Make Rubik's 4x4 best cube in 5 minutes

[Muesli]

I cannot tell you how much I don't recommend a Rubik's brand.

I used to say that too, but thanks to Rubik's brand cubes having unnecesary plastic, modding is very effective.

My Rubik's brand 4x4x4 used to fall apart if I shook it too hard. Removing any plastic would have made it worse.

actually, i'll tell you a secret. most of the puzzles meffert's sells are made in the factory as the knockoffs. the so-called "geniune" fisher's cube that meffert's sells are made by yonjung. meffert's simply buys the products made by various "knockoff" companies.

There's a difference between "illegitimately" and "illegally". I used the word choice meaning "breaking rules", not "breaking law". I'm not that stupid to think YJ delibrately sells plastic toys illegally.

@Musli4brekkies:
You must have gotten really unlucky. They are usually unnecesarily tight.

well, the thing is that what meffert's are doing also helps the knockoff companies grow. although i personally doesn't care, some morons who thinks meffert's FTW while despising knockoff companies ends up supporting the KO companies.

This is not a KO discussion thread. Get back On Topic.

This is a very easy modification I did to spite the complex ways to do this, but it's really effective. So basically, you need just a file. Therefore, this is the Four-by-File mod. I have had 2 successes out of 2 attempts with this mod, but both were with a Rubik's brand. I don't know how this would end up on a Meffert's cube, but my guess, which is why I've never done it, is that the ball can misalign itself with the already-loose Meffert's cube. Results guaranteed.

Materials:
-File

HOW TO DO IT
Just take your 4x4x4 apart, and you will see that cool ball with grooves in it. grab your file and stick it in a groove. "Slide" the file along the groove in a full circle ONCE, and repeat for the other 2 grooves. Clean, lubricate, and reassemble

Now your Rubik's 4x4x4 is better than any Meffert/Eastsheen you ever get! And it took just 5 minutes or less!

Better to just get a QJ.

Better to just get a QJ.

Oh my god, really? After all that?

Better to just get a QJ.

Oh my god, really? After all that?

Yes really after all that.

 

[daniel0731ex]

That's not a secret.

for ignorant people it is

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Indeed, after all of that, I say, get a QJ. I haven't made one living being that has said "Rubik's is better than QJ". I haven't even heard "Rubik is better than Eastsheen"

I'm sorry, I just HAD to point that out. But congratulations, your creations have good opinions!

I think everyone should try to be more nice to him. He's very new, after all, and he went through the work to make this guide and put effort into it. It may have not been the greatest of all mods, but maybe useful to some early cubers who don't have good 4x4s. And hey, we were all newbs (some even noobs) at one time.

Happy unhappy welcoming into the forum.

 

[Reptile]

Step One: Throw Rubik's 4x4 in trash
Step Two: Buy any other 4x4.

Words cannot explain how much I agree with this statement.
my Eastsheen.

**** guys, (R) knows this guy! We should totally not criticize him now :rolleyes:

 

[jms_gears1]

or you could just get a QJ

My Rubik's 4x4 is my first and only 4x4, I cant even solve parities on it. So, from the unmodded Rubik's 4x4, I can't tell a difference.

If you learn to solve the 4x4 cube, you start to notice the differences between cubes a lot more. And by that, I mean you stay away from Rubik's brands, because they can't cut corners, they lock up like crazy and they pop. Alot.
