A corner turning truncated octahedron with boublesized cuts.

Bubblimedean follows other puzzles named Bubbl... All of them share the same property: They are corner turning puzzle with the edges between the corners being of different sizes. In this case the edges between squares and hexagons consist of two pieces. The edges between two hexagons consist of three pieces. The inventor also sketched up an inverted variant with these numbers exchanged.
The shape is the truncated octahedron, an archimedean solid. The axis system has already been implemented in the Octacle. Both puzzles are jumbling-only and have 24 turning axes.
To make all edge pieces symmetrical, the inventor made the square faces concave instead of pillowing hexagonal faces on this puzzle. The puzzle is SLA-printed by some commercial 3D-printing service.
Bubblimedean got its name since it is the first printed boublesized corner-turning Archimedean solid.
