On what basis do you believe it doesn't help? Do you have evidence that lubricating the threads will increase the chance of the centres unscrewing and that it doesn't reduce the chance of stripping a core? Lubricating threads is standard practice in bicycle maintenance.

You lubricate a screw/nut if you want it to more easily come lose again. Why do you think the threads in the lead screws of lathes/mills/whatever are lubed up?
It technically will help against stripping the nut because the nut won't wear while the screw unscrews.
There is also a difference between screws thst get tight and ones that stay floating.
Bottom line. Buying a nylock nut is still the best option after stripping the core. Or getting the Volt. Mine came with a nylock

You can sort by number of slices
I also wouldn't be surprised if speedcubedb had a trainer as well

I need help with SQ1! I am sub-30, and know how to do most cube shape cases. I know CSP for two cases, but can't do it in under 15 seconds. How should I progress? Should I learn algorithmic EP, or intuitive, like from Cube Master?

Anyone have optimal EP algs?
Are the algs on Speedcubedb good?

If you mean move-optimal, you probably don't want those. I had a quick look at speedcubedb and the algs don't look good. Best to refer to the Square-1 Resources.

Not exactly move-optimal, because speed-optimal is most important of course. Thanks for the resource!

i have some questions about CSP for sq1.
1. I am averaging around 18. Should I learn it?
2. I'm fine with the cs algs / intuitive algs, but how to i trace without havnng to think about the colours?
3. If I do learn this, should I learn OBL?
also please tell me if im in the wrong forum
