Puzzle Mod / Modding thread

[MrIndianTeen]

Hi this will be a thread on any modded cubes you have. You can share pictures here too.

I'll start w/ an "elite" I just made.

Here are my mods.

Keep clicking on next to see the other pics.

how does it play?

 

[MrIndianTeen]

It's a pretty good cube actually.

Cuts 45 degrees sometimes more

Reverse corner cuts a 3/4 of a peice.

Turns really smooth and fast

Never Pops or Locks up.

Dirty.

 

[MrIndianTeen]

good way or bad way? I still have to clean it out cause I just finished

I don't have any pictures of the mods, but as far as I can remember, I have modded my V5 using MeMyselfandPi's mod, my V7 which I made into an adjustable core (not sure if you would really call that a mod), my Rubik's brand 3x3 which i have done numerous mods on, my A5 which I did the Haiyan Memory mod on, and my old Rubik's 4x4 (broke, don't have it any more) which I did the squircle mod on. There are probably more mods that I've done that I don't remember, I'll probably put them in later. I'll also probably do more mods in the future, I might do the squircle mod on my Mini QJ.

Bad way. I'll let you know soon.

[MrIndianTeen]

Ok let me know through a PM. I might be able to reverse it.

are you happy with your "elite" or do you wish that you had done something different?

 

[asportking]

I once modded a rubik's 3x3 into some sort of shape (I think I was half-truncated cube), but I put a ton of epoxy into it, so it weighs like as much as a v-7, and I never stickered it, so it was kind of a fail. I did make a Siamese cube though.

This is unnecessary because there is very little friction at that part of the corner piece.

 

[Itchy Cacti]

The 48-point edge mod is only to reduce the clickeyness, or is it for other things like corner cuts and turning speed?

 

[MrIndianTeen]

It can be used to improve speed as well.

It helps w/ the reverse corner cutting.

If I were to do this over again I wish I would've taken more time to improve the general rounding "mod" of it.

It reduced popping for me.
I modded my GuHong into an Ultimate:

(no pictures, sorry)
and what went from a GuHong that popped once every 7 solves (tensions were right and even) went to a cube that hasn't popped at all.
The Ultimate is also on looser tensions too.

 

[MrIndianTeen]

Modded on right, normal on left.

This mod on a storebought improves corner cutting.

 

[thackernerd]

Whats the best tutorial to make an elite becuase i have a lot of time on my hands and my main speedcube is an f2 right now...

 

[MrIndianTeen]

This is what I used.

 

[nat4sail]

This is what I used.

i used this one too
my cube came out "frictionless" and amazing
