Hi
I completely left the cubing scene for a number of years (3x3, sub 30 then).
Recently retired and returned to cubing and was pleasantly surprised by the latest magnet/maglev innovation. My last buy was dayan zhanchi.
Thinking of getting rs3m. Just curious:
Since magnets have been around for the last few years, have any cubers found the cubes magnets getting weaker? With the abuse from hundreds, ifnot thousands solves, and exposure to lubes (liquid), I would expect weakening of magnets.
I worked in the train industry (but not involved in the few installed maglev trains and not an engineer)
Some
information online on weakening of magnets
