Excellent as always! Can you compare how the Twisted Starminx turns compared to the various other Starminx (face turning) that have been made? It has the Megaminx corners exposed on some of the faces.

I've noticed on the ones I own the points tend to catch on the hidden Megaminx corner or each other. I have a hunch that if somebody exposed the corners more prominently like in 1.1.4 it would actually turn better and catch less. It seems like the Starminx is in the unfortunate spot of having points that tend to catch and slightly shallower or slightly deeper cuts would avoid the issue that causes them to catch.

Wow! I've never seen the 6x6x6 Octahedron before! That looks incredible! Much nicer than the 5x5x5 Octahedron in my opinion, the proportions on that one were rather strange, but the 6x6x6 version looks brilliant!

Andreas Nortmann · **Posted:** Sat Jan 07, 2012 11:22 am

I haven't seen a Trajbers 6x6x6 yet, too.
That means:
I need images, measurements, weight and the year which was 2011, wasn't it?

Here the missing details:

edge lenght: 110 mm

Thank you Claus.
All images will be added.

There already is an entry for the Finders Ball but that one contains no information at all.
Does anybody know anything about this puzzle?
Can anybody translate the leaflet?

I had a 4-layer "missing link" back in the 80's along with my mom's ideal Rubik's Cube and Meffert Pyraminx. "Missing Link" was my dad's favorite twistypuzzle, and really the only one he could solve. Edit: I see you modded them to make a 3 and a 5. Brravo!

Very good.
I assume the Chaotic Cube is a put-together-puzzle. That would be good because it means I can ignore it...

Claus. You really HAVE to enter your collection here:
http://twistypuzzles.com/cgi-bin/cm-list.cgi
This would give us the opportunity to view your collection as a whole and it would help me finding missing items.

NICE!!! Now I see where a few of my puzzles are going. I see the Thorny Cube below. Just one correction. The one shown here is the Doctor Skewb. The Doctor Cube I hope to put up on eBay soon and then it will be offered in my Shapeways shop sometime after that.

Or what can you build in less than 120 minutes?

You can put a Golf ball inside the Void cube.
You can fused two Void cubes together.
You can cut a edge with a rasor saw out of a void cube and blocked the open ends.
You can resticker a 3x3x3 with a Calendrier Perpetual French set from Oliver's shop and you can
Truncate a Gear Pyraminx like Tony showed in his video.

Andreas, you didn't miss it.

I don't show simple transformations in New Puzzles.

This is a modification of Greg's 3x3x14. I cut the outer layers. The same techniqe I used for the 5x5x7, my 3x3x8 and my 3x3x9.

The size is 60mm x 60mm x 240mm.
