I haven't actually implemented this idea yet, so I don't mind if it gets abused
DIY's are great cos they're springloaded, but that's equally their downfall, cos they pop. Store-bought Rubik's cubes are really great when their well broken in, but that's long. I was just wondering what made a store bought cube broken-in? Is it cos the rivet has loosened just enough to make the cube cut corners but without making it poppable? If so, why not repace the spring in a DIY with something rigid that allows for just enough movement (and maybe put a small bit of spring as well) so that the center cubie can never exceed a certain distance away from the core, but still be loose enough to be smooth and cut corners? That was my stupid idea.
