If you don't want to search out a video...

I used a dyke cutter to keep the mess down, hacksaw works just fine as well but its a possibility you'll cut the center pieces

Is it possible to disconnect and reconnect the chain from the cube?

once its off its off for good unless you find a better way

I know how to solve 4x4 reduction but when people ask what edge pairing (like order?) you use, someone answers like 2-2-2-... or like 4-2-2... what are they talking about?

How many edge pairs they do at once like multi-edge paring

Those numbers refer to how many edges the person pairs up with each slice-and-slice-back. Like, for a beginner's reduction, you would do a wide turn to pair up one edge, move it out of the way, and undo the wide turn, resulting in a single paired up edge. Or you can do the wide turn to pair up one edge, and then when you replace it with another edge, do it in such a way that when you undo the wide turn, a second edge is paired up (2-2-2-....). 3-2-2-2-3 is a commonly used reduction edge pairing method where you do a wide turn before doing anything else, and then replace 3 of the edges on that slice in such a way that when you undo the wide turn, 3 edges are paired up. And then they proceed with the 2-at-a-time pairing I just described (And since you did 3 the first time, then there will be 3 edges left after doing a few 2-at-a-time pairs, so when you do the 2-pairing approach, you'll actually solve all the remaining 3 edges at once by default)

Is it possible for me to tension my shengshou big cubes (4x4-7x7) without disassembling them?

 

[mdolszak]

This is a stupid question, but blindfolded 3x3 uses the same scrambles as regular 3x3, right?

Yes.

Could someone circle the places to shave off plastic on the ss 4x4 v3 for the florian and konsta mod combined?
I'm just mostly afraid of shaving off too much plastic/not enough plastic/taking plastic off where you shouldn't. I've only modded my guhong before and I think I relied more on breaking in for 6 months than actual modding.

Just do it. Stop being a wuss

yeah i did the mod horribly according to my black ss 4x4 v3. idk what i did wrong. but it sucks now. i didnt do the konsta mod though. im debating whether or not to do that. i dont think it would make a difference, the cube isnt as good as it was in my opinion. i just suck at modding. lol but give it a shot!

and spend like 2-4 hours sitting there blindly modding my cube when I really need to study so I don't have to take Alg. 2 as a senior? lol I'll consider doing it after the lube wears off and I finish testing out.

There are pics of the Konsta mod and a video of Florians. Be Tiger Woods. Just do it.

do it with multiple cubes? lol?

Is it possible for me to tension my shengshou big cubes (4x4-7x7) without disassembling them?

3 days to bump, not 3 hours

Yes, you can tension them. For 4x4+6x6, just spread the inner centres to tension. For 5x5+7x7, just pop off the cap

 

[YddEd]

Get the stackmat pro timers not qj. (if you were planning on stocking them)

Yep yep... soo true..

 

[antoineccantin]

Yep yep... soo true..

Stackmat Pro sucks. Get the Gen 2.

Orient then posititon

Is there a way that you can orient all of the pieces on a cube then position them? I don't think its possible, but I figured It couldn't hurt to ask. It might be useful as a FMC method.
