anyone tried maru lube + x-cube4?

Yes, however I've not tried any other lubes so I have nothing to compare it with (Maybe the Reese Bros can help out more).
Seems fine to me though.

Bump. Again.

If nobody is helping you with your game dev question, then why not ask it on a game dev forum?

Basically what yoou want to do is lube the core with lubix using Izovires video on youtube, then spray the pieces with d39 and assemble it, do about 5 solves on it to work in the d39 completely (or use CRC if you don't have d39) then put the maru lube in around 3 seperate places so it gets worked in everywhere, first only turn the outer layers a bit then start doing wide turns, it also gets in the inner slices and makes them a bit better I think.

So yea, I recommend maru lube

Does anyone know how much the shipping of a V-Cube collection would be to the UK (in £ please)?

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

but having reverse corner cutting helps. especially for OH

For just the 7x7, I paid arround 10 quid. They sent it via UPS.

But the real problem are the customs fees. More than the shipping itself. (For an entire collection, I wonder if flying to Greece would be cheaper!).

Where can I get transparent stickers for my LL transparent 2x2?? Do they even exist??!?!

And for the unsual size Alpha? THIS ONE The main problem is that the stickers shape are not always a square... and they have different sizes too.

Thanks in advance!

How much were they?

Methane Spirits. Rip stickers off normally then dab he sticky residue on the cube with methane spirits

My 3x3 breakdown is
cross 2-3
f2l 8-10
oll 2-5 (2look)
pll 2-3 (1look)
average
18 seconds
What should i improve on first

 

[Ltsurge]

This is comming from a 1min average guy so if you care to listen...
your f2l and pll are already fast so work on your oll
its fast but with 1 look imagine how fast you could be without that extra 3-6 moves
could reduce by a second or two...
After that f2l is the way to go... when you see the likes of faz or erik you see they're f2l is deadly fast (like 5-8 s) rather than 8-10s.
again im averaging around a minute so if you don't think my advice is good... DONT FOLLOW IT

 

[EricReese]

Its easy to improve your OLL times by using 1look. But then again, your cross isnt necessarily uber fast

 

[Ltsurge]

ok to my own question
what is the best video on youtube for GENERAL fingerticks?
i.e i already know each individual face but am slow at triggers and general series of moves.

What do you average, what method do u use, what do u know (2 look oll, 1 look oll, f2l agls for diff casses etc) and what are your breakdowns

Text with video. Not on youtube, but still highly useful.

I just did 2 ao12s in a row, both were sub 15 but generally easy crosses. I use 1 look OLL 1 look PLL, i dont use algs for F2L, all intuitive, but I do partial edgte control. I use Fridrich

Cross is so slow for me- 2 seconds
rest of F2L- 9 seconds
OLL- 2 seconds
PLL- 2 seconds- LL is around 5 seconds because recognition etc.

Totals around 16 seconds, which is what I actually "average"

-edit: all of this is relative, sometimes its faster cross faster f2l etc, it depends on scrambles and how well i lookahead, I dont really practice 3x3 but I am going to start doing it more I think
