2 of my meffert 4x4 center snapped. I've got a Rubik 4x4 that I could use for replacing the centers but they are two big. Are there anyway to mod the rubik 4x4 pieces so they would fit? Has this happen before if so does it do it to most mefferts 4x4? My dad reckon that it too small to super-glue it but he's going to try. I got this cube in July this year and I heard that meffert 4x4 last for a long time. Is there anything I could do to it? Thanks

Figure oout which parts need to be sanded and reduced in size.
 
It's black and I'm from Australia which is quite far away from USA. I've contacted mefferts and they said they will give it to me for free.

Good luck with that. Mefferts has possibly the worst customer service I've experienced. This same thing happened to me, and after many emails, they stopped avoiding me. They sent me 5x5 centres again and again. Man, I should really track down all the emails to show how ridiculously bad it was. Eventually, I asked Faz, as his had broken (white).
Ask Josh at Melbourne Cube Day. He either has a broken QJ, or Mefferts, but it's black and would work. (His core broke).
If all fails, I could sell you a brand new mini QJ for $9.50 :). Either black or white. I also have white DaYan + MF8 4x4s left, however, only in white. (Sorry if this has basically turned into an advertisement)
I think I remember you, at Melbourne Cube Day, if I remember, I'll try to see what I can do about getting Josh to give you a piece :P

That's because you're the Michael Jordan of cubbing?
Imagine Nike saying "that's your problem if your snickers are all thorn after just one playtime".

Ouch.

Well, I hate Meffert's.
As my signature says, two puzzles, two came cracked and... no answer to my e-mails.

I won't be going to Melbourne Cube day competition. The competition in Melbourne are 3 hrs drive away from where I live. If there is a competition this summer holidays I willl probably go to that. THis is the email they sent me...

We will send you two free replacement pieces/
