This cube is actually amazing, i tried customising it based on your recommendations but had to make do with the lube, because id din’t have the same lube as you. It instantly replaced my gan 356m My rs3m’s setup is: - 2 - 3 drops dnm 37 - 2 drops of gan lube, or any other silicone lube - 1 and a half 360 degree turn on screw to loosen tensions - 3 clicks on spring tension - added n40 magnets in the edges (no glue needed) - 2 drops of gan lube around the screw to stop spring noise

I like slower cubes so what i did is to tighten the cube a little bit to where it corner cuts efforlessly but put the spring compression to the max so I have a nice stable cube that is the right speed for me but has amazing corner cutting. I just put 2 drops of M-Lube (bc that's all I have) and that's how I setup my cube.

[@RofICopters]

pro tip about washers!! the washers have a rough and smooth side from the manufacturing process. If the springs are making a lot of noise, they're against the rough side. Flip the washer over and presto! no more spring noise.

I dont know hot to thank a god like you

[@theredmoose]

Great tip! Smooth side goes up.

[@RofICopters]

😁

[@theredmoose]

@@RofICopters what would happen if you used some of the gravitos (SP?) on the washer instead of the black whatchamacallit in the video? Wouldn't it just let the spring slide a little and thus not causing the spring sound?

[@RofICopters]

They're ingredients are fundamentally different. Each has their own intended application. lubricating metal to metal surfaces isn't the same as plastic to plastic. It might get rid of the spring sound, but at a cost. The sound comes from the rough surface vibrating the spring enough to make sound. If you put in enough non-metallic lube to stop the sound, it could just gum up the workings. OR it'll just be a temporary fix as the lube goes away. turning over the washer without any lube at all will get rid of the spring sound.

[@WillShattuck]

Thank you for this video. I just received my first speed cube. The rs3m 2020. Thanks!!!!

[@xdragon2k]

I had RS3M 2020 for the longest time and I also bought the extra magnets. However, I was too lazy to install the magnets and don't want too strong of a magnet. This is the reason that I didn't like my RS3M 2020 over MeiLong 3M. Reason being that RS3M 2020 is a heavy cube. It requires those extra magnets. I finally installed the magnet after months. That makes the biggest difference. It's very stable now and I'm going to make it my main. Lesson learned: those extra magnets are required for this to be S-Tier cube. No, the extra magnets are not making it too strong.

[@somerandomperson5314]

hello? r u there? can u answer plz

[@nexus2223]

Use weight 5 in core and drop 2 drops of lunar on the middle edge where you should turn 45° before that. Then take the upper layer, lift it up with your hand slightly above the edge piece and then scramble. If you can buy both weight 5 and a lunar (or better dnm 37) follow this. If not buy a weight 3 silicon based tube and and it to both the core and the center piece. My rs3m is set up with weight 3 on both core and pieces. It works perfect it's been months and I just lube 2 times.

[@hanoman78]

What does the spring compression do? Whats the difference between clicks?

[@Usha_Prasanna]

Spring compression is is just how much the springs are pressed. A click is just a turn of the dual adjustment system.

[@hanoman78]

@@Usha_Prasanna more clicks more pressed or more loose?

[@jurel6982]

whats the difference between tensioning and compression?

[@socringe2217]

I think for rubiks cubes the compression is the amount of pressure the spring is on. While tension is the screw depth of the screw so the pieces are either tight or loose

Generally I would still use calvin's high viscosity as my default for most of my cubes, but my Meilong 4M, Aoshi GTSM and MF8 M all use dignitas+gravitas+DMN, and they are definitely my 4, 6 and 8 mains.

I havent seen any of your solves, but what mostly works is: - Keep working on your cross to f2l transision - work on cross+1 try to find your first pair while inspecting and when you start solving try looking at the second pair (Thats damn hard, but practice makes perfect!) - work on f2l lookahead - work on f2l efficiency You can train that while doing slow/untimed solves - work on your algorithms and perfect them to a point where you can just spam TPS on LL If your algs sucks, try switching to better ones (If you don't know full PLL, learn it) And the best tip ever: - record your solves! Do a avg5, and analyse the solves in slomo You will find your weaknesses and then you gotta work on them! That should bring you sub 12 fairly fast =)

What happens when you adjust the tensioning with several clicks counter clockwise? Does the rotational speed slow down?

You can’t turn it counter-clockwise. The spring system won’t allow that.

[@arnelpijuan7618]

WHP The turn moves counter clockwise.

[@whp3036]

Arnel Pijuan Ohhh yea I’m sorry I got clockwise and counter-clockwise mixed up lmao

[@whp3036]

Anyways back to your question I think what the turn counter thing does is that it is the same as using a screwdriver (lowest = very loose, highest = very stable) but it doesn’t actually make the cube looser, it just feels looser. So basically use the screw to make the cube tight or loose, then use the spring system to adjust the feeling of the cube. this is just what I think it is I’m not 100% sure just go watch a video about this for more accurate answer
