as i was solving my pyraminx crystal it exploded :( i lost three of the pieces. After and extensive search I found two of them. Does anyone know where i can buy a singly white pyraminx crystal piece? Also, I don't think anyone has done much modding of these but if anyone has and has spare piece from that i would be willing to buy it

If all else fails, it would be a good excuse to get some casting stuff and cast your own extra. I'm actually hoping something like that gives me such a good excuse.

*runs off to go "lose" a piece from my 3x3*, good thing my mom doesn't know I can just buy the piece off the internet =D, hehe, well maybe not a 3x3, why spend money to cast a 3x3 piece =/

I believe someone made a clear pyraminx crystal some time ago... You should try to track down that person and see if they'll cast in white for you. Off the top of my head I cannot remember who it was though, sorry.

I think this is the only one so far.

But FWI there is very little "room" in which to mod a crystal without having to make completely new pieces; it's the same reason a hexaminx (cubical megaminx -> hexaminx by Tony Fisher) took so long to make, despite many attempts. If you try to mod a megaminx "out" to far, you run into the edge pieces of a pyraminx crystal and that just causes problems.... :lol:

If you mod "out" to far on a pyraminx crystal you run into the new pieces that are on this puzzle (the ones near the center of each face).

Mod that puzzle out too far and you run into the corners of this puzzle.

Modding off of that last one however should work no matter what - too bad no one has ever built it (hintity-hint-hint :wink: )

Peace
