Anyone know of a guide for assembling a master FTO? Mine popped so badly everything other than the core fully came apart. At this point I've figured out how some of the pieces go to together, but not enough to assemble the first layer and start adding to it

Same case here, my MF8 FTO popped 2 years back and I have not yet reassembled it. It is just too delicate work and there is no enough spring or soft plastic to make the assembly process seemless.

how would you solve a master fto?someone told me its just fto but bigger but I'd assume its way more complicated than that

I don’t have one but it seems like it is just the same solving method, only difference being that the centers are bigger

The current method being worked on is a yau adjacent method, the last step is l4t if you are a Bencisco user

is the master FTO like a 5x5 version of an FTO?

It is a 4 layered fto, the 5 layer fto exists but has to be custom made and is much more pricey.

I have a basic understanding on the internal mechanisms of big cubes so excuse me if I'm wrong.
But wouldn't a 4x4 fto have the internal pieces of a 5x5 fto?
If so, why isn't a 5x5 fto mass produced yet?

It has something to do with the mechanism of a 5 layered fto requires a different design than a 4 layered fto. If I remember correctly the one by Seth Holiday includes rods in the design. Here’s the video on it 5 layered fto

Unfortunately the way NxNs and FTOs work are quite different.

In the doc I will be including the current method for l2c that is finished and was used in the 1:50 ao5

If anyone is interested in the method for l2c used in the prior world best times let me know.
