A Square-1/2 puzzle with a symmetric middle cut and layers offset by 45º.

The puzzle was designed in Onshape and 3D Printed in yellow ABS plastic on a ZMorph printer. The mechanism used is very simple, with two core pieces, eight corners, and one screw. Even with minimal post processing, the turning is good and can be finger-tricked. Stickers were made out of a vinyl material
The solve is simple and uses cuboid algorithms, similar to a 2x2x3, and does not change its shape.
Although the name may seem complicated, the puzzle is very simple, and was the inventor's first design.
This puzzle is very similar to the Dino Square-1. The difference is the differently oriented cut in the middle layer.
