What is the fourth axis? I can't really see it.

I'm trying to imagine a cubic version of this puzzle but I can't quite figure it out. Anyhow this is very neat.

Steryne · **Posted:** Sat Sep 19, 2009 2:37 pm

It would be a skewb. One very, very tight skewb.

Awesome i can't believe you can make all these 'crazy' cubes and yet tell us all this information in simply pictures. I truly envy you :lol:

The puzzle is nice, but what's up with your nail on your pinky? Is that your cocaine nail? :lol:

actually what I said roughly translates into "Wow! a circle-Halpern-meyer Tetrahedron! The mods you make are very interesting, I don't even understand how they work!" (Chinese is my first language, but I speak English more often so my chinese grammar may be incorrect)

Amazing! How can this idea be transformed onto a skewb?!!
So you turn a face, but the inner circle stays.

Crazy idea!
How will be? if this idea go into the pyraminx mech. :shock:

interestingly :wink:

我是第一次使用这种工艺来制作魔方，零件很粗糙，带有气孔 :oops:

Monopoly · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 1:32 pm

It needs a bit more work before he gets it stickered. :wink:

Even so, it looks beautiful. Great work! :shock:

This is amazing that the parts work, great proof of concept! however the presentation is pretty horrible. I wonder what happened to his molds to make the parts so fugly?

Garrett · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 3:00 pm

Drew, it looks like his resin is going bad, making air bubbles in the part. So when he sands it exposes the air bubbles and fills them with black residue from the sanding.

so, filling and painting should fix it up all good and nice!

Sigurd · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2009 7:54 pm

Drew you better watch out! this guy might be pumping out circle elite tetrahedrons and skewbs in the future. :lol:

Daqing Bao, your puzzles are all incredible. I would recommend finding a different casting resin, one that reduces bubbles.

We haven't seen any videos of any of your puzzles, yet. Any chance you could make one for this puzzle? 动态影像?

Thank you. 謝謝您.
