This is the Pentagonal Prism designed by Scott Bedard. I bought the files from his website before it closed. It is a pretty simple mechanism and it turns flawlessly. It was cast with smoothcast 300 and then dyed black with RIT dye. I used cubesmith textured tiles because I know I will be playing with this puzzle a lot, so I don't want to keep replacing stickers. I'll take some better pictures next time the sun comes out :)

Looks great!
But a white/yellow/green corner? That violates both BOY and Japanese colorings! The horror!

LOL David! We should make a topic which lists all "puzzle crimes",
not just stickering, but also lubing, wrong turning, bad gluing, etc

:lol:

Kidding aside, the puzzle looks great!

My helicopter cube from the Jason Smith's store looked so lonely in my collection though!
