How to Choose a Suitable Magic Cube?
Hello everyone, today we will talk about how to choose the appropriate Magic Cube?
With the increase of Magic Cube competitions, the promotion and dissemination of Magic Cube knowledge, and the addition of many Magic Cube institutions, Magic Cube can gain more people's understanding and recognition, continuously expanding the scope of the Magic Cube circle, and allowing more and more people to meet and learn from each other, and grow from each other.
Many beginners or those who want to learn Magic Cube may struggle with the question of which Magic Cube to choose at the beginning, thinking about which type of Magic Cube to purchase? Is it a black or white background? Is it a patch or solid color? Do you need fault tolerance? A series of questions have emerged about whether to add magnetism or not. What are the differences or differences between these types?
Before starting to understand, we need to know what a good Magic Cube should have, so as to have a standard to compare the Magic Cube we want to purchase. A good Magic Cube depends on whether its color meets the standard; Whether the fault tolerance and anti flying edge effect of its structure are consistent; The effect of magnetic positioning is presented.
Below, we will introduce these major aspects:
1、 Color
1. 1 Standard color scheme
There are six international standard colors for Magic Cube, namely red, orange, yellow, white, blue, and green. Red and orange are opposite, blue and green are opposite, and yellow and white are opposite. Of course, in order to cater to the preferences of consumers, many different colored Magic Cubes have also been launched on the market. If they are used for entertainment, you can choose them yourself. However, if you want to participate in professional competitions like playing Magic Cubes, it is still recommended to use standard colored Magic Cubes.
1.2 Is the patch color solid color
There are generally two types of Magic Cubes commonly seen nowadays, one is a surface mounted Magic Cube, and the other is a solid colored Magic Cube.
In the early days, due to limited costs and industrial and technological levels, the Magic Cubes on the market were basically only SMT Magic Cubes. Using a single color substrate made it easier to achieve mass production of Magic Cubes. After the production of the monochrome Magic Cube, corresponding colored patches are pasted on each side, and the finished product of a patch Magic Cube is completed.
The early SMT Magic Cube was the most suitable mature mass production process at that time, but the disadvantage was also obvious. If the quality of the SMT was not good, it could easily cause the sticker to wear out or fall off, which required a new SMT process. However, with the advancement of technology, there are few such problems with SMT Magic Cube nowadays.
The solid colored Magic Cube has actually become increasingly popular in recent years, due to continuous technological updates and breakthroughs. The original Magic Cube corner blocks are divided into three small pieces for production, and each edge block is divided into two small pieces for production. Then, through mature assembly technology, the solid colored Magic Cube is assembled and completed. So if you choose from the perspective of wear resistance and practicality, solid colored Magic Cube is more recommended.
2、 Structure
2.1 Fault tolerance
The reason why the early Magic Cube did not rotate as smoothly as it does now is because the early Magic Cube did not have fault-tolerant processing, which means that the blocks of the Magic Cube were not chamfered. This will result in the Magic Cube not rotating properly if the layers are not aligned properly.
The Magic Cube has developed to this day, and now it basically has capacity
