The first of these puzzles I finished a while ago, but since I was unhappy with its movement and everything, I just didn't get around to posting it till now. This puzzle is exactly the same Plastics Masterball Cube, except mine has a bandaged middle layer you could say. I had the parts #d printed, and they were my first ever. I realized, however that the main mechanism piece, the one with the inner tracks, was actually almost impossible to mold, thus i only made two of this puzzle. They both function, yet not well, due to my problems trying to align the two main pieces by a screw. Either way, its still my first 3d printed puzzle, and hopefully the first of many.
The second is not exactly a new idea, though I have yet to see pictures of another one. It's a 4x4x4 Rhombic Dodecahedron, which I had made molds for a while ago, but never finished. I had nothing else going on last night, so I thought I'd finish casting the pieces. I realized that the pieces I had made and molded were not exactly perfect, and thus the puzzle has slightly choppy turning and looks a little rough. But I plan to clean it up the best I can and make it look presentable. I'll wait on the stickers so my resin doesn't cause any bubbles.

Both of these puzzles look amazing. Especially the Rhombic Dodecahedron

They both look great.
The 4x4x4 RD looks well made, even without the stickers. For some reason, I expected it to be larger.

Thats not a rhombiminx. The rhombiminx is the same, but different.

the 4 fold solid angle of 4x4x4 RD looks very accurate, nice build!
