Moyu 4*4 WeiSu 魔域威速

[sneaklyfox]

Ok, so many Weisu threads. I'm wondering if anyone has this weird center piece twist problem I have sometimes. It catches when I turn an outer layer and then one of the center pieces will twist in place and then it's at a weird angle. Sometimes it works if I twist the layer back but usually I have trouble getting it out and pushing it back in correctly. I don't really know what's happening. Anyone with similar experience? Any ideas why or how I can get rid of this? Should I adjust the tensions?

Tighten every side like a quarter turn.

Thanks. I did as you suggested and we'll see how it goes. I suspected my weisu was a tad bit on the loose side. I don't think I'll be taking it fully apart ever but I probably can just stick some lube in by pulling apart the pieces. I am thinking of using lubicle speedy on it. One of these days...

What is that little thing on the centers meant for? It's catching on my little center pieces and making it very difficult to make wide turns on some faces.

It's to keep the core in alignment.

It's to keep the core in alignment.

Is it possible to just sand that down?

Did you remove the stalks of the core when you disassembled? I'm not sure if the 'keying' on the stalks allows you to reverse it, but that would likely contribute to this issue if so.

Could you elaborate on that? Don't know what keying the stalks means. There's something definitely wrong with my Weisu.

 

[Mollerz]

It is necessary. If you sand it down the cube won't turn at all.

So is anyone else having trouble tensioning? I've gotton five sides perfect, but there's always one side that has a super bumpy feel.

Put some lube in the outer layers. They stick when the inner layers are faster.

Sadly that only helped a bit and for a short amount of time :/ I'll try it again, maybe clean, relube and retension it. I know this cube can be awesome, but as it is, I can hardly control it..

Guess where you can buy it for 9.9$?

Hmmm. This is a tough one.

Maybe Amazon? No, can't be. Lightake? Nah. It's obviously NOT wallbuys.com *cough cough /sarcasm

XD just kidding

I think this may be my prolem too.

Has anyone found a fix/mod to reduce the little piece pops? I know there is the AoSu coming out, it seems awesome, but I don't want to spend another $30 on it.

I don't think there is. Anyway, you can finish a solve fine with one out and it doesn't take too much to put it back in.

On the official MoYu forum they said the little inner piece pop is caused by the springs being too strong. They have reduced the springs' length and made the tensions tighter in later mass produced versions to reduce pops (while sacrificing a bit of corner cutting). After the new mold comes out they said they will include extra springs of different strengths. With the new aosu coming out though I'm not sure if it'll be worth to buy at that point though.

tl;dr
AoSu will fix everything, hopefully. In the mean time adjust tensions and use weaker springs.

 

[AFatTick]

I just tightened my WeiSu, it's definitely not going to pop not, but I don't think the nonpopping is worth not having nice corner cutting.

 

[Lagom]

After i modded and broke in mine its as fast as the SS, never ever pops and the 2 layers stick together... Did a slight Florian mod, especially to the center pieces, cut the springs half a lap and lubed with a high ammount of 5000cst
