About last week I asked a random kid at school for his Rubik's Cube and surprisingly he said I could have it. So I've spent the last week or so trying to build a Trajber's Octahedron.

It is actually very difficult to get all the sides sanded down the same amount. Anyone know a way to get it perfect?

Since today is Thanks Giving here I'm going to take a break from it but I expect it to be done by Sunday.

Not too bad. IMO it's looks like a hard puzzle to make. The corners are half-truncated-cube corners but the centers and edges look hard.

It looks like you truncated a little further than the conventional Trajber's Octahedron.

Good luck!!

I visited Josef Trajber in December 2006. He is a very kind person.
He had only one copy of his own invention left.
He wanted to give it to me, but I refused.

Have fun,

Sorry about the delay on building it. I have been working on a paper cube. (see pictures) It has taken me a long time and I still have a couple cubies still not finished. I took a break for a while after working on that also.

It took me a while to fill in all the cracks and even then I still had some imperfections. I spent last night and this morning spray painting it.

I found that duct taping a small amount of sand paper to a plastic glove is really effective when having to sand small tight areas.

Anyone know how to make odd shaped stickers easily?

Don't overlook the convenience (luxury) of a sanding sponge, like the one in this picture from Harbor Freight. The angled ones fit nicely into cracks for fine sanding, as shown here.


I don't know if Harbor Freight's sanding sponges are any good, but they're certainly cheap. But 3M's sanding sponges are good enough to be washed and re-used many times.

Heres the puzzle partly stickered. I only had 6 colors. I ordered cyan and pink vinyl sheets from cubesmith.com about an hour or so ago.

Its a confusing solve!

PS. How much do you think this would go for on the market?

PPS. The yellowish thing on the green stickers on solved is a reflection of a lamp.

Not to bad, but I think that you should get out these sticker, make new one with a rules and scizor, make it perfect and same size. It'll look great.

One problem with the stickers I had was that the pieces were actually a different size. Like the face of one edge was 2 cm while another was 3.

The stickers seem to cost too much for me to scrap them though..

hey man what i do is i go to a local sign shop and ask them to give me scrap vinyl i just say its for a college project and they are always happy to give me more than enough you should try it out, that way you can practice making stickers

Thanks

Holy crap!!! That's the best stickering I've seen in ever!! Wow!

Yeah I would buy it from you. How much would you like to sell it to me for???

I'm not really sure. how much are you willing to pay?
