I took the advice of a recent post and used a metal file to sand mine. As long as the grain of the file is sufficient to sand the plastic, you should be okay. The file I used was even too large but it still did the trick.
I was going to make a post of this, but I just haven't got any good photos yet to help illustrate. But this is a great technique, even for store bought cubes. The place where the corner cover is "welded" on (or however they do that at the factory) sometimes leaves extra plastic attached to the foot of the corner piece. The result is usually not noticable, until you get four "bad" pieces lined up the same way on one face, with each corner cover occupying the same plane. This puts so much tension on the circular track of that face, that suddenly that face will seem to turn very rough. If you twist a few of the corners, it will turn smooth again. Sanding that part eliminates this effect.
