Here is my latest mod. This has been made before, in a similar fashion, but I chose to truncate it all the way down so that the edges of the triangular faces line up with the center slice on the top and bottom faces. Also, the shape the elongated hexagonal faces is identical on all 6 sides, resulting in 4 equilateral triangles on the 4 truncated sides. The result came out quite nice, and the puzzle is fun to play with.

Very nice puzzle. It looks like it could easily be production-quality.

Very nice! It's a very natural place to put an otherwise unnatural-looking cut. Great execution! :D
