    i found a way to do this mod without using two clocks!
    what i did is i took the screw of my clock, found the center piece, and used the screw to push the magnets down to the same resting place as in the edge magnets, it works perfectly, because the only difference between the two is the swapped magnet height, so its really easy to do. if you do this with both center pieces, its just as if you swapped them with edge pieces!
    im really glad that i found this video as well, i never wouldve known that the center piece is stronger!
    great video, and tutorial by the way :)

    How can you tell the middle piece has stronger magnets? I already took out my clock before watching this video

    • @ElephantCuber
      @ElephantCuber  2 года назад +5

      If you look, the magnets will be further up to the surface than the other ones, also i’m a big fan of your videos :) And if you got a qiyi clock when they first came out, the magnets may all be the same strength

    You don't need to sacrifice one clock to do the modification, If you push the magnets away with a pencil or pen the centers clock will be like the others :3

    how can I clean the plastic case?

    • @Sula_Mareska
      @Sula_Mareska 2 года назад +1

      I find what works best for me is just simply using water for the interior casing, where I make sure to run it under a faucet to loosen up any old lube, and just blot drying it with a paper towel. For the exterior clear casing, I tend to clean it like glasses, where I breathe on it to get it kind of wet, and clean it with a glasses cloth from there, paying extra attention to the peg holes, since that's where most of my grime gets built up.
