3x3x3 With Feet

2015-06-06T18:38:51Z

Hershnep:

'''Parts of the feet to use'''

Basically you want to try to use your big toe to turn each individual layer needed while trying to hold down the other two layers with your other foot.
By knowing how much pressure is needed to hold down the other two layers with your other foot, it will take practice.

Also you could try to turn the top layer of the cube with your big toe while holding the bottom two layers with your other foot. It might work for you or not.

Try to solve the cube with the least amount of moves, so I would suggest using the Petrus Method or another method that uses the least amount of moves.

'''Maru'' is a taiwanese puzzle manufacturer.

== Products ==

=== 2x2x2 Cube ===
Contain a screw-spring structure similar to the Lanlan 2x2 which improves corner cutting greatly. However, they are said not to turn as well as a well broken in [[Eastsheen 2x2x2]]. The Maru turns extremly well though and is unlikely to pop. Very high quality cube.

|}

=== 3x3x3 Cube ===
Also called the 'Maru DIY'. Comes in a range of colours, and is reported to have smooth turning. Out of the box, this cube seems to be nothing special, but once lubed with the special Maru lubricant, it will quickly become an amazing speedcube.

Another newer [[3x3]] of theirs, the [[Maru]] nano cube released in early 2015, is currently the smallest mass produced 3x3 on the market, measuring 15mm (1.5 cm) across on all sides. This cube is meant to be a collectors item and not a [[speedcube]].

 Need To Break In: No
 Feel: Catchy, Slow

=== 4x4x4 Cube===
Known for its amazing corner cutting this Maru 4x4 is rarely found in common online stores. It has a screw/spring structure like all maru cubes and it is superior at corner cutting. It outperformes most 4x4 today such as the rubiks brand, eastsheen and possibly the merfferts brand from people's opinion. It has minimal pops and lockups but disassembly is not recommended because the assembly of this item can be very tedious.

4x4 stand

A Vial of maru lubricant

=== Mini 3x3x3 ===
A very small cube measuring 30mm each side. It is reported by many to be too small for speedcubing, but may suit cubers with very small hands. Small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket, making it ideal as a travel cube. The cube its self is fairly good quality considering its size, with smooth turning and good resistance to pops.

UWR

2015-06-06T18:07:43Z

Hershnep:

'''UWR''' is an abbreviation for Unofficial World Record.

Before [[World Championship 2003]] and the formation of the [[WCA]], [[speedcubing.com]]'s unofficial world record lists were considered the most important record list. Several unofficial record lists are still maintained for non-official events held at official competitions.

You may also hear use of this term for [[WCA]] events. When it is used, it is meant to signify that a World Record has been broken outside of a [[WCA]] competition.
