Modding Techniques

What are the different ways you can mod a cube besides lubrication? And how exactly do you do them?

 

[Isaac Paurus]

Lubing isn't really modding, IMO. But you can sand down some parts to make it better. I'd check out cyoubx's how to make a speed ube tutorial.

There are many types of mods out there for different cubes and each one achieves something that is wanted like smoothness or less lockups or quietness. What do you want to mod? 3x3? 4x4?

any mods for the Lanlan 4x4?

any mods for the Lanlan 4x4?

The "Squircle Mod" from Thrawst is designed to reduce lockups. It works with the Rubik's/Meffert's/QJ/LanLan 4x4 structure.

Is there any mods for the shengshou 4x4 v4, I cant tell if I have not done something right but mine locks up horribly. Tried all sorts of tensions.

 

[aznanimedude]

pretty sure the konsta and florian mods work for those, just do it little at a time so you don't overmod and ruin your cube

Center piece mod
Corner mod
Edge mod
All involve sanding and after I finish sanding I would wipe it clean and put a pencil tip size lubix just to clean it up. It quiets the cube drastically. Too bad you cant get my cube, you would see what I mean.

I don't fully agree to modding zhanchi's, some are just fine the way they are, however I did mod two of mine exactly the same and the difference between the two was drastic, one was white 55mm which turned extremely gummy (after lube ofc) and if anything slower, but a ton smoother: almost guhong like. My black 57 became even faster - almost as if the core had been hollowed out and nothing was hitting anything: totally frictionless. IMO the white was better before modding but the black became even better. Zhanchi's just seem so random...

Any additional mods for a guhong v2 other than the 48 point edge mod?

The guhong v2 is so perfect. Why would you mod it!? There are alot of mods on youtube to choose from though. I am a big Guhong v2 fanboy(or girl) and I feel that to make the Gv2 feel awesome, over lubricate it will something lubix or traxxas like. Then solve it overlubed a few times. Then wipe the lubricant out with a paper towel. This in my opinion makes the Gv2 feel amazing! It spreads the lubricant evenly over the pieces and makes it sooo fast and smooth!

I did the Konsta + Florian mod on my ss v3, but it ended up locking up more than I started :/ Anyone else have a similar result?
