DMCubing | Magcube School Ep. 3: How to Easily Disassemble the Valk 3 Corner Piece @dmcubing6342 | Uploaded March 2017 | Updated October 2024, 9 minutes ago.
Inspired by watching Chris Tran's recent video where he's developing a tool to disassemble the Valk 3 edge piece, I decided to design a tool to assist in disassembling the Valk 3 corner piece. As many people know, dealing with the little prongs when disassembling the Valk corner piece is a challenge. So, I decided to sketch out what kind of tool I'd need to make. Since I work a lot with a lathe, I decided I'd fashion mine out of brass rod stock, bore out the end at a taper, than this hole in the end of a rod would gradually and equally push the little prongs in.
Well, here's the funny part. As I was sitting there visualizing the tool, I glance down and see my Gan GES nut driver tool. To my surprise, a portion of it is the right diameter that I'd need for my tool, and there's a hole there. Could it be? Could this work on a Valk corner piece? I quickly grabbed a corner piece, gave it a try and YES!!! It works! Works perfectly!!!!! So I quickly made this video and thought I'd share this find with you guys.
Here's the tool, which you can purchase from The Cubicle for $2:

Alternatively, you can use a standard 7/32" nut driver, like this type:
