This puzzle is a little side project. The idea was to test if I can create a complex design for FDM printers. The puzzle has many errors I wish to address, but hey it is fully functional and solvable. The guy who printed it already solved it.

Congrats on finishing this puzzle! I have a similar puzzle on the way, except it's corner-turning rather than edge turning. :mrgreen:

Cuboid and helicopter puzzles together, this may be a new choice of designing puzzles! Great work jiroscop! Hope to see a more delicate puzzle from you in the future :lol:

Chewie from Chewie's Custom Stickers agreed to print a new version of the puzzle. It's shorter and works much much better :)

What a fine looking puzzle. I'm looking forward to seeing it stickered.

I can remember the helicopter 2x2x4 by Greg, which was brought online almost at the same time.

Is it something really different, mechanism-wise?

For people who wanted to see it stickered. Stickers are hand cut and not that great, but it's a real working puzzle now and surprisingly hard as you can see on the video :)
