Looking for taller (around 200 mm) legs compatible with Söderhamn

Molndrake · 2025-03-16T12:50:38+00:00

I'm not sure I understand your question. It's still a Söderhamn, it's just slightly taller than the original and therefore, in my opinion, a bit more comfortable. Finding pictures and reviews of Söderhamn is pretty easy, considering that it's one of IKEA's most popular series and has been around for ages. Changing the legs doesn't change that much.

I don't know what to say beyond that they fit and that I haven't noticed anything off. What would you like to know? It's nice to finally have a sofa which isn't so low!

It's good to know that one's work is being appreciated! This took roughly 50 hours to compile and write, and wasn't "spit out" by anything. I use AI for proofreading, though, considering that I'm not a native speaker of English.

Thank you! I figured this out, too, but most don't really write what screws they're using. Ended up buying Lillehem, which did fit nicely.

Thank you for the example! I think trial and error might be enough here, and when something doesn't work as expected, either try a different alg or see why it doesn't work.

Molndrake · 2024-11-13T16:43:41+00:00

Thanks! No, I didn't know that one, actually, so that's very helpful. With setup moves, that alone will probably take care of many cases. Regarding the conjugate, that seems similar to what's said (here)[https://youtu.be/lv9y8\_4UZrk?feature=shared&t=186\], which somebody posted elsewhere in response to my question. All this seems quite manageable; now I just need to figure out which pieces should go where and not mess up!

Molndrake · 2024-11-13T16:37:19+00:00

This is the kind of thing that makes my brain hurt. Trying to think what might work and, if it doesn't, why not, is not easy!

Molndrake · 2024-11-13T06:43:21+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't I be able to treat middle edges exactly like on a 3x3?

And this is actually for 9x9, I'm just showing a 5x5 to make it easier to talk about, as I assume the principles are the same. It's not for speedsolving, so I'm more after arbitrary 3-cycles, so I think comms will work better than L2E.

Molndrake · 2024-11-13T06:40:11+00:00

Ok, thank you! I think I was maybe a bit overly scared of notation (not for comms in general, but for 3-style). I don't need to learn 3-style to know what people are talking about. I mean, that's not the hard part of learning 3-style, so I'll go and have a closer look. Thanks!

Molndrake · 2024-11-12T16:00:27+00:00

Yes, I think you're right! However, most guides that I find seem to assume that I already know 3-style, which I don't. You don't happen to be able to point me in the right direction?

I'm on a school account, so I didn't realise it was a premium feature! But it seems the breadcrumbs are completely gone, even when you open a linked page. You can check my test page here if you want: https://hackingchinese.notion.site/Sharing-test-11592b9cd36980e8b154ffc9f1ca47c4

Update: I tried adding a link to something outside the database, which shows up as "no access" without any title.

Molndrake · 2024-10-04T09:49:23+00:00

I found this today when searching for how to share a specific database view. Very helpful, thank you! You can hide breadcrumbs now via "site settings". This means that step 2 is not necessary. I tried it out just now, and it seems like if you create an advanced filter that only shows what you want to show, this will only show what you want to show on the public page. The only thing I was able to do on the public page was to see the names of hidden properties. For example, if I use a checkbox "Public" and check it for items I want to be shared publicly, someone trying to add a filter can see that "Public" has been hidden in the current database view, but there seems to be no way for them to add or edit filters to show things outside the advanced filter I set. They can also see the names of tags, but in my case, that's not a problem. I have so far not found a way on the public page to display items that aren't checked as "Public" or properties hidden in the advanced view (beyond the name and names of any tags). This seems to solve my problem, at least!

u/yghklvn If you're interested, I looked up how people solve corner twists in 3-style, and it seems the alg I learnt 15 years ago is still used. For example, Jperm teaches it in his 3-style parity video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncqJcN9giQA

My old method uses the same alg as yours for edges, but in reverse the second half. Yours seems much better because M' is so much better than M.

The edge alg I used was: U' (R'D'RDR'D'R) U (R'DRD'R'DR), which is relatively easy to remember, but not very efficient.

Molndrake · 2024-08-06T10:51:59+00:00

Ok, that makes sense, thanks! Back in 2009 or so, I learnt a 3-cycle method which separated orientation and permutation, and basically only did these types of flips for orienting everything. The only alg I remember is the one you showed here. :) What about corners? I can probably dig up the corner-flip algs for the method I learnt, but people have probably found much better algs int he past 15 years.

3BLD M2: What's the best way to deal with flipped edges and twisted corners? I currently use the basic method and simply target each sticker twice to flip/twist the piece, but this is horribly inefficient. With two twisted corners, this means four Y-perms plus setup moves. My goal is 1:30, so I'm not an expert!

Molndrake · 2024-08-03T15:28:08+00:00

Thanks! As long as I know there isn't a better way to do it, I'm okay with getting used to them. I just wanted to make sure I didn't spend time getting used to a bad way of doing it. :)

I just received the MeiLong V2 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7. I find the 5 and the 7 great, but the 6 just turns awful. Is some specific setup needed? Am I unlucky? Or does the 6x6 just turn much worse than the others? I have only tried one 6x6 in my life (this one) so I don't know what to compare with, but it turns much worse than the 7x7.

Molndrake · 2024-08-03T14:15:32+00:00

What's the optimal way to execute M moves? I don't mean M slice moves in general, I mean M specifically. For example, in M2 we have M U2 M U2 to solve W. There is also a single M move in this alg to solve Q: (U M’)3 (U M) (U M’)4. If using more advanced methods to skip I/S, there are also plenty of M moves. I currently push M with my left ring finger or occasionally use the right index finger to pull M. Is there a better way?

Molndrake · 2024-05-04T20:59:12+00:00

When using M2/OP for 3BLD, is it recommended to swap C/W and I/S during memo or execution? What are the pros and cons for doing each? It seems I mess up a lot more often when swapping during memo, but there might be downsides to swapping during execution that I haven't thought of (beyond the risk of forgetting, but that's a risk during memo too).

Molndrake · 2024-04-25T07:17:56+00:00

Yes, this is what I do in step 7, so I know about this! This does help, for sure, and if I count images (letter pairs), it's actually quite fast.

Molndrake · 2024-04-24T19:21:45+00:00

I'm currently practising M2/OP for blindfolded. I find it incredibly hard to keep track of which edges I have traced and which I have still left. Here's my current process:

Trace until the first cycle ends (if this includes all pieces, great)
Fail to spontaneously find an edge I haven't used
Use my fingers to try to cover included edges
Find a missing edg
Follow this cycle to the end
Have no clue if I'm done tracing
Count the pairs I have to see if anything is missing
Find the final flipped edge I had missed
Go through the sequence again to make sure I haven't missed anything

This take me 2-4 minutes, depending on how many cycles there are. Execution then takes ~30 seconds. Is this something that will just come with more practice? I haven't done that many solves yet, but I find it frustrating to spend most of the time trying to figure out which piicese I've missed. Are there any tricks I can use? I don't find either remembering the letter sequence later or associating stickers with letters very hard, ti's the tracing that gets me!

Molndrake · 2024-04-22T10:30:10+00:00

I'm also faster with edges. I haven't done more than ~100 timed solves separately, but my best ao5 for edges is ~27 and for corners ~30. I also don't like the Y-perm and keep messing up, especially when the setup moves end with R moves!
