This puzzle is based on the concept of the excellent Raptor Cube, made back in 2014. See the separate entry. While analyzing the geometry of that puzzle, Ben Streeter discovered that if the cuts are modified in a specific way, unbandaging could be done to allow more possible turns.
Not only can this puzzle do the normal 120 degree corner turns as seen in image 3. It can also make 60 degree turns, as seen in image 4.
Once a 60 degree turn is made, four of the corners of the cube can then always make these turns, while the other four become blocked and cannot turn. However, once the edge pieces have returned to their natural positions, all corner turns become freed up again, and further scrambling can be done. Therefore the puzzle works somewhat like two Skyglobes fused into one puzzle. It created an immediate discussion about wheather this puzzle jumbles or not.
Just like in the original puzzle, half of the triangle shards are in one orbit (they touch only four of the corners) while the other half are in another orbit (touching the other four corners), even with the unbandaging and extra pieces.
There’s a total of 131 parts, many of which are very small.
Edge length: 72 mm.
