pops, and what cube can cut corners very well, than I might buy them, and make a Hybrid. So any ideas? I am thinking f-II, A-V and maybe even my ghost cube II I have now. What do you think??

 

[Joker]

No cube has no lock ups, no pops and can cut very well.
But the GuHong supposedly rarely locks and pops, and its the best corner cutting cube so far.

 

[cyoubx]

Egh.....so you're looking for a "perfect cube." No such thing exists. One cube's virtues are another's downfalls and vice versa. Pops have to do with the cuber's accuracy; same with lock-ups. As for corner cutting, most DIY's these days can cut a cubie.

F II, A V, and GH II are all popular, which implies they're all good....to some individuals. It's just preference.

Bottom line: It's the cuber, not the cube.

BUMP

I want F-II

 

[avgdi]

From the title of the thread I thought you actually meant make your own cube, not a hybrid.
Has anyone tried that?

I want to, though idk how. whish i could.

get the F-II, A-V, and GuHong, (possibly wait for LingYun)
that's what I did, and it's the only way to decide on a cube
in the end, even though all three are ridiculously awesome, and I like the feel of the F-II the most, I went with the GuHong because I lock up less and get better times
also, do the memory mod to the A-V, worth it
