A very simple hybrid puzzle that combines one skewb turn with three curvy copter cuts.

The inventor conceived this puzzle in the 90s, it could finally been materialized thanks to 3D printing and the availability of time to design, manufacture, stickered and document it.

In this hybrid the hexahedron corner turning cut (aka skewb turn) has three stops (120�), but in order to free the movement of the other cuts one halves of the cube must be rotated 60�.
Curvy copter cuts only have 2 stops (180�)

It is the precursor model of a series of puzzles that are all based on the same idea. Although later puzzles in the series have more complex axis systems this one is practically equivalent to a triangular prism or more specific to a "2 Layer Gimmick", please refer to the separate entry.
Piece type signature: PIIIp[T3/][]
Made with a resin printer.
Edge length: 40 mm

Image 8 shows the version from 2021 that was the result of a collaboration with Jason Gavril.
