No Gear Master Pyraminx but a Master Gear Pyraminx.
After creating the Gear Pyraminx its creator took up a new challenge: To create a higher order Gear Pyraminx.
This is a true second order gear puzzle - the geared edges roll not only between steady pieces, but most of the way they move between other gears. After 3 turns the active gears turn by 1 tooth (of 7), after 7 turns the puzzle restores its shape, but the colours of the middle layer shift by 1/3 turn and the top colours shift by 2/3 turn.
Do not confuse this puzzle with Gear Master Pyraminx. This was tried by the creator too but he realized that it will not work. This puzzle may also be called Gear Triamond as they both have the same pieces if one neglects the edges orientation.
