I just finished this puzzle up today, after a week or so of tinkering. It is printed in Shapeways WSF material. I lost one of the parts in the dyeing process (which for me involves an outdoor fire and garden hose  ) but got it replaced last week. I just finished the stickers today and this is the result: VIDEO!   I'm pretty happy with this puzzle. I feel that I got the size just right (65mm edges, same height as a rubiks 3x3x3). The inner slices turn very smoothly and can cut corners. The outer slices can be a bit tricky to turn, but once you learn how to turn the puzzle they turn very smoothly as well. Video soon explaining what I mean by this. I plan on selling this in a BIN ebay auction soon, so keep an eye out in the Marketplace! (Also, I FINALLY discovered a good method for getting cyanoacrylate glue to cure onto SLS! Sprinkle a bit of baking soda on the joint and it cures instantly.)

At first I expected it to be to a FTO what the 4x4x4 is to the 3x3x3 from the first picture,
But, it looks great! Very high quality and sounds like it's quite small too! 3x3x3 size you say?

Awesome! I really love octahedrons! I may seem thick in asking this but, I can't work out which puzzle this is based on. I know the normal one is a 3x3x3, but is this a 4x4x4? I really can't tell.

I really can't tell. It's closer to a 5x5 actually. A 4x4 octahedron would have cuts going down the middle in all directions.

Actually the best analogy for this puzzle is Tony Fisher's cross cube. Great puzzle Garrett, I hope to own one someday!

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Glad everyone likes it. The puzzle has been claimed by a private buyer so I will not be selling it on Ebay as planned.

That's exellent info. Builders take note of it! How did you learn it? I don't remember exactly how I learned it but its one of the most useful tips I've ever come across. It's especially useful for joining plastic sheet. I actually learned that trick a while ago but I didn't think of it for this use!

Video uploaded!
And eric is right, this is most closely related to the 3x3x3 cross cube.
