New Gans 356 cube!

[guysensei1]

So I received my cube. It's kind of unstable and wiggly though, any things to fix that?

Another minor issue I have is that the floppiness combined with the sharp corner makes my finger get poked. It kind of hurts

The unstable-ness has to do with the shape of the pieces. The only thing you can do is tighten the puzzle down. You could round off the edges a bit with sand paper (not too much though)

Nothing I have tried seems to help enough. Unscrewing the corners does relieve the catching while just testing it, but then during solves I find myself catching just because the cube is so unstable and goes out of shape so easily. It had great potential but unfortunately is a very flawed cube - disappointing.

I've found that the unscrewing mod doesn't work too well unless you also sand down the corners a bit. Might just be me, though.

Yeah the unscrewing thing did lower the catching issue (by eighty percent) but it didnt fully go. I think i must sand the corners too.

I got this cube, and honestly it seems perfect. Can't really think of anything wrong with it.

Don't round off the edges, open up the corner pieces and tighten the individual pieces.

Don't round off the edges, open up the corner pieces and tighten the individual pieces.

The rounding off edges is not to prevent catching, but sharp corners poking fingers that guysensei1 brought up. Not large florian cuts, but just a bit off of the edge to not hurt the fingers.

Don't round off the edges, open up the corner pieces and tighten the individual pieces.

Except that in several cases (as in, pretty much everyone I've actually talked to about this), just tightening or loosening the pieces didn't do it until the corners were rounded off slightly.

I got this cube today and it is just amazing. For some reason the catching problem is not as pronounced on my cube as on others, so I must be lucky.

Where is the best place to get this cube in black, bearing in mind I live in the UK.

Probably cubezz or lightake. I prefer cubezz though.

Yeah. Hopefully the price will cease a little bit. It's still over 20 dollars.

I got mine from the Cubicle right at the beginning of May. I don't regret it, best $20(+$10 p+p) I ever spent on a cubing product, ayy.

Well what exactly qualifies "catching?"

Blue/Pink Gans 356

I found these pictures on taobao and I was wondering if anyone knew when or if these would be available in US?

They look really awesome, I'm especially interested in the blue one

The blue one looks especially pretty.

I have this cube also and I find the instability is a big pain so what I did was loosen the corners the full 3 turns and then tighten the heck out of the centers and add some weight one lube
