Yoo can't Put, a 3x3 core into a 4x4. It's just different construction and it will not fit.

i think he means just the white part of the core.
like just trading out the little white part, not the actual centerpieces.

 

[ShadowCuber]

Okay guys, I cleaned out my Zhanchi and the piece, not the core though, but my cube now feels alot faster, was it because I must of used to much lube? At the moment I am using izo lube and have differential oil coming, should I relube the pieces or leave and wait for differential, or just keep it as it is, also I have no torpedos in my zhanchi and on a loose tension.

 

[aznanimedude]

you mean those things are removeable?

in real question

why ish BOCA down i wantz my algorithmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz QQ

Brest to the rescue again, those algs are awesome, thanks.

Is it weird that my n00by friend calls parity errors "Parody"?

if he types it that way...
then yes.

Color scheme trainer?

Im looking for a color scheme trainer of some sort.
I think it would be an useful app/program.
Something that gave you two adjacent squares of a cubie, then you would pick the third color.
Maybe some nifty system so you could get high scores so it would be more motivating to use.

Does anyone know anything like it?
Would anyone be interested in making anything like it? ^^
Otherwise I guess I would have to learn some kind of programming myself <.<

Hum, yeah that's good and all. But it would be better if I couldn't see the whole cube on the screen. : /

So I can switch the core in a SS 4x4? I think I've heard of people doing it with the 7x7.

 

[aznanimedude]

maybe, dunno how much it would help, you'd likely need longer screws since it's a bigger puzzle but not sure since i've never done it

 

[Azkika]

I was planning on using the original screws with the core. Thanks.

I think that would work. Try it

Isn't the core part of the alignment mechanism on 4x4 cubes?

Ya for most of them

U' R' F R F' R U' R' Perform this alg at speed, no rotations.

Critique and correct the way I do this alg.,
U' lft index finger,
R' rt wrist,
F rt index finger,
R wrist,
F' lft index finger
R rt wrist
U' lft MIDDLE finger
R' rt wrist

 

[aznanimedude]

i'd probably if it were me do the F' woth my right thumb and the last U' with my left index

do the F' with your right thumb because your left hand would have to regrip to do the next U' otherwise. it's hard to do that without regripping.

 

[Xishem]

Perform it as:

U' l' U R U' l U' R'

 

[mark49152]

do the F' with your right thumb because your left hand would have to regrip to do the next U' otherwise. it's hard to do that without regripping.

How does your left hand grip? My grip has left thumb on the F face from doing U' and I have to lift it anyway to let F rotate. On my first attempt to turn F' with right thumb, I dropped the cube

V cube 6: 2 mod or not 2 mod

Hi
i have recently purchased a v6 and I quite like it. However I think it could be a lot better with breaking in. How good is a non modded v6 when fully broken in. I am new to cubing and have never done a mod before so I am a bit wooried to say the least about modding. What is the easiest mod to do, that has quite good results? I don't want maintnence mods, just easy mods that help, like sanding down, (what do you actually sand down?). Thanx
