X Man Tornado V3 loosening

[Cubing Coukie]

I very recently got the Tornado V3, and it started to loosen on its own. I've heard this is a very common problem, and you apparently must not touch the screws, so I was wondering if there was a fix.

Thanks in advance !

If the screw hole in the core is stripped, try cutting a small piece of a plastic grocery bag, and wrapping it around the screw. This should add just enough tightness around the screw to prevent loosening. Grocery bags are actually quite thin and strong.

I learned this from SpeedCubeReview:

The screw used is tiny and apparently causing this problem after it has been loosened and tightened repeatedly. I heard a new design is coming to get rid of the screw altogether. At least for the Pioneer model, there is a video showing the new maglev assembly without using any screws.

i dont know why but there seems to be "common" problems on the tornado v3 like cracked core magnets, screw problems and adjustment handles breaking. yet none of these problems has happened to mine
