Get Sandy to fix the Puzzle Database!!!1!11!eleven

I don't know, but this will certainly give the pentultimate a run for it's money.

is it too late to enter this puzzle in a competition?

Not sure, but i think he was talking about a vote that is held on twistypuzzles usually in early january i think that votes on the best puzzle from the year before.

This puzzle is truly a behemoth. The effort and work put into it make it even more admirable. It's new. It's huge. It's terrifying. It's brilliant.

{CUT ! Not appreciative enough ! }



Undoubtedly. Good luck with it totally. I will be hugely jealous of the outcome.

Which ones?

I cannot find where it has and so I am wrong.
I'm not sure why I thought that.

Maybe I was thinking that the V-Cube 6 got an honourable mention in the 2005 Nob Yoshigahara Puzzle Design Competition.

Don't apologize! You're doing a fantastic job. Looking forward to seeing the next update...

it should be Noted, as of 11pm EST EXACTLY, the worlds first Teraminx has been COMPLETED.

All the parts are cast, and they await assembly. I am beginning NOW

HURRY HURRY PICTURES NOW PLEASE!

F5...F5...F5...F5...F5...F5...F5...F5...

YEAH!! Drewseph, congrats on a wonderful job.

Great work! I respect your patience (I will even more once you have stickered this beast)!

What would be the next piece of history made by the users of this forum?

I definitely wouldn't have been able to assemble a cat from scratch like that, the one next to that black ball thing.

Congratulations to this masterpiece.
When I first read your announcement to build the Teraminx, I feared, that sooner or later technical problems would cause the project to fail. But over the time, reading about your progress I really began to admire the patience with which you finally succeeded. Fantastic.
The puzzle looks awesome and movement is better than I expected.
What an incredible job!

Thank you everyone!!!

This project was tedious. however I plan to make more molds this week, to double or even triple the speed of casting in the future. I might even be able to make 2 more! we'll see how that goes though..... right now I just want to take a break and sticker this thing.....

That is MEAN!!! But do get the stickers plotted--for the sake of your sanity

o my god... im not going to be able to sleep now... way too exited and awed by the most amazing puzzle I have seen to date.

it turns better than the original gigaminx, very nice

you say youre making two more? well... i have this soul that im not really using and would be willing to trade for one.

how much did it cost to make?

i might make more. but for now I need a vacation from casting =)

anyways it cost me $400 in supplies (again, THANKS REEEEECH!!!!)

I am truly amazed about this puzzle.
It looks great + turns great and better than I expected. It is a magnificent accomplishment.
Comparing it with the Gigaminx it also looks even more pleasing. Not that bigger is always better, and perhaps this is due to the original 3*3*3, but it appears to me that this is really ideal in terms of aesthetics.

It really takes some guts to start a project like this and even to report the intermediate steps during the process, which went much faster than I could have imagined.

I am considering to organise a poll on the question whether we should have this ‘beast’ as some would call it (and I don’t mean the cat) at the upcoming Dutch Cube Day, but I believe that I already know the outcome.

It is really awesome. Congratulations!!!

Geert

Thanks Geert!

Just wondering but when is Dutch Cube Day? If I can get this thing stickered by then (or even make a second by then) I'll gladly send it on its way!

Congratulations on this superb achievement. And thanks to Garrett for starting the thread.

HOLY -lost for words-

Wow, if someone were to lend me a gigaminx for an afternoon I'd be happy, but to own a teraminx...
wow

Since it goes so far beyond everything else it would almost be an insult for me to use the much used words I would normally post here. Enjoy these times because it's going to be difficult to top them.

This is unbeliveable , I cant imagine the hard work , patience, and all of the skills that you put into this Godlike puzzle!

I think that you should really think about what you have done here, it is truly history! Congratulations man!!

You did an amazing job!


<<3 Alex

Speechless.

Great job Drew! I'm so happy you finished yours first-there's no way I could have topped that (although I will still attempt to finish mine )

My life is now complete.

That is crazy

This is fantastic. Superb. Unbelievable. Truly and amazing build. What I really want to know though is how you cast the 500 some odd parts in like 2 days. Simply awesome. Congratulations!

Very very impressive!! With the potential of a second or third Teraminx being built, is there the potential of seeing one up for auction?

*speechless*

Thanks again everyone! I didn't even mean to set any historical moment, I just really wanted to have one because of how pretty the a dodecahedron looks! I'm so happy that you are all pleased!

how do I cast 542 pieces in .....3 real days of work? I have multiple pieces for each part. and in a few castes multimple molds of the same pieces. so I'm already working at 3x speed, sometimes I'm going at 6 times speed than the usual 1 piece per cast..... that would be suicide.


*EDIT*

I just knocked it off my desk accidentally..... it fell 3 feet onto wood and rolled across the room....... UNDAMAGED! Woot!

Will there be a "Drewseph abuses a Teraminx" thread coming up

Gotta say that 'beast' is awesome looking!

So when is it going to be stickered?
