Mini QJ 4x4 Lockup Problem

[BillB]

Mine was starting to get a nice loose feeling just before it locked up. When I saw what the problem was I tried putting in a little spacer so even when the screw was tight, the halves would have more clearance but the pin kept popping out of the hole and it'd lock again.

my mini QJ (which i bought before 1 week) pops sometimes, and like getting 3-5 pieces out of the cube (Including a centre piece), I'm not sure why, does anyone have any idea about this? I'd appreciate it

try tightening the screw

Thanks it worked, but the cube is tight now, would it be normal after playing with it for a while? and would the screw get loose so i need to tight it again?

thanks again

Well, if its too tight now lossen it very slightly, like 1/16 or 1/8 and it should be good. And yes after breaking in it will become looser with the screw all the way in and the screw will ocationally loosen its self

Lubes it after you tighten it.

I bought a QJ 4x4 and had no problems with it what so ever.

My mini QJ NEVER popped. It was wicked fast too. But all that changed one day when I was going a bit too fast. I tried cutting corners and got too adventerous for my own good. BAM! Core broke. I tried glueing it together, but it popped like mad. So i junked the cube. I guess I'll buy a YJ soon.

Same thing happened to me, but I could fix it. I'm getting a Maru soon anyway.

Maru is nice but it's very different from the qj mini.

They are bigger, which took some getting used to. There is more friction when turning which makes it much easier to control but it's slower. The inner layers are clickier than the outside. I like it a lot but unless I can speed it up some I'll never be a Maru fanboy.

The QJ is much faster but it locks up a lot costing time. I like the size of it.

Progressive might be able to fix it. They have all different kinds of insurance. Car insurance, truck insurance, boat insurance, motorcycle insurance, cube insurance. Now that's progressive.

EDIT: They don't fix QJ or Meffert's puzzles.
