this is a good video on how to get rid of all of the problems and you dont even need to take it apart.

 

[ScottyDoesntCube]

If you do that then the cube dust will just clog up the puzzle and you'll have to take it apart anyway.

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?

I don't think so, the sand paper won't stay on well I don't see how sanding down the puzzle will work well, it would be a good idea to try this, it's in German but you can follow along and just do what he does, you could use sandpaper or a file instead of a dremel for the parts where he uses a dremel if you don't have a dremel. (Tip: Better to undermod than to overmod!)

You could also try Florian modding it like a 4x4 if you want to.

VCube 7x7 Mods

What mods can i do on a VCube 7x7. Please include videos on how to do the mod and how the cube is after.

 

[tx789]

This isn't really a mod. Just solve it 200 times or so.

Where is a good tutorial of how to make a 3x3 shape mod? I don't want to ruin my cubes.

Edit: I found this http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-your-own-modified-Rubiks-Cube/

Do you think it's a good tutorial? For me it looks good and easy to follow.

I did this mod to my V-cube 7....it turns amazing, rarely pops, and is a joy to solve now. It is 99.98% as good as my Shengshou 7x7

Has anyone tried konsta modding there SS 5x5? I've looked and there's very little on the topic. I tried it out and think it reduces lockups significantly, so I'd like to hear other peoples results.

That's exactly what I meant! I've Florian modded my cube and it was great, I just wanted to see if others have tried this adapted version of the konsta mod.

 

[PeelingStickers]

I did consider it, but I'm happy with my 5x5 as it is. If I get another one I might try it on that to see how it performs.

does anyone have any ideas on a shape mod for a 7x7x7 shengshou?

I posted this in the OAQT, but didn't get any reply, so I decided to post here.

Exactly where and how much would you mod a Diansheng 3x3 (the painted one) such that the stability and feel are retained yet it improves corner cutting (even by a bit) ?

Don't ask me to get a new, better cube, I'm trying to make this cube better because I intend to use it for feet (cause it's very controllable).

 

[SpicyOranges]

I am thinking of making a vcube 7 ball, but was wondering if it would be better if I were to start with something smaller. Any advice?

This is a Vcube 7 mod I did on my cube. The video is old, but I now average sub-6 with this cube and got my PB of 5:28 on it. Still faster than my SS 7x7.

 

[mrnephew]

I'm considering florian modding my 4x4, but I haven't done mods much, so I'm worried.
