Also, you can message me if you just want to buy the 3D printed parts already assembled.
Hope this video helped. Sorry that the audio quality isn't good.
Certified hood classic 🔥
why do i feel like uncontrollably laughing now
If my file is the same on each side, can I still sand the edges?
yes
If you were to compare a normal core magnetic meilong to the core magnetic aofu, which one would be better
i would say they are about the same, but its all personal preference
Good to know, I think I will prefer the meilong cause the size and I do get tired practicing with my current main, the mag core aofu
this is a great video thanks!
Shouldn't you place the washer on the other end of the spring in order not to wear the plastic? Now it is between the spring and the screw head so it does not contribute to anything.
it reduces wear on the center piece from the screw head. Normal washers don’t do much for the longevity of the cube if you lube the core
@@EthanChoIs the center piece sandwiched between the spring and the screw head? If yes, I would place washers on bothe sides of the center piece really.
@johnnytifosi no, the center piece that is directly underneath the screw head. The plastic washer basically extends the surface area and is made out of a softer material
@johnnytifosi also putting washers under the spring would make the springs feel very rigid
Does anyone know of some washers that fit? I don't have a 3D printer
i heard that yuhu washers work but havent tested that myself
@@EthanCho they are perfect from a yuhu v2m, thank you!
@ just an update: I love this cube. Took a while to do it all but totally worth it. thanks for the guide!
I have an Aofu but I think this would be a fun project and a great introduction to puzzle modding so I'll buy a meilong and Florian, dorito and add core magnets to it. Also I'll get a Hong and dorito mod it.
Is the picube core magnetic meilong 7x7 the best Cube? I want to order one
theirs will still have problems with the centers breaking, but other than that the cube is solid from what ive heard
@EthanCho how much is your custom made weilong?
currently its 70 dollars for us shipping
@EthanCho how much is it for hungary shipping?
you can see what shipping comes out to here www.ebay.com/itm/315547461657?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=j38HxRxAScG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=j38HxRxAScG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
For the dorito mod, does it have to be a triangle?
it doesnt have to be but its the easiest shape to cut quickly
I'm going to do these as I like this cube a lot. would the LBL Designs core mag kit work as well?
yeah it would, but i wouldnt recommend it because the magnet strength is very weak
@@EthanCho glad I asked, thank you I'll go with the picube one :D
During reassembly you can tape the finished corner sections together to stop pieces from falling out
you can do that, but generally for 7x7 it wont fall apart once an entire corner is assembled as long as youre somewhat careful
Can you use a fine sandpaper and rough sandpaper for Florian modding the edges?
yeah just be careful with rough sandpaper because it can be too aggressive
What magnet strengths would you suggest for the magnetic core?
i like n50, but n42 might be better if you prefer weaker magnets
I'm a fan of stronger magnets just wanted to be sure about this cause I'm on my second meilong v2 cause the first one used seemed to make them waaaay too strong but I also wasn't using your stl file. Saw your video comparing the spark v2 to your meilong and I'd rather just make my meilong better at that point. Thank you!
What is the reason for cutting the triangle?
it reduces friction/weight and makes the turning feel faster
is dorito mod comp legal? i assume yes because it only shows the inside of the piece you can already see?
edit: also, how big should the dorito cutouts be? Just as big as possible or should you keep it moderate?
all the mods are comp legal
probably gonna buy one at nac
You better
sleeby alessandro 💀
which mods are worth to do on an aofu/aoshi?
pretty much just core magnets, and maybe dorito if you think the aofu is too slow. The aofu and aoshi have much less fewer compared to the meilong 7.
Is the cube better than mgc without thia mod?
yeah its comparable to the aofu stock, which is already better than the mgc
what about lube with dorito mod?
just dont lube that far out on the pieces. Usually if you lube that part of the piece not dorito modded, it just ends up getting on your hands and drying out from the cube
Would the Dorito mod improve a WRM 7x7?
its not really worth it imo, but if yours is slow then maybe
@@EthanChoI was more thinking it would help make it lighter. Thanks for the response
Does Dorito modding work on 4x4 as well?
you need to do it differently since both sides of the piece has a magnet in it, so you cant cut the plastic. Look up “lai s cube” channel, as im pretty sure he has a video/community post about it
MFW the magnets i have are 3x1 and 3x2 so i have to either edit the model or buy new magnets:
(im just gonna edit the model, slightly weaker core magnets is fine)
if you make the corner magnet slot more shallow, you can have it so the magnets are closer together and have a similar effect
Now I will get sub 1:35 mo3
mark park?
@@EthanCho pax mark
pax mark spotted
This mod is very invasive, I would make sure to smooth out the cuts
dorito mod? It doesnt really matter if uou use something that makes clean cuts
@EthanCho yeah. Would a circular cut be better? I think so because it's more area and no sharp cuts
it might be in theory, but in practice it doesnt make a difference, but triangle is easier to do quickly
@@EthanCho thank you
Now I will eb able to get sub 4:10.4 :cenis:
never4:10.4
I hope you know that you are my blind letter pair for QO
