Making an Adjustable Core for the V Cube 5

Read one post above you

well i tried everything, my center piece starts to get bad

the cutter can't reach the rivet's head, and by force, i just can't cut it or pull it out, i used everything

did i just lost my v-cube 5 core?

 

[JLarsen]

Um, can you get off the rivet head?

 

[HASH-CUBE]

it's so deep that i can't reach it, and tried a dremel but same thing

It's not too hard, if you pick a strong wire cutter and some biceps might help.
Tip: use your fapping hand to do this.

oh man you serious? haha i tried as hard as hell too, its like impossible XD

thats becuase your fapping hand it too weak

you cum too quickly

ONTOPIC: when my v5 goes, ill definitely be trying this, thanks!

i wonder if you could simply pull the centerpiece off with force?

like so. simply put your feet on the net thingy&pull the piece off the core. you could make it easier by turning the rivets like crazy before pulling it off (maybe with a driller with a screwdriver attached).

For 6x6 and 7x7:
Why can't you use an extra-long screw and lots of washers for spacing (instead of keeping pieces of the old core extensions)?

and OD on washers on that screw between the center and the core.

I received four V-5 cubes today and there are differences between them(as expected). One of them is what i call "perfect", even the Rw and Lw moves are great.

The other three V-cubes are about the same as the "perfect" one, except the inner layers ( =not that smooth as I want).
I did the pi-mod at one of them and the out layers are very smooth, but the inner layers are still the same.

I´m not really sure that this will be better with time, or?!
I think that adjustable cores should make the difference.

I think I shall experiment with one of them. If it´s so difficult to make adjustable cores, maybe sanding the inside/backside of the centers can help?!

heyy so what did you use to recess the washers in to the centre pieces? (like, what tools) does the fact it goes in to the joint matter too much?

I used a dremil.

You mean a Dremel?

You can, it works fine in my V-6 and 7. I don't even use washers for spacing i just leave a gap between the core and the center piece.

Oh I kinda quit cubing, but I guess I'll share I made some cubes without the extensions, they are a lot better. Less friction, effort, and problems, while the stability is still the same.

So does that mean you will give me an adjustable V5 core for free? =p

I like this.
But the vids are gone.
Can I have the adjustable core then?

Sorry for the double post...and bump.
I plan on doing this.
BUT
I'm wondering. DO you take off the center cap with the center sticker on it? I know you do. But let's say you wanna adjust it in the future, after you super glued it on in the past. Do you have to pry the beast off?
