Lol sorry.
I though I should post in the hardware section... :/

You average over 20. You don't need to mod your cube to get better times. Lube regularly and don't worry about it.

I know that mods wont make me faster, but I just want to mod a cube for the fun of it and I want to know if the 48 PEM is good to do.

I mod my Dayan cubes to make them smoother, not faster. It makes them quieter - coupled with good lubing, it makes them smoother. I've done 48pem on a Guhong 2 and 2 Zhanchis. In all honesty it has far more of an effect on the Guhong 2, but it's definitely made the Zhanchi a bit quieter.

The only way to get faster is to practice. Don't expect modding to increase your speed.

So no, it's not needed, but if you like smooth, quiet cubes, then go for it.

Mine felt smoother. Then I lubed it and it felt the same as before lol.

Okay, so I got a new guhong v2 and fully modded the corner base by rounding it off and making it smaller (like al60) then doing the 48 pem and rounding some other parts on the edge.... As soon as I finished, I really couldn't feel a difference from a non-modded guhong.... Oh and I haven't lubed it yet.... does it make a big difference to the feeling once the modded cube has been lubed?

 

[pipkiksass]

Yes! Depending on what tools you used to mods, you may also have rough surfaces which will require breaking in.

I've recommend lubing, doing a couple of thousand solves, cleaning out all the flush/worn off plastic, then re-lubing.

Ghost Hand v2 Dayan mod

Hello fellow cubers!

​

I have an idea to put a dayan core into a ghost hand v2, just as a pass time project...
What are your views? If any one has tried it please tell me the results.


tnx:tu

You call that a mod? You call that a "project"? That's like a five minutes thing and won't even change how the cube turns.

 

[Kuber]

I am doing it just to pass some time..
And also if you have any more ideas to do with them please tell.

Also planning to make it corner cut

The time it took for you to make this thread could have been used trying to swap the cores. In any case, this is by no means a mod that is worth creating a new thread for, given that you haven't even done it.

I understand you are new to this forum and I don't want to indicate that nobody cares about what you do, but bare in mind that some menial alterations to cubes are often not worth sharing, as they are common and may not have much difference to a cube.

Anyway. Try the 'mod' and get back to us to see how the cube fares. For future reference, users on this forum will not seem very welcoming if you post outdated mods on outdated cubes.

Welcome to the forums! (not sarcasm)

So I'm planning to mod my new SS 4x4, and this time I don't want it to fail like my previous one. Could someone who successfully modded thei 4x4 please tell me the things I did wrong with my old 4x4? After having Konsta + Florian modded it, the cube still locked up and the M slices sucked, and personally I thought the mod made it even worse. Here are some pictures of the pieces:

Take your time make that **** smoother it looks like your dog chewed em.

 

[Wassili]

Haha, it was done with a dremel, too lazy to do it with sand paper, and it might just look that way because the plastic is white, and so the details really show.

I think he's right though, and that you can get a better result by now making it smoother with sand paper. I have a successfully modded SS4x4, and that looks a lot smoother then yours.

 

[Wassili]

Ok, will do for this one. I also thought the internals were a bit over modded, or are they alright?

On my modded SS I first used my dremel then used a Nail file to smoothed it out.

Take your time and make sure the pieces are smoother. Also, the edges from you old mod could've been rounded off better (yours looked more less angled off).

Ok, will do guys, thanks for the help. And ouch Womack is banned?
