Zhanchi CPM (Center Piece Mod)

[thesessygiraffe]

@Stewarteunice with a higher grit youll get better results

[typeman5]

this mod made my zhanchi godly! :D

[6nomnomnom9]

Thanks! I just finished modding my zhanchi and it feels GREAT.

[AngelJK99]

Regarding my experiences with mods, this mod is awesome!!!. I've just finished to do it with my cutter ( i don't have a dreamel) and i feel the difference right away. I've done a few classic mods to my zhanchi but this mod change the feel of it. As personal preference, i love it. Many thanks for sharing this. FYI: i use lubix as lube for my cubes and i lube them following their recommendations.

[kevinchungwujosue]

can i use sand paper ??

[stewarteunice]

@kevinchungwujosue Yes. Sandpaper is great for modding; I prefer 35 grit.

Also, I did this mod, but now my cube doesn't cut corners very well, locks up, and it is VERY loose; Did I do something wrong?

[iLive245]

McDonald fingers!!! :D

[samchoochiu]

so many damn mods for the guhong jesus -__-

a TSUNAMI of mods

[nghiem303]

i'll buy it ! amzing mod

[HippoTrooper]

wouldn't it wear out over time by itself?

[lHenry97]

@HippoTrooper Yes but's like that for almost every mod, because everything searches the way of weakest resistance. But doing it manually makes the process alot quicker.

[D4rkFang]

does this also work with guhong?

[cubelover111]

dows our zhanchi cpm have t-parts?

[iseldoff]

I really don't see any reason to mod a zhan chi it's really perfection in my eyes for 3x3s these 48 point egde mods and this mod is to reduce clicking which I think was put there intentually to help reduce overturning I mean it's ok to do if you have super control over your cube but a lot of cubers are rough cubers and really should have that clicking there to help in most cases not having that there can actually in cress your times because of haveing to adjust for over turning

[D4rkFang]

do you have to pull center piece off first? and how

[julianvalencia7]

@D4rkFang by unscrewing the screw out of the core

[ThisIsGOKKAR]

Is there any reason to mod a Lubix Ultimate Zhanchi? Also, do your Zhanchi mods improve the performance, or just the feel of the cube?

[izovire]

@ThisIsGOKKAR You can mod your lubix if you want to. If the CPM didn't change performance I wouldn't be doing the mod. I tried several mods and most of them had no effect

[dummerbube]

I did the Center-Stem mod on my test GuHong to a few months back and can only agree with what you said regarding it. And nice that you actually share what you do to the cubes you sell - unlike others. Nice for price transparency and people actually get to see what they can expect. I like this a lot!

[izovire]

@dummerbube "Save money. Live better" -Walmart quote.

I like showing people how to mod so if they decide to do it themselves they can save money. I also show people to encourage buying.

[asianboy2060]

I see the difference but you should compare to a lubix zhan chi

[izovire]

@asianboy2060 as far as I know Lubix only does the 48 point edge mod on the Zhanchi (correct me if I'm wrong). I've already tried that mod by itself and I didn't notice any change. The one problem that I found was the corner bases rubbing against the center stem. So modding the stem is quicker.

[Roobitz]

Holy shit, those are some fast PLL algs!

Question - do you think maybe they leave those little edges on, on purpose, to aid in making more precise, or "complete" turns, as opposed to possible over-turning with a really smooth stem, like you've made it? I'm sure you would get used to either way if you practiced on either cube, but I'm wondering if that was the reason they changed it from the lingyun (lunhui?).

[izovire]

@Roobitz I'm not sure actually... but the Lunhui is the only Dayan made with round stems. I don't think the octagon has a mechanical purpose other than it was simply molded that way.

[drumgod1997]

can we have a center cap mod? because there isnt any left over flash like the guhong has

[izovire]

@drumgod1997 Dayan's 2-5 3x3's all have that problem. I could probably take care of the excess plastic for free. hmmm...

[drumgod1997]

@izovire hmm i think ill just do it myself

[MrcircleandSquare]

fully modding my guhong, but I don't have a dremel :I

It took an hour to do two sections.

[pokelegocuber]

cool!

[sebucwerd]

lol i was about to do this mod.

[Zwhite10]

so what would happen if you did this and the 48 point mod? would it be to loose and pop?

[sebucwerd]

@Zwhite10 no i did it, it's fine.

[izovire]

@Zwhite10 It doesn't feel any different before or after the CPM. Over the course of 2 weeks I tested out various mods and most of them had no effect. The only one where I found some change was the centers. I also do this to the Godly Guhong.

[izovire]

ooo look at the reactions menu on the right --->

[700kissestome]

@izovire you spelled zhanchi wrong
