[@zeeerux]

thanks for the tutorial! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to set up my squan to my likings, but It really turned out perfect!

[@NKcubing]

Hello! thank you for the great tutorial! I already knew how to switch edges because I unboxed with a friend of mine his sq-1, but I didnt knew how to swith corners. Thank you for great video!

[@borislont6918]

You can also switch black and white by switching the equator caps and solving the puzzle

[@winnter5141]

what is an equator cap

[@dyl.scooters]

How do I switch them

[@josianthelion6918]

You can take off the caps on the side of the cube where the screw system is and switch their places you might have to flip the caps around to get them in but once they are in you can flip the top and bottom colors of the cube

[@dyl.scooters]

@@josianthelion6918 I have tried that but black is still on the bottom

[@ashelcuffaro]

Great video! Ordered my square 1 this morning!

Will cubicle mystic go along well with this cube??

[@fc3x336]

have you tried out a non mag ylm squan, and if so is this a direct upgrade from it?

[@rudranshbisht2985]

Ofc yes

[@sloth9093]

This is a direct upgrade from volt v2 which is a direct upgrade from ylm m

[@parthchhugani8915]

Hi Cube master I just bought the mgc sqaure-1 and did your set up it's the best set up I have ever tried thanks for that but I there is a problem that it strips a lot so can u give some suggestion for stopping the striping issue?

[@daefin9993]

lube the screw

[@vomancuber6685]

For me the top and bottom layers are too slow because for some reason they catch a lot on the equator

[@actuallyD1VN]

have you fixed it and if yes how? my top and bottom layers are super slow but i dont seem to find the problem

[@MylesCubes]

@@actuallyD1VNif you still haven't found the answer you can do a bunch of sponges and learn it

[@littlebigcubing6062]

I don’t know if anyone else encountered this, but when removing yellow the piece connecting the yellow to the side color broke off into the side piece, I can’t get it out

[@daefin9993]

this happened to one of my edges too. just break the coresponding piece on the black cap and put it in. it wont come out that easily even without it

[@gumballstudios9232]

Thanks so much I did mine on just a yuxin m and it worked out great but I am hoping to gat an mgc

[@Square-one123]

Yo this is kinda late but have you tried fz calm or rush on the mgc? If so how did it turn out?

[@frogcubes]

hey, Yeah, fz calm on mgc square 1 is nice

[@kaz8297]

Great vid. I wanted to see this vid to see how to switch the caps, since I won’t be setting up my mgc, I decided to get a premium set up one. Also, unrelated question, should I get the mystic wrm or the regular 11m duo. Idk which one I like more, as my only other cubes is an old valk m (that I set up, to my knowledge, pretty well) and an rs3m. I like both equally.

[@CubeMasterYT]

I never tried the 11M but the Mystic WRM is pretty good. But I use a budget cube over that one so I'm not really sure which to recommend lol. Maybe check out some reviews or stick with a cheaper cube :)

My square ones things that connect the caps broke so im stuck with half yellow half black

[@Trstxn]

ty i didnt know how to tighten my square 1 it got super loose

[@DownUnderCuber]

Great video thank you, I just ordered mine half hour ago, looking forward to it.

[@qwerbycubing]

thanks for the tutorial! however my squan popped one day and when i tried to fix it the screw just stopped turning. i think its because the blue piece isnt turning with the screw. i cant tighten it and i have to have very low tps to solve now, and i really dont want to buy another one. 😕 have any ideas to fix this?

[@jonahf1181]

I tried to push the edge of exactly like you said, and the post connecting the halves immediately snapped. Thanks a lot.

[@nicholashurtado3170]

Help!! I was taking off the yellow center caps to put on the black ones and while I was taking them out the piece that connects both center caps broke and now is stuck inside the place it goes!! What do I do to take it out??

[@suryothepleb6907]

hehe, same happened to me. just use a needle and try to destroy the pice that is stuck inside and try to get the most of it out. eventually i got enough out to put the black piece on. Good luck!

[@actuallyD1VN]

I dont know if anyone else has this problem but my top and bottom layers are so slow and really hard to turn. I tried wiping off the lube and putting differrent lube in and loosening the screw but those dont work

[@S1neWav_]

thanks man very helpful

[@NinjaCubed]

Thanks! :D

[@fabianbrowa8179]

Could u make a sub 15 and sub 10 guide for squan?

[@kaz8297]

I think he already did for sub 10

[@Jay-sd9ye]

I'm going to add magnets to top and bottom layers. Mine just spins too easy. I miss aline so much. I enjoy the cube, those top and bottom layers spin to much

[@Pandemos]

"Feels like it's going to break the cube..." breaks the cube. It will sometimes pop the one tiny insert tab piece, making it really likely to fall apart. Take it apart first.

[@Shadowspeed10]

i tried to do the caps but i broke the piece :(

Hey cube master! What can I do with Angstrom dignitas, Angstrom gravitas, DNM-37, comet, and Traxxas 50k? (Since those are the only lubes I have

[@bigoofersrock]

I'm worried about opening my cube up. Does anyone have advice for how to make it better without opening it, or is that impossible? (also I can't get my caps off to change to black, any tips on that?)

[@merci8545]

my cube was missing some holes so I am going to have to cut off some pieces of plastic on my black pieces if I want to install them. seems like more work than it's worth tho

I had a similar issue with my Square-1, think the design isn't the best. I replaced my screw with another cube, but if you don't have one might need to just force it as much as possible.

Why can't I loosen the screw enough so that it disassembles? The screw just gets stuck at one point and doesn't move. Can someone help me? Edit: Do not trust cheap Chinese hardware I was using the screwdriver they gave me in the box and it appears it was too shitty to do anything reasonable.
