Aofu and Aoshi WRM have been the best cubes for at least 2 years now, although I think the Meilong 7 v2M challenges the Aofu to the position. (It's not as good out of the box, but the max potential of a broken-in and properly set up Meilong is possibly equal or better than an Aofu, due to the cube being lighter, faster and slightly smaller, but not having the stability issues of the Meilong 6)

With the thousands of Moyu 3x3 releases out there I wouldn't actually hope for another one to come out so soon. But the Weilong v10 is already an Aolong successor in my book. It has the Aolong mechanism cuts, and I think the designer has reasons to trim off the second anchor. I just added it back for the bragging right.

@@laiscube Ah well... good work anyway!

Qiyi but you have to self magnetize it. Even then I still think the Diansheng is slightly better. You can watch the 8x8/9x9 part of my 2024 mains video (uploaded near then end of 2023)

Ok thank you

A 3d printed cube that I designed based on what an "Aolong GTS" would have looked like if it existed

personally I prefer the Aoshi WRM i enjoy the Meilong V2M but it is MUCH less stable and the middle slice magnet strength is WAY more pronounced/too strong xompared to other inner layer alices than on the WRM... (at least on my cubes here haha)

@@cubestur8157 I found that my comp nerves are relatively worse in the morning and I end up preferring the more stable cube, while in the later parts afternoon when the comp drags on (and more so if I'm staffing) I start getting more tired I start preferring the cube that takes less effort to turn. Kind of experienced this with the Aochuang WRM and Valk before getting the Hong, where my Valk was unmodded and faster (naturally a rock-solid cube that I decided against core-magnetizing), while my Aochuang had been core-magnetized with rods like a Gan 12 and was comparably stable while offering better corner cutting and allignment, so the Aochuang became the a.m cube while the Valk became the p.m. cube. The Meilong 6 seems better than the Aoshi in speed and size, but the stability issues kind of prevented a total takeover like the Meilong 7 did to the Aofu. (rectified the stability a bit with the core magnets and Angstrom setup) I think the Aoshi adds up to be the better cube overall, the Meilong should have come with slightly stronger springs. Somehow on my Meilong 6 the 2nd and 3rd layers feel the same while the outer is the weakest, which in my opinion is the perfect combo

It allows the corner to be 1mm bigger, which sounds small, but adds up when considerieng 3 dimensions. If you look at certain cubes like the Diansheng Solar S5, MGC 7x7, and the original video of my Maglev 5x5, the corner bases are quite substantially bigger. And if you compare the Yuexiao and Meiying 3x3s (these two are very similar in mech, but the Yuexiao is stalkless), the Yuexiao is a lot more stable.

I could have spun it with more force but with ther 4th layer removed there's nothing preventing the 3rd layer pieces from flying off. Still there's a great deal of it due to the inertia or centrifugal force carrying on the rotation, and is not purely the shear frictionlessness of the Maglev.

Grind down the corner

​@@oxfordhuang6634 grind the corner or the pieces of corner?

There are plenty of old Florian mod tutorials on CZcams, but I would recommend Cyoubx's Shengshou 4x4 one. Same concept, but in a modern cube you have one extra part to mod (the outer anchor of the double anchored corner). This part didn't exist in the old cubes that were all single-anchored. You can refer to my 'how to design a 4x4 cube episode 4' if you are not sure what part of the cube this is. In that video I Florian-modded a cube digitally.

I UV coated the Meilong 6

@@laiscube how? And how do you remove the logo.

It's not my Gan 5, I didn't remove the logo. But on another cube (Qiyi M pro) I sanded the logo away with fine sandpaper.

Good question

My Hong corner cutting is a bit worse, probably because it's spring-compressed and tensioned tighter. But it's better that way and this amount of corner cutting isn't really necessary.

​​​@@laiscubehow many wrist turn did you do to tension the spring of Hong? I would like to try it

I just tensioned my Hong visually and by feel. The difference is in the compression. The springs are default 13mm. I initially compressed them to 12mm which made the cube unstable and ended up stretching them back to 12.5mm which turned out to be the happy middle-ground.

Sponsored by 1-time-off cube loans, not by contract. It's actually very hard to be on an official contract nowadays because there are a lot of fast kids that would out-compete the old people. I used to have a discount code 'S44CUBES' which was my channel name in 2015, but the code no longer exists. I am planning to be a coach to train future kids if I have the time and they have the demand.

the uv version also gives me that feeling of wanting to compete with the vin but falling completely flat

@@laiscube Wow that's cool, I was wondering if you spoke Cantonese or Mandarin, 我会说小汉语。

For the 6x6 it's a bit more debatable, because if you don't like the speed of the Aoshi and Meilong, the MGC is still viable. For the 7x7, the Meilong pretty much destroys the MGC

@@laiscube I’m really surprised that even though the 7x7 is amazing there’s basically no other videos giving it publicity. I think this is super awesome.
