- Here's how I setup my MGC Square-1 and replaced the caps for black! Took a while for me to find out how to take them off so decided to make it easier when you get them, and also the setup is pretty good :)

Hello! thank you for the great tutorial!
I already knew how to switch edges because I unboxed with a friend of mine his sq-1, but I didnt knew how to swith corners. Thank you for great video!
thanks for the tutorial! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to set up my squan to my likings, but It really turned out perfect!
Thank you for this amazing comment through Our Lord Jesus Christ In His Holy Name Amen.
Great video! Ordered my square 1 this morning!
You can also switch black and white by switching the equator caps and solving the puzzle
Thank you for this amazing comment through Our Lord Jesus Christ In His Holy Name Amen.
what is an equator cap
How do I switch them
You can take off the caps on the side of the cube where the screw system is and switch their places you might have to flip the caps around to get them in but once they are in you can flip the top and bottom colors of the cube
@@josianthelion6918 I have tried that but black is still on the bottom
tysm! made it 1000x better
This video is awesome!
Great video thank you, I just ordered mine half hour ago, looking forward to it.
Thanks so much I did mine on just a yuxin m and it worked out great but I am hoping to gat an mgc
thanks man very helpful
Im saving this video cuz i want a mgc squan for christmas! I will need this video later! (Btw good video!)
You got ur squan yet?
Great videos
Thanks! :D
Hey cube master! What can I do with Angstrom dignitas, Angstrom gravitas, DNM-37, comet, and Traxxas 50k? (Since those are the only lubes I have
Dude the algorithms are going crazy I just bought a Mac square one 2 days ago and I see this
thanks for the tutorial! however my squan popped one day and when i tried to fix it the screw just stopped turning. i think its because the blue piece isnt turning with the screw. i cant tighten it and i have to have very low tps to solve now, and i really dont want to buy another one. 😕 have any ideas to fix this?
ty i didnt know how to tighten my square 1 it got super loose
My black side feels normal but the white side feels like a 3x3 with no springs. Is it fixable?
Yo this is kinda late but have you tried fz calm or rush on the mgc? If so how did it turn out?
lifesaver, thx so much
Hi Cube master
I just bought the mgc sqaure-1 and did your set up it's the best set up I have ever tried thanks for that but I
there is a problem that it strips a lot so can u give some suggestion for stopping the striping issue?
lube the screw
is there any way of lubing without dissasembling?
Is it just me or is that screwdriver looking kinda thicc... Great video!
Is it me or you have watch the videos of DANI!!!!?
@@latathakre918 yes. I am indeed milk gang
@@latathakre918 we dont speak about the drill around these parts
Good. You have passed not talking about the drill.
💀
Will cubicle mystic go along well with this cube??
I'm worried about opening my cube up. Does anyone have advice for how to make it better without opening it, or is that impossible? (also I can't get my caps off to change to black, any tips on that?)
I dont know if anyone else has this problem but my top and bottom layers are so slow and really hard to turn. I tried wiping off the lube and putting differrent lube in and loosening the screw but those dont work
Great vid. I wanted to see this vid to see how to switch the caps, since I won’t be setting up my mgc, I decided to get a premium set up one.
Also, unrelated question, should I get the mystic wrm or the regular 11m duo. Idk which one I like more, as my only other cubes is an old valk m (that I set up, to my knowledge, pretty well) and an rs3m. I like both equally.
I never tried the 11M but the Mystic WRM is pretty good. But I use a budget cube over that one so I'm not really sure which to recommend lol. Maybe check out some reviews or stick with a cheaper cube :)
@@CubeMasterYT what cube?
@@kaz8297 Meilong m
would dnm-37 and weight 5 work?
Can we use the black caps of mgc in yuxin little magic...
I'm going to add magnets to top and bottom layers. Mine just spins too easy. I miss aline so much. I enjoy the cube, those top and bottom layers spin to much
Is the washer actually useful? i lost it
I tried to push the edge of exactly like you said, and the post connecting the halves immediately snapped. Thanks a lot.
my spring got stripped in my mgc squan anyone knows how to fix it???
Somehow right after I got this I got a peg stuck in an edge while switching caps
my cube was missing some holes so I am going to have to cut off some pieces of plastic on my black pieces if I want to install them. seems like more work than it's worth tho
I thought only my cube was like this
Help!! I was taking off the yellow center caps to put on the black ones and while I was taking them out the piece that connects both center caps broke and now is stuck inside the place it goes!! What do I do to take it out??
hehe, same happened to me. just use a needle and try to destroy the pice that is stuck inside and try to get the most of it out. eventually i got enough out to put the black piece on. Good luck!
wow.
i tried to do the caps but i broke the piece :(
For me the top and bottom layers are too slow because for some reason they catch a lot on the equator
have you fixed it and if yes how? my top and bottom layers are super slow but i dont seem to find the problem
Could u make a sub 15 and sub 10 guide for squan?
I think he already did for sub 10
Can you switch out the caps on a 3x3 like you did on this?
I don't think you can
hello! I was setting up my square-1 but then the screwdriver wore down the screw. So now I have a really loose square 1 that I can't tighten. Have any ideas for what I should do?
I had a similar issue with my Square-1, think the design isn't the best. I replaced my screw with another cube, but if you don't have one might need to just force it as much as possible.
@@CubeMasterYT ty
have you tried out a non mag ylm squan, and if so is this a direct upgrade from it?
Ofc yes
This is a direct upgrade from volt v2 which is a direct upgrade from ylm m
Hi, what do you prefer mgc square-1 or volt v2 full magnetic?
MGC of course
@@cubingislife9473 meferers its better
I don’t know if anyone else encountered this, but when removing yellow the piece connecting the yellow to the side color broke off into the side piece, I can’t get it out
this happened to one of my edges too. just break the coresponding piece on the black cap and put it in. it wont come out that easily even without it
My mgc came white top
I don't know why but I can't make my cube tighter.Because when I trying to set-up cube with screw driver ,screw stay in one place and I can't move it. What to do?
im sure you figured it out due to this being 2 years old but i personally hold the other side of the screw inward then screw it in
Is the MGC square 1 screw stripped easily
lol, yes for me, i took it apart once and then I couldn't put it back together
"Feels like it's going to break the cube..." breaks the cube. It will sometimes pop the one tiny insert tab piece, making it really likely to fall apart. Take it apart first.
Still waiting for mine to come in, hopefully it will soon
Yep, I heard there were a few delays but it should hopefully be shipping very soon!
Yeah same. I ordered mine last week and it said it would ship in late may so, soon?
Official release is on May 28th, so hopefully you get it a bit after!
@@CubeMasterYT thanks man! I look forward to it
2,27 I can't unscrew the puzzle for some reason. Does anyone encounter the same problem as i do? Please let me know.
Me bro, how
I can’t unscrew mine either
@@DisneyCarsProductions me neither bro... 2 months later
@@Yoel_Avila same. I screw and I screw and it doesn’t make any progress from where it started
@@DisneyCarsProductions samee bro, how tf 😭, i asked some friends and they just say it's easy, "just unscrew hard"
Can you please make a video on how to assemble a square-1?
Is this mgc sq1 will be your new main?
Yep! Refer to the video before this one :)
Is it common for the caps to break? i have 2 or more broken and i did it correctly
me too, so disappointing
You use quite a lot but it’s good
which is better if you compare with Volt?
Mgc is worlds better
tnx
What is your 3x3 main?
Meilong m mu je main
Whats the fastest sq 1 method 🤔
@KB Cubes Yes cuz the Lin is good if you practice it A TON while for CSP you just learn how to trace and a bunch of algs
I took my square 1 apart and it just Loosens after 10 solves
yes
well i cant set it up cos my edge broke lol!
lmao rip
Wait how?
rip
Sad
Why can't I loosen the screw enough so that it disassembles? The screw just gets stuck at one point and doesn't move. Can someone help me?
Edit: Do not trust cheap Chinese hardware I was using the screwdriver they gave me in the box and it appears it was too shitty to do anything reasonable.
Hi
Where can I buy the black caps to replace the yellow ones?
I think they come with the cube
Ya
Never gonna switch caps again. Multiple plastic sticks broke off and stayed in the holes.
same, but it doesn't make the cube perform worse so im good with it
How to unscrew?
open the cap and twist counterclockwise
How the hell do i unscrew it?
There's this blue plug in the back and i cant even make a single turn with the screw
@@NalesnikMan take the cap from the other side, :)
@@birbbraintoo8494bro I did and I can’t get it
these caps do not want to go up bro
why do people like using black one square one
More contrast with white compared to yellow
@@CubeMasterYT oh
jesus loves us all ty
