4. Setup and Adjustment

The Moyu RS3M 2020 comes pre-assembled and ready for use. However, you can fine-tune its performance using the included adjustment tools.

4.1 Adjusting Elasticity (Tension)

1. Locate the center caps on each face of the cube. Gently pry off one center cap to reveal the adjustment mechanism.
2. Insert the blue adjustment tool into the center ring.
3. Rotate the tool counter-clockwise to loosen the tension (making the cube turn more freely) or clockwise to tighten the tension (making the cube feel more stable). The dual adjustment system offers nine distinct levels of elasticity.
4. Repeat this process for all six faces, ensuring consistent tension across the cube for balanced performance.
5. Replace the center caps.

4.2 Adjusting Screw Length (Core Tension)

For more advanced adjustments, you can also modify the length of the screws beneath the elasticity mechanism. This affects the core tension of the cube.

1. Remove the center cap and the elasticity adjustment mechanism as described above.
2. Use a small screwdriver (often included with the cube) to turn the screw. Turning clockwise tightens the core, and counter-clockwise loosens it.
3. Adjust all six screws evenly to maintain the cube's structural integrity and balance.
4. Reassemble the elasticity mechanism and center caps.

5. Operating Instructions

The Moyu RS3M 2020 is a standard 3x3 speed cube. Its operation involves turning its faces to scramble and then solve the puzzle, aligning all colors on each face.

• Turning: Hold the cube firmly and rotate any face (top, bottom, front, back, left, right) 90, 180, or 270 degrees. The magnetic positioning will help guide the layers into place.
• Corner Cutting: The cube is designed with excellent corner cutting capabilities, allowing for turns even when the layers are not perfectly aligned. This feature is crucial for speed cubing.
• Solving: Utilize standard Rubik's Cube algorithms and techniques to solve the puzzle. The smooth turning and magnetic feedback of the RS3M 2020 will enhance your solving experience.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your speed cube.

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the cube with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the plastic.
• Lubrication: For advanced users seeking to further customize the feel, specialized silicone-based cube lubricants can be applied sparingly to the internal contact surfaces. Remove a piece (e.g., an edge piece) to access the interior, apply a small drop of lubricant, and then work it in by turning the cube. Do not over-lubricate.
• Storage: Store the cube in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cube feels too loose or too tight: Adjust the elasticity using the dual adjustment system as described in Section 4.1.
• Pieces popping out: This can occur if the cube is too loose or if aggressive turning is applied. Try tightening the elasticity (Section 4.1) or the core screws (Section 4.2). If a piece pops out, carefully reinsert it.
• Grinding or rough turning: The cube may need cleaning or lubrication. Refer to Section 6 for maintenance tips. Ensure all internal components are free of debris.
• Magnets feel weak or inconsistent: While rare, if magnets feel significantly weaker, ensure the cube is not exposed to strong external magnetic fields. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
