What's the largest cube you've disassembled and (successfully) reassembled

[OldSwiss]

I was on vacation on the beach with some of my older cubes.

After this they were full of sand and salt, so i had to fully clean them so rescue them.
The 3x3 was no problem but I was surprised how many additional parts there are in a 4x4 core and it took me quite some time and nerves to reassemble it.
Fortunately it was magnetic and the pieces held at least a little bit together.

What is the largest cube you've disassembled and (successfully) reassembled?
Do you do that regularry for maintanance or do you just put some more lube in it?

9*9 when it poped, but now one piece is missing

How bad :-(

Are cubes with an odd number easier because they have a classical center cross?

idk just have 5*5 7*7 and 9*9 as big cubes

5x5 fully reassembled, have done 3 or so layers of a 7x7 tho.

I disassembled it for magnetisation, and I spent 7 hours on that. It turns out to be very great that magnets work very well in megaminx and big cubes, and the gigaminx is kind of the mix of that.

Here is how I did it:

Yes! All even layered cubes are built on the next biggest cube and hide some of the pieces on the inside. So the 4x4 is built on a 5x5 with the middle layers being hidden on the inside.

The biggest big cube I disassembled and reassembled was the 5x5. I wasn't trying to do it to keep it clean, but it broke because a piece popped, and when I tried to put it back in (I didn't know how) every piece fell apart. It took me hours to reassemble it, and it was a big pain. Even though I watched tutorials, and my cube was magnetic (which makes it easier to reassemble). I first watched Z3cubing's tutorial, but one of the steps was too difficult for me, so then I went to Cube Solve Hero's video, and in that video, there was a step that was too difficult for me, but luckily I modified his method a bit, and I was able to do it.

I tried to disassemble cubes and now I have 2 huge bins of spare parts…

My biggest cube I disassembled was my 6x6. But it wasn't on purpose, the cubes centerpiece moved to the wrong position and to fix it I had to take it apart and put it back together. I think it took me a total of 2 hours.

I have partially reassembled a 6x6 many times, but only full reassembled a 5x5.

 

[Kaiju_cube]

I had a piece fly out of a 4x4,.. but it kept turning.

So I shrugged.

 

[ProStar]

Only fully assembled a 4x4 but I’ve done some partial reassembly on my 9x9

7x7 is easy to reassemble. Takes some practice, but once you get used to how the centers are affected on the middle layer, then it is easy to do.

I do it regularly, considering my parents won't buy me lube or anything.

I have fixed small pops on my 8*8 but only a 5*5 fully assembled

 

[CatSharked]

For me it's a 3x3. I attempted to disassemble and clean a Pyraminx but I was scared that I would do it wrong. I have not had my 4x4 and 7x7 long enough to need to disassemble and clean them.

I was trying to show my dad how I could fix pops, so I jammed my 5x5 but then I couldn't fix it. I ended up having to take it apart and reassemble it, and it's not magnetic.

assembling big cubes that aren't magnetic is a pain

ye that sounds awful.
