Void Petaminx: FINISHED

cooldayr · **Joined:** Fri Nov 27, 2009 8:09 am

Hello everyone, sorry for the lame description early.
As many of you may know me and will recently made a void gigaminx, after it being such a success we wanted to bury the joke
We didn't have the money to do teraminx so we just jumped to petamimx.
The puzzle with more turning continues to improve and is now finger trickable

Enjoy the video and pic.

Just saw the stickers (Oliver took a pic)

Now stickered, thanks to Oliver for perfect stickers

LOL! The more I look at this, the more I think I am drunk and looking double or triple pieces

Just two more words: Outstandingly astonishing!!!

Seriously, how on earth do you make a siamese puzzle out of a pillowed cube?

I have no idea, but given the creativity and achievements so far, it seems only a matter of time before somebody comes up with a solution. :wink:

The fact that the core is mostly hollow really has to help with the cost of this puzzle.

NType3 · **Joined:** Mon Oct 18, 2010 10:48 am

eh... I'm not so sure about that. It seems to me that, by removing the core, you're not taking plastic out of the puzzle. You're just making it into a different internal mechanism for rotation.

Well, yes and no. The core is hollow, but most puzzles that are printed also have hollow cores, so it doesn't make a huge difference in comparison to those puzzles.

This is just mind blowing. I saw him showing some of this off in IRC. He had broken in the outer layer a bit and it turned great.

So we're just skipping the Teraminx are we? Honestly, that's amazing.

Now just print two more of them and buy a stick of superglue, and we can put away the "triple fused void petaminx" gag/meme forever!

Garrett · **Posted:** Tue Oct 19, 2010 10:28 pm

This is just, incredible. Great work!

lol, "Puzzlists". Nice term.

My only problem with the puzzle is that the stickers look more like a grey than a deep black. This might be just because of the camera + lighting though.

Luke · **Posted:** Wed Oct 20, 2010 1:20 am

I can't wait to see it finished! Looks great dyed, but like Garrett said, it does look a bit grey. On the other hand that could be due to the lighting.

I seriously may consider scraping together the cash for this!

CubesFan94 · **Posted:** Wed Oct 20, 2010 4:13 am

Try a void 7x7x7

gibbleking · **Posted:** Wed Oct 20, 2010 4:44 am

will it smooth out after while of turning or do you have to lube it to an inch of its life.....sounds rough on youtube ...im assuming its because its printed ...ps fantastic to see ....i wish i could have one...

Maybe just a bit longer (another cycle) in the black dye? (in case it's really an issue).

cooldayr · **Joined:** Fri Nov 27, 2009 8:09 am

The puzzle does look to be a bit gray in the video but I can assure you if you saw this in real life it is as black as possible

gibbleking · **Posted:** Wed Oct 20, 2010 9:58 am

would love to see it transparent blue....
