I'd like to present another new puzzle of mine, the Fisher Curvy Copter.

As the name suggests it is a fisher transformation of a Curvy Copter.

It has an edge length of about 57mm and weighs about 120 grams

This is the most beautiful Fisher variant of any puzzle,
including the original one. (I am sorry Tony)

Thank you for the measurements of this and the other puzzle.

Beautiful puzzle, you're on quite the roll!

Do you have (or can you make) a video of the puzzle? I'd live to see it in action, particularly the four circular slices.

Keep up the great work!
Dave

I'm imagining that seeing this someone immediately ran to make an axis version.

I've had it modelled for a long time but I don't plan on printing it anytime soon :lol:

Absolutely fantastic puzzles! Love your work so far. Keep it up! :D

The top and bottom faces remind me of a Redi Cube. The corners on those faces even turn like on that puzzle!

Very cool! The side shape looks like ancient Chinese coin. Interesting!

The simplest ideas, often turn into beautifull creations. Nicely done!

Beautiful! :D I think this would look even better with just the circle faces unbandaged - I wonder how that would solve, in comparison to a fully unbandaged Curvy Copter.

Nice!

I made this puzzle in PCubes.
The code will be uploaded soon.

The puzzle has a strange shape simply to make this even possible. The jagged edges are there for proper bandaging.

I would love to see this mass produced!

Absolute wonder!

And like always, we all think "why did nobody think about creating that before?"
