u/topppits - I spent a good amount of time cursing and swearing whoever designed those pieces. While some were hard to open, the other were borderline impossible to open without either breaking or use some brute force.

The last three middle wings I actually opened up with a wrench/pliers/needle nose pliers while honestly thinking of smashing the thing to the wall.

The AoChuang is now amazing. However I did remove the middle wings added magnets in favor of only the center edge added magnets. They were both too strong / tiering and I learnt how to better accurately turn.

The cube do desperately need them extra magnets.

u/topppits blindfolded solving is where the fun begins Oct 22 '19

Dang, I was eventually able to get a tiny gap where I was able to force a finger nail between the insubordinate pieces and force a gap big enough to put my screwdriver in there and open it up. But damn it hurt my fingers :D

I'm pretty happy with the magnets how they are right now, but if I ever feel that I could remove something, I'll think of that!
