I have an unnamed non-magnetic YJ cube that I bought for $3.90 from a mall and it's turning feels more like a $10 budget cube from 2018. I have never seen a core of a 3x3 like that before and the cube is non-adjustable (no screws).


The cube itself

Side by side with the super rs3m ballcore (left)

Core

Center cap off

Spring and piece removed from center; underside of center cap

The packaging of the cube looked like this (it was wrapped in plastic without a box and the model name was not shown on the price tag. Note that the YJ on top is not the same exact model as the other one and they were bought from two seperate stores)

There has only been one model of the 6x6 from Cyclone boys and its the G6 6x6.

Thank you! If anybody knows more about it, I would like to magnetize it, and tips on it will be appreciated.

That’s a decent 6x6, just that the size is huge compared to latest 6x6

Magnets recommended:
3*2 n35 for inners
4*2 n35 for 2nd layer
Mixing 4*2 n35 with 4*1.5 n35 for outers (4*1.5 in the corners)

Use 3x2 n35 magnets for the inside, 4x2 n35 magnets for the middle, and 4x2 n35 magnets with 4x1.5 n35 magnets on the outside (with 4x1.5 in the corners). This configuration should help you achieve the desired magnetization on your 6x6 cube.

Just scored another 'older' cube. Have searched a fair bit and found nothing close so far.
Anyone recognise this? Some sort of logo inside the center caps, not one I'm familiar with.
Cheers.

What I can say is that is the moyu logo, and not part of the weilong gts/wrm line. It's a newer older cube, since it has that anti-pop design on the corners.

When I search for Moyu logo, I get this. Which doesn't look anything like it (the text). Unless it's an old/alternative one?

They stacked it in a 2x2 pattern

 

[Manxkiwi]

Yes I appreciate that. There's still only one quarter of the symbols the same though. Having said that, I know nothing about Chinese writing.
Did it change at some point? The 9th pic is rotated to the correct orientation (I think?).
Yes, obviously it's post Zanchi, as it has torpedos. That's why I'm here, to try to identify it. Cheers.
It seems anything over two years old is considered old on the forum these days..

Lol. Didn't think of that, stoopid me.

possibly an AoLong

Nope, Just look at my reply post up above. I correctly gave the proper info to ID that cube.

Excellent, well done and thank you. It would seem it's a 2018 cube. Nothing special, but at least I know what it is now. Cheers.

You're welcome. Besides if you haven't been keeping in touch with what the popular brands/puzzles are from the past 5 years or so then you should have known that the logo on the underside of the center cap was the YJ logo.

 

[Manxkiwi]

If you search for yj logo or Yong Jun logo, you won't get these symbols coming up. Not when I searched anyway..
Plus YJ isn't as big a player as Moyu and Gan etc. That and I only have a handful of YJ cubes. I certainly wasn't familiar with the logo.
Many thanks all the same.
