| This is a guide for re-assembling a 4x4 speed cube if the pieces have popped off. The guide goes over the assembly of the edge, center, and corner pieces as well as fixing the broken pieces themselves. This commonly occurs when the cube is dropped on a hard surface or if the cube has loose/uneven tensions. There is a slight risk with the use of super-glue due to the irritation it can cause to skin and eyes through direct exposure. In addition, users must be careful with the use of the screwdriver due to its sharpness. |
| If your 4x4 speed cube (aka cube puzzle, rubik's cube) has a broken piece, doesn't rotate properly or smoothly, and has uneven tensions use this guide to repair the broken piece and reassemble the speed cube. In this guide we are repairing the Julysgift 4x4 cube puzzle. |

| The central screws in a speed cube controls the tensions between all the pieces. Tightening or loosening this screw allows for smoother rotations when using the speed cube. The central screw is also essential in the reassembly of the speed cube. The looseness of the screw allows pieces to be pulled out or inserted in. |
|
| The pieces hook onto the core of the speed cube. With the hook broken, the speed cube will have missing pieces. |
|
| This guide documents the repair of the center piece of a 4X4 speed cube as well as the reassembly of the 4x4 speed cube. For the reassembly, this guide goes over the assembly of the edge, center, and corner pieces. There is a slight risk with the use of E6000 industrial strength adhesive due to the vapors the glue can emit. Therefore, ensure that the adhesive is used in a well ventilated area. In addition, users must be careful with the use of the screwdriver due to its sharpness. |

| Pieces often break when the cube is dropped on a hard surface or if the cube has loose/uneven tensions. Rather than replacing the entire speed cube and creating further waste, the speed cube can instead be repaired and reused. |
