The Cube Hybrid Thread

[koreancuber]

I'm really liking the Rubik's cubies in the FII frame. No idea why, but I can verify the 33 degree corner cuts. In fact, I got 34 degrees! However, the cube pops a bit much, especially because I sanded down my cubies.

I also like the C4Y core and spring with DS cubies. Extremely fast (though not quite as fast as the original) and cuts down on lock-ups from the DS. Corner cutting was slightly increased. If only DS cubes came in black...

My Rubik's cubies and FII frame doesn't pop at all. Is yours at a too loose tension? Its good at a medium tight tension for my taste.

YJ cubies on a c4u core is amazing

 

[stinkocheeze]

what are the best cubies for a c4y core?

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Type C

 

[stinkocheeze]

Type C

c or cii?

 

[Innocence]

Type C

c or cii?

Either's good, I've never done C, but CII's pretty good. As they're similar, I'd assume you get similar results.

I only have a mini C.

 

[cincyaviation]

type c cubies on type f frame = good
C4Y cubies on type f frame = potential suicide causer (bad)

if you have a worn-out type C, replace the springs with the rubrik's spring (one one with the large head). it'll become a really nice OH cube, and it's good for 2hand solving aswell0

Has anyone tried swapping ghost hand screws and springs with type a's? I'd like some opinions just in case I F- up my godly ghost hand.

 

[4Chan]

Hehe, actually yes.

It felt very... slow and... gummy?
As if the tension was too high, and even when the tension was set loose, it had a strong propensity to pop.


Read my second to latest journal entry.

My current Ghost hand is composed of type A washers + original spring, C4Y screw, C4Y core.

Oh and, wooo, Konata...

Ok thanks.
Btw, have you tried to truly break in the Ghost hand?
I Cleaned, broke in, and lubed the Ghost hand for a month. It looses all of its gummy feel, and becomes like a smooth Rubik's brand. It like, the best cube evar now.

Oh noes, I only sparingly used it.
Only recently have I begun to use it seriously.


And I am in shock.
You... RESPONDED CORRECTLY. O_O!!!!!!!
*Ahem*
I believe, it's spaghetti.

I hope she made lotsof it...
Im so hungry, I could eat an octorok.

Yeah, periodically Use, Lube, and Clean the Ghost hand. Cube-smith stickers also seem to change the feel (or at least it did for me).

 

[4Chan]

Yeah, it changed the feeling for my cube as well.

I currently have florescent Green, Yellow, and Orange, as well as a light blue on my Ghost hand.

That was actually once my standard, before I ran out of sets. (I had 10 sets)

Taiyan Edges, Corners, Center Pieces, + C4U core (maybe plus springs and screws? If not, the Taiyan's?)

 

[guitardude7241]

D-II CUBIES PLUS C4Y EVERYTHING ELSE = BETTER THAN C-II CUBIES AND C4Y EVERYTHING ELSE

SO
FREAKING
AMAZING

 

[Dionz]

Has anyone tried
ALL Taiyan Cubies including the center cubie on a C4U core?

I tried to put the cubies on a c4y core and is really lose and doesn't pop as easy as it feels

D-II CUBIES PLUS C4Y EVERYTHING ELSE = BETTER THAN C-II CUBIES AND C4Y EVERYTHING ELSE

Custom-built DIY:
Rubik's Icon cubies (including centers) with Type-AIII core, screws and springs! Works really well. Almost never pops (except center caps occasionally). Smooth when lubricated. Easy to make (check out my YouTube channel for a good tutorial)!

Old type A I cubies with cube4you core and centres is amazing !!
