Is there any hope of getting a single replacement piece?

That doesn't look too bad, you could probably just use some apoxie sculpt to fix it. But I don't think you could buy just a single one.

I bought a Dayan+MF8 4x4 based on the fact that many say its one of the best on the market (wasn't willing to pay 40+ for x-cube). Now I know that out of the box its pretty terrible, but how long should it take to break in? I've had it for a good month or so. I don't play with it often (mainly because its terrible, and partly because I'm focused on improving 3x3), but enough that I would think it should be broken in by now. But the inner layers are still slow, and the outers are even worse. If I try to go fast at all, the cube just feels squishy and pops most of the time. I've taken it apart and tensioned the core, and lubed with CRC (all I have at the moment, planning on getting lubix soon). Is there something most people do to it that I'm just missing? Should I loosen the tension more? I hope I just didn't get a bad one...

Lube the innermost 2x2 core. Try a couple lubes I guess the Dayan works well with a mixture

Lube core with lubix -> put maru lube in outer layers

Which mini 3x3x3 is better sized. Alpha 48 (or 47) millimeters, or 52 mm.

EDIT: For one handed

Are you honestly that spoiled by the dayan guhong?
You can get fast averages without reverse corner cutting

For example: Rubik's cube average of 12: 8.84 seconds

Where should I learn python/pygame from? I watched badmephisto's tutorials and thenewboston's game development tutorials, but those just kinda stopped and I dunno what I should learn next...

Bump. Again.

 

[OMGitsSolved]

Is there a website with pictures of what algorithm to use in Roux during L6E? It's hard for me to remember every case of non oriented pieces,

Bump....
