Seriously. For thsoe of you who have created sets with double faced or transform cards, how exactly did you implement them after printing. If I wanna create some double sided cards for my cubes, what are your suggestions, first of all for printing them and second of all for sleeving up to play with.

So, the templates for MSE are purposefully designed to not be hi-res for a reason. Further, unless you have a really nice printer, you're probably not going to be able to print on card stock of the kind used for playing cards. For cheap options, I've come up with one of two options, both of them involve using sleeves: - Best Card Stock You Can
Basically, find out what your printer can print on, get that stock and print on it. Getting cards to line up exactly is a pain, in my experience, so there's no point in trying to print backs. As long as the cards are all on the same stock, and in sleeves with an opaque backing, you should be fine.
- Repurpose those Commons!
Rather than dealing with card stock, you can use anything from glossy paper to light card stock in order to print out the card and slip it in the sleeve ALONG WITH an ordinary MTG card. This will give the consistency needed for shuffling while still allowing you a proxy method that works for casual games.

To start with to point out that I'm aged I had too look up what transform cards even are to find out what you are talking about.
My first question would be how they were used in actual tournaments (from my perspective they wouldn't be tournament legal cards because the card back isn't the same, similar to Alpha only being able to be played with other Alpha cards due to the different corners).
I don't know how you are actually printing the normal cards (I haven't done it since we wiped basic lands with acetone and taped them to paper and ran them through the college laser printers but this was well before foiling and I think there are easier ways now). But if it were me I would print two cards for each of the transform cards and include the castable version in the cube. This is assuming that a player doesn't need to obtain the transform of the card until after it has been revealed that he has the other half. If you had more than one of the transform cards you could make a simple cheat card for all players (just an index card) that tells which transforms links to the other half.

And using that as an example, it's exactly how I would deal with double faced cards. Either use a proxy/placeholder card or make two single faced cards that I interchange between.

Every set that has Dual-Faced Cards also has checklist cards which are used as a legal proxy for the DFC in your deck. The checklist card *does* have the back, but you are required to have the appropriate card checked off and the actual card on your person or off to the side. (Checklist cards include the name, colour, and casting cost of the obverse side of the card.) This is an example of such a card (from Shadows over Innistrad).
In casual setups, opaque card sleeves can also be used.

Ok. I think just printing out to separate cards will work for me. I was just unsure if this was an unnecessary hassle or if there was perhaps some solution i hadnt thought of. Thank you guys for the great suggestions!
