What the hell is wrong with you

Thank you for the support.

Thank you for the support.

It's not about making a 6x6 magcore, it's making a Shadow V2 magcore. WHY WOULD YOU BUY A SHADOW V2 IF THE MGC EXISTS

I'm glad you love the idea.

I'm glad you love the idea.

I actually do genuinely love the idea of a 6x6 magnetic core, and think it would do lots of good for stability.

Also, I think I've told you why I have the Shadow like 3 times this year lol. I got it in a $30 mystery puzzle from scs.

Good to know, remind me again in 12 minutes when I forget again. I guess there is the smaller size when compared to the same price (in terms of the mystery puzzle price) against the MGC without having to pay so much for the AoShi.

Good News:
I have received word that a product containing one of my Filacores has arrived at the Cubicle NY for testing.

You would be correct

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

AoShi.

Thought about making one thru my site

it's just so expensive. the risk is high if they don't sell y'know. I'm wondering if those new meilong 6x6s are any good.

Tried both the 6x6 and 7x7 Meilong V2s at a comp, they are perfectly cromulent. The size felt a little off-putting as I am used to the beeg MGC (66 mm) and YuFu V2 (69 mm), but they performed well. Lacking in the reverse cut department though.

Here's a video on some mods, incidentally made by the same guy as the PLA vs PETG video.

if you're serious about custom modding a 6×6 this can help out:

also some good pointers and ideas applicable to other big cubes

Thanks. Still not sure how to, if even to, approach this project. Lots to plan still

If you're planning on making a magnetic core Valk in collaboration with @NebraskanSpeedsolver I would be willing to help you out with the project. I could design something for the corners because the way they fit together are very specific, you could send me the files for the core, and then I could be a tester. I can probably print at my school because my school has a 3d printer, but if not, I can just design something for you and then send you the files for you to test on your own Valk in the future.

I don't own anything valk rn, and I don't know how crazy Nebraskan and I are about doing something valk. were doing lot's of mgc right now. with my kits, he's even installed one into his 7x7. cool to know that you have printers at your school tho. will definitely keep that in mind.
