Shengshou 6x6 + florian mod

Is it a good idea to put lube on the springs too?

@emi: idk of a mod to reduce popping. maybe try tightening the cube till it won't pop anymore. a test I usually do is to turn the top layer 45 degrees and try to pry out a set of the 4 edge pieces that form the edges during the 3x3 stage. i repeat for each layer and if it doesn't pop i deep it fit for solving, i keep cubes as loose as possible without explosions. but for modding, rounding the corner stalks would probably be a good place to start. that would, at the very least, reduce some lockups. I'd also smooth out the corner base like in the florian and (sort of like in the) v-cube 5 mod.

@googlebleh: yes. many cubers usually lubricate the center, screw, and spring mechanism with a high(or low?)-viscosity lubricant such as lubix or traxxas 50k (what i use since its WAY cheaper). what florian did in his 5x5 mod was put some on the screw, then put on the spring, then put some on the spring.

I don't want to change the tension because it is very good for solving. However sometimes just that one edge piece pops out and that can cause inner pieces to pop out as well. Taking out four edge pieces is not possible...and I don't want to modify the corner stalks until I am absolutely sure that this won't make it unstable or turn worse. Maybe I just need to clean it, I don't know.

I know literally nothing about Florian modding and changing springs, but I think your best bet is Dayan springs and Florian, because Dayan cubes are so smooth.

Haha, yes it must be the springs that make them smooth

don't worry, rounding the stalks a bit doesn't do anything to add popping. it just reduces catching. rounding off the bottom of the piece or other things that hook under other pieces may do this, but the stalks shouldn't.
