A crazy face turning deltoidal icositetrahedron plus with additional unbandaging cuts in the central circles.

This puzzle is a face turning deltoidal icositetrahedron plus with circles integrated in the twentyfour sides and additional unbandaging cuts in the center circles.
The behavior of the centers is configurable. The initial version shown here has a group of 4 sides with fixed centers (0-faces). The rest of the faces have the circles turning together with the outer pieces (1-faces).
The FTDI++ pretty closely resembles the doderhombus plus and rhomdo plus, so the inventor was inspired to make a crazy version of a hypothetical FTDI+ (not implemented yet) which lacks the second set of plus cuts. I also extended the central circles out a bit from the kite shape at the center of the face to open up the small petal pieces. From there the inventor also added additional unbandaging cuts to the center, giving the pattern on the final version of the puzzle.
The placement of the petals is close to a perfect 11-way symmetry.

Printed with Overture PLA+ on a modified Anycubic Kobra Neo.
