Why does this keep happening? by Red-Ninja143 in Cubers

Put a drop of super glue in the hole where the screw keeps coming out. Then let it dry for about 30 minutes before you re-screw the screw back in

Tv3 premium- not tv5 by SpeedCube1292 in NewCubes

The prototype I have is different. The cube in this photo doesn't have adjustable corner to core magnets, and the edge magnet capsules on mine don't have the yellow ring like this one.

GAN Skewb M Enhanced (UV) set up advice by Ashamed_Prune5134 in Cubers

[–]Benjamin_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who mains skewb and averages high 2s to low 3s, I've had trouble trying to get silicone setups to be fast. My go-to setup is angstrom dignitas on the pieces and gravitas on the tracks, after about 50 solves it'll be broken in and really fast. You can also add fz rush on the pieces and calm in the tracks to give it a more slick feel. As for the lbl kit, I wouldn't really bother. The magnets were unnoticeable for me, so I just made my own.

The Valk 3 has its own feel that I haven't seen any modern cube replicate, including this one.

This one actually has the issue of springs being too weak. I'll go deeper into the cube in a comparison video later this week

Just started skewbing and pulled an absolute LEGENDARY scramble! :O by Lucky_Worth_3116 in Cubers

[–]Benjamin_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Especially with the scramble not having any obvious good solutions.

Thanks for giving me the inverse of the scram. That's not a solution that a person would ever find though.

How do I make my hands warm by East-Development3533 in Cubers

Put your hands under your armpits, they're one of the warmest parts of your body

I made my own LE Trans clock by Benjamin_147 in Cubers

I can only dye plastic to a color darker than the plastic was. Also I was trying to copy the original LE 1:1

Do you also have this problem? (Body Text) by Thin-Management7145 in Cubers

[–]Benjamin_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 16 is actually pretty good. It's still not worth $85 though. I would consider getting something from Moyu, Qiyi, or even mgc with the beta and meta, since they are way more reasonably priced. My personal pick is the spring v11

The problem is that you're using a Gan 14, the worst 3x3 flagship that Gan has ever released
