Update 04/06/2019: Since the competition is over (https://www.myminifactory.com/competition/makeanything-design-challenge-139), the description has been heavily edited so that it doesn't sound like some rant about how great twisty puzzles are. :p Heyo! Just finished whipping this up! It's a twisty puzzle with two layers of corner-centred turns: the standard "3x3x3" turn (similar to Trajber's Octahedron), and the shallower hyperbolic cuts, which form the non-standard cuts that meet together at the centre of each face (the wide gaps from the fillets are similar to the mass-produced "Flowerminx"). These hyperbolic cuts enable visually impossible turns to work. Better examples can be seen here:Mercedes Cube IIDeceptiminxImpossible Twist 4 of the 8 faces on the puzzle have 3 bandaged (fused) pieces each; 2 "clockwise" and 2 "anti-clockwise" patterns. Bandaged pieces restrict moves in certain permutations, adding to the difficulty of the puzzle. (I've also checked to make sure they do not restrict too many moves.) At the initial time this was uploaded, the puzzle had never been printed before. However it should be noted that it since has been printed and a video has been uploaded here: http://sendvid.com/u9f1l3zk

Just another twisty puzzle amateur designer! Been in and out of designing these since 2011, but only managed to 3D print one successfully in 2016. Probably won't be using this after the competition I'm planning to enter here: https://www.myminifactory.com/competition/makeanything-design-challenge-139 Update 04/06/2019: Okay. Maybe there will be a couple more designs in the future. Finally got familiarised with a personal FDM printer a few months ago and now trying to design puzzles that will print easier on those. Was designing for SLS printing previously. Got a test one in the works.
