In my Dayan+MF8 4x4 core one of the pieces of the 2x2 is screwed into what seems to be a malfunctioning screw hole in the core, because when I try tightening it, I never feel any resistance, even after the screw is all the way down. And as a consequence of this, after 1 or 2 solves, the screw will automatically loosen itself, causing the outer layers to be extremely clicky, and extremely slow. So is there a way to fix this issue, or do I need to buy a new cube?
 
Hi. I recently got a GuHong DIY kit. When I put it together, it was really terrible. This is my first DIY cube, and I am not sure what I have done wrong. At first I though it was just that it needed lubing, but I soon realized that it was not. It feels really tight, but the tensions are really loose (it pops heaps, 10 times more than my friends assembled GuHong). It is really strange. Also, when I turn a face, the springs make this strange creaking noise. It is this noise that has led me to believe that I have put pieces into the core wrong. The kit came with 12 washers, 6 springs and 6 screws. So I assumed that inside the centre piece, you would insert a washer, then put the springs in, then another washer, and finally the screw, which would go through into the core. I have lubed in with some lubix and it is still bad (well, bad compared to my friends GuHongs and my ZhanChi, still wonderful compared to a store bought). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Cfop is popular because f2l is able to be learned intuitively because your goal is to preserve the cross.

Though we learn algorithms from intuition its not different from executing algorithmic f2l.


The real gain from intuition is the block building skills used in empty slotting(all angles)
Good luck learning the endless algorithms of pure intuition!!


Feel free to disagree.

Google a tutorial. But I thinkit goes core then spring then screw. My guhong has no washer but it was assembled.

1. What does this have to do with anything? I can't find a question that's related, and your post isn't even a question.

2. The majority of LL algorithms in CFOP were found using computers, from what I gather. F2L it really depends on the person.

3. Block-building in CFOP is nigh non-existent. Try FreeOP, Petrus, Roux, or Heise if you want that.

4. CFOP is one of the most algorithm-intensive methods out there, and saying "it can be learned intuitively because you need to preserve the cross" is a poor justifier over other methods, where you still preserve certain components when you get to another step (first block for Roux, etc.).

5. CFOP is popular because it's one of the easiest methods to learn, especially from LBL, it's old, it's strengths have been exploited, and it's very systematic in comparison to other methods. It's also true that a certain amount of people get very, very good times with it, which only attract more people, and once you get really fast at one method, people don't tend to switch.

6. In case you can't tell, I heavily disagree with your post.

Umm... Jorghi, was that a question?

Just go away; why do you continuously start pointless debates about CFOP v Roux/ other methods etc?

Yes those were two questions for you.
 
at the moment, im getting 1.30 min solves, with a new cube (dayan zhanchi) will my cube times go less? atm I have a diansheng, locks up quite a lot and sometimes overturns, cant really corner cut
