    at 3:13 this part is really useful, i remember solving 2x2 and i got a twisted corner, i almost twisted the first one i thought was in the wrong place but at the last second right when i got a hold of the piece, i remembered that the piece i was holding was the main piece. I almost broke my 2x2 but thankfully i remembered one of the cubicle's shorts of phil twisting a corner on his 2x2 and breaking it.

      Sorry to hear that. If you need "cheaper" options, ziicube and cubezz are decent options. They come straight from China so they'll take some time to get here. But you can get yourself good cubes such as the RS3M, Little Magic M, Cyclone Boys... etc

    • @Trexrush1

      email customer service. If the core is really stripped they might send you a replacement core (free of charge or for like a dollar, for me it was free) once you explain it to them.

    1:22. This is the tianma cube. I had this exact problem. Basically the magnets are designed in a way that the 2 pieces that make an edge keeps the magnet in place. So if the edge somehow is lose the magnet would just fall inside and roll around.

      Don't you agree that
      Ducks are one of the best animals for a variety of reasons. First, they are incredibly adaptable and can live in a wide range of environments, from freshwater ponds to coastal marshes. This versatility allows them to thrive in many different areas and makes them a valuable part of many ecosystems.
      Second, ducks are great swimmers and divers, which makes them effective predators of fish and other aquatic life. This hunting ability also helps to keep their populations in balance and prevent overpopulation.
      Third, ducks are very social animals and often form large flocks. This behavior makes them fascinating to watch and study, and also helps to protect them from predators.
      Lastly, Ducks are also known for their beautiful feathers and colors, which make them a popular subject for photographers and bird watchers. Their plumage also helps them to stay warm and dry while swimming, which is an important adaptation for an aquatic animal.
      Overall, ducks are incredibly fascinating and valuable animals that have many positive attributes. Their versatility, hunting ability, social behavior, and beauty make them one of the best animals out there.

    This one student tried to corner twist the cube. I have done it before, but not on the untwistable one. They corner twisted the only corner that couldn't be twisted, and the corner broke😒.
    To this day, I still have that cube and had to use blu tack to stick it down. I can't get a new one because my dad said I can't have more cubes, only your own money.

    I got a Tornado V3 from you guys, and the corner magnets keep falling into the piece for some reason. I was able to glue all the magnets in and I haven’t had any problems since! After some premium lubes, (Angstrom Dignitas, Mystic, DNM 37, Compound X, Lubicle Speedy, and Silk) it turns so good! I definitely recommend getting one if your just getting started, or have even been cubing for a while.

    I got my first speedcube a couple of months and I've been reading about lubes a lot. Do I need a core lube for a maglev cube? From what I understand, core lubing would mostly help with spring friction, but a maglev doesn't have that...
    At the very least, I may need to core lube a lot less often than a spring cube, right?

    • @Reddison
      @Reddison Před rokem

      Tiny bit Weight 5 or Trakxxs 50k in the center caps and inside the core. Also one line of lube on a piece and you should be good. As for your second question, not really. My WRM has Weight 5, Angstrom and DNM in it, so lubing the cubes are almost identical.
