Hey forum,
The redi 3x3, as the name suggests, is a combination of Oskar's Redi cube and a standard 3x3.
The turning quality is decent, but it is not perfect. I think this is due to a shapeways printing error (the core is not perfectly spherical and it causes problems)
This puzzle will be for sale through my shapeways shop sometime later this week.
Solving wise, this puzzle is much more interesting than I anticipated. I used a "3x3 reduction method" to (try) and solve it, and it doesn't seem very suitable. I have done a three solve attempts,
and one one of them, I ended up with an oll parity, on another, I got a pll parity, and on the third, I got lucky, and was able to solve the puzzle. Any suggestions on a better way to solve it? maybe corners, then edges, followed by centers?

Awesome! I especially like how they look so similar (this and the 3x3x3) except for the center x.

I love this puzzle, the cuts look extremely deceiving, but awesome nonetheless.

I think a Mosaic 4x4 is more appropriate.
