DMCubing | Magnetic 5x5 Preview - Tutorial Coming Soon! @dmcubing6342 | Uploaded February 2018 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Hey guys and gals! I have had a lot of questions about the 5x5 tutorial. Here's the update: I'm working on it! ;-) H
And here's a sneak-peak!
(Of course, the full tutorial will have all the details, etc.)
This tutorial will be a collaboration! I'm enlisting the help of a YouTube friend, KSCuber, who'll demonstrate the finished product. This ought to be a lot of fun!!! I'm really looking forward to it!!
I should have all the video footage shot by week's end, then I'll be sending the cube off to KSCuber, who'll do the demo videoing.
If you want to jump ahead of the class and magnetize your own before I post the tutorial read below.
OK guys. I hope to have the video posted within a couple of weeks or so. Happy cubing!!! Stay tuned....
For those wishing to magnetize now:
You'll see that I show two magnetic layouts early in this short video: NSSN, which necessitates gluing two magnets into one piece (a rather difficult thing to do!) and NS__NS. We'll be doing the NS__NS Polar Layout circled in orange. The rest of the pics in the video show the cubie pieces in relation to this polar layout.
MAGNETS: People generally use around an N35 4x1.5 up to N35 4x2 in the 5x5. In the Wushuang, we can get by with using only one strength of magnet, I'll be using N38 4x1.5 throughout. It is recommended NOT to use 4x2's throughout! Use 4x1.5. In other 5x5's, which have a freer middle, it is advisable to use slightly stronger magnets for the inner layers. Here, you can use an N35 4x2 while using either an N35 or N38 4x1.5 on the outer. My graphics show this, so just take a close look there. The 5x5 is easy to disassemble and reassemble. If you tape the inner 3x3 pieces together, it makes it easy to keep all the pieces together- we only need to work on the outer pieces of the cube.
