Puzzle Mod / Modding thread

you could put tracks bettwen the core pices that lock them together yet they could still move, that would only add 5-10 g to the weight.
this would realy go somewhere

Except pops would be hell.

Except pops would be hell.

you could make it unpopable

 

[Dapianokid]

you could make it unpopable

Becuase you can just do that all t he time with every cube. Such is why we have such a tremendous number of cubes that never pop. [/sarcasm]

This cube is suddenly getting extremely complicated.

Here is a video I made about my Modded SS Pyraminx.

Bought a Guhong V2. Put in torpedos.(I know it's basically a boxy Zhanchi)
Clicky, felt like ****. Worst 3x3x3 I owned.

48 edge point modded it(Thanks Lubix for the insight for what to look at)
Lubed weight 5 from thecubicle.us

Amazing now. If you have a Guhong. I highly recommend doing this edge mod.

Should I mod my guhong v2 florian? ( it shucks)

No the Guhong It already good enough and besides it already has the florin mod.

Guhong V2 already has torpedoes in it, so you must have a V1

Guhong v2 is already "florian" modded. Florian mod means doing the hole between corner and edgepieces, like all dayan cubes are.

The florian mod is basically to make the cube more dayan-ish, why would you want to make your dayan cube more dayan-ish?

It's a V2. I meant to say "I chose to put them in." =P Was considering leaving them out because I read torpedos make for a louder cube.

All Dayan's "need" a bit of "Florian mod" if you're looking to create the perfect cube....Makes the cube cut corners with less effort

Especially the corners

No.. Not sure where you got that information. It will do nothing except make it looser and *****tier than it was.

Ive modded tons of Zhanchis and when i mod the pieces around the holes, it cuts corners easier. Gotta do it right tho

But who cares about cutting corners easier if it effortlessly cuts the amount you use during a solve? Any more is just a useless stunt.

If it cuts corners easier you get a more fluid solve...

People pop their cubes cause they cut corners more than the cube can handle

However, you do what you want

 

[Lchu613]

Lagom you should post a video about the mods you do, I'm interested.

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?44994-Dayan-ZhanChi-Florian-MOD that is what a florian modded Dayan looks like.

 

[Lchu613]

OH GOD MY EYES
Yeah that's an example of an overmodded piece of cube.

exactly why you should not florian mod a Dayan cube.

Possible easy c4y gigaminx mod

I want to mod my c4y gigminx, but I dont want to take it apart completely. I've watched multiple tutorials, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way to do it.
My idea is to take out a few pieces throughout the puzzle and temporarily glue or tape on some sandpaper. Then put the puzzle back together and work that around with a few solves. then I can take the sand paper out and lube it and other stuff. Do you think this will work? Could it harm the puzzle?
