I Just Got My First Speedcube... Now What?

So you just got a new puzzle. You most likely have questions about how to maintain it well and what to do if something is wrong. What if your puzzle comes damaged or broken? How do I set up the puzzle to feel the way I want it to? What are the best practices for keeping my puzzles feeling fresh and clean for a long time? We made this video to answer all sorts of questions like these.

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.

I got my first speedcube 4 months ago so this is helpful. Also I viewed my cube and didn't realize the cube had a stripped core so the cube auto adjusts. Sadly my dad said I couldn't get another thing from the cubicle

I've been cubing for 8 years and this is quite helpful 😂I've never been confident about what I'm doing with cube maintenance (usually nothing) so I'll definitely try out your technique! So thanks guys

bonus tip: don't step on pyraminx

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.

My 2x2 I got 4 months ago was great. It was a qiyi ms and loved solving it
At one point, I bought it to my school and impressed ppl as expected.

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 just got my first sped cube this year. ( from the cubicle of course ) thanks you guys have quality cubes.

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 literally just got back into cubing after many years so its nice to have this video

[Adeline]

I just got a cheap basic to see if i even like it.
I hope i do!!

3:27 I tried doing that once because I didn't know it will break. Luckily one of the edge pieces fall out and no plastic broke!

Y’all should make a Patrick Ponce signature cube.

HI phill< fun seeing you at the store yesterday day all of the cubes work perfectly😊

[PleaseSteamDeck]

I got my new GAN 13 just 2 days ago and this is really really helpful

[curiousNic]

I usually keep my cube in a box or a bag but I find a hair in my cube *every* *single* *time* when taking it apart to clean ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[filiphengeveld]

realy wished i saw this video before i tried to force a lockup on 2x2 ( i broke the stem of the locked corner). luckely I was able to glue it back and it has worked perfectly fine for the past 4 months or so

[CubeKing]

I think @Kewbix should get his own Cube.

[testM]

I am sad you didn’t upload this 3:13 before It happens on my Gan 251 M leap 😢

[kevinhouck-dnr]

All of you guys should do 3x3 world record scrambles and see who gets the fastest time

It’s funny about the timing this came out because my friend ordered me a tv3 about a month ago and put the wrong address + the statement about Yj having polished puzzles makes me laugh because I got my mgc squan with the red green yellow corner missing magnets
