A φ-Square-5 with a shape resulting from a toroid truncated into a cuboid.

After making Rainbow φ-Square-3, the inventor considered the possibility of creating this model by modifying
- the geometry used, which could be considered as the result of truncating a toroid to which a sphere has been added, to give it the shape of a cuboid.
- by changing both the distribution of the pieces and the colours chosen for the stickers.

He used φ to establish the cutting point in the Square, now besides being a question of aesthetics, it has also become a way to personalise and complicate the resolution of these model, since the bandage that appears when using an angle of 26.565º generates some extra complications when solving the puzzle.

Printed in PETG plastic
Diameters (initial toroid): 96 and 41 mm
Diameter (sphere): 70 mm
Weight: 206 grams
