I've figured out that the core foot on the white side moves in and out. Whereas the core feet on all five other sides don't do this. How can I get the white side core foot to stop moving in and out?
I dont, think there is a solution for that, normally I would recommend to over lube the core but since that's a smart cube I don't think your supposed to lube the core.

My X-man bell pyraminx sucks. IDK if I got a dud, but my knockoff amazon Shengshou is faster and corner cuts better. I have taken it apart and set it up with the tensions and lubes that would seem good, but it sucks. Any help?

Could be that the tensions are tight...
1st - loosen the cube
2 - clean the cube and lube it with weight 5 on the core and use a fast lube on the pieces... This setup should work fine unless you average below 3 seconds.

I've done this. My cube still sucks, even with lots of DNM on the pieces. It's not like it's gummy, it just won't speed up. It might just be from too much use, because I've had it for about 2 years, but I've been having problems for at least a year, and I don't practice pyraminx often.

I dunno... It's probably that... Qiyi cubes suck up a lot of lube... Clean the core and all the pieces properly and give it a shot... If it doesn't work u prbly need another pyraminx

My Bell is the same way. Corner cutting is the worst and I have a SCS setup. I think I'm gonna get the Huanglong.

Anyone tried the different color nuts that come with the 356 M? I'm using yellow currently. Good but still overshoots sometimes.
