V-Cube 5 advice / help / improve thread

[Deleted member 2864]

maybe u could develope your own core using a 3d printer thingy... prob not worth it though...

If you think your v-5 is bad, break it in for a few weeks and it will be alot better, and keep getting better as you use it.

If you think your v-5 is bad, you are wrong.

I think it'd be kind of cool to have the only screw-spring V-5. I'll take a look and see if I can come up with a mod.

 

[Unknown.soul]

His V5 could be too loose and he wants to tighten it up.

Already exists. The WR was set with it.

 

[DavidWoner]

How to loosen your V-5: solve, lube.

How to tighten your V-5: buy a new one, trade cores.

I think it'd be kind of cool to have the only adjustable screw-spring V-5.

FTFY.

Erik's v-5 prototype is adjustable?

If that is true i think that the v-cube company would/can make so much more money.

I meant the average WR. whoops.

 

[JTW2007]

Are there specs on the mechanism for that? If those could be mass produced, maybe just as a thing for hard core speedcubers, that would be amazing. Or maybe just a different core that you could switch out?

 

[jcuber]

So Dan's v-5 is adjustable?

Nah, I want to loosen it. I prefer pretty loose cubes. I just got my V5 a few days ago and have only done a few dozen solves on it. I just really want it looser.

Maybe I'll email verdes and see if I can get just some cores + hardware so I can experiment.

 

[jcuber]

They don't sell adjustable cores, just play with it for a few weeks and it will loosen up.

Hey,
I got my V-cube 5 early January of 2009 and I have broke it in and I tried Memyselfandpi's mod, that didn't help. I tried lubing it, didn't work. I even got a friend who is into modding puzzles to help me and after another attempt a Memyselfandpi's mod it still is relatively slow. I am not saying that Memyselpandpi's mod has a flaw I really just don't know what to do. Can you help?

 

[puzzlemaster]

so your complaint that it's slow? how about lubricating it?

 

[Robert-Y]

Just keep solving it again and again and again

If you have a white cube, then it takes a while to get it smooth, I received my cube for Christmas and it still isn't that smooth.

 

[JLarsen]

My V cube black from Christmas is insanely smooth. Just solve it a lot.

 

[joey]

Hm.. Maybe you mean YOU'RE still slow?
