The name is an allusion to the amazing King of Tetrahedra by Greg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrS4bjjMdpU
A challenge to him to up his tetrahedral game :lol: The stickers ware cut by http://www.chewiescustomstickers.com/ . Thanks for the great job, Jason :)

As for the puzzle, it's a hybrid of Raphaël Mouflin's Tetradiolarian and a tetrahedral Pentultimate witch is a puzzle never done before.



The puzzle consists of 565 pieces and 26 screws and springs.

For a person who puts out such incredible puzzles, your i.materialize shop is woefully unpopulated. Eye of Horus? Asteria? All the others? . . . Coming soon?

Could not agree more. Every time you put out a puzzle I check your shop hoping that it has been updated and that by some miracle I can afford something on it.

Thanks, guys!
About the shop. I don't think Asteria is possible as DIY puzzle. It requires cutting screws and springs and glueing screws. If a random person buy it he will feel scammed.
And it was printed by Xilloc - better quality and cheaper service then i.materialise.
You can always PM me about any puzzle you want. Most people prefer to order through me anyway. The shop made a grand total of 2 sales :)

So why bother with the easier puzzle? :evil: Just jump to the real challenge. Amazing.
I love this community.

Amazing puzzle, send it to SAV as soon as possible for him to do a scramble and solve!

Is this the correct Xilloc?

Yes, this is the xilloc, but I order through their 3d Hub https://www.3dhubs.com/service/55213

Wonderful puzzle !! It takes a lot of nerve to start working on a Pentultimate / deep cut dino hybrid after what my Dino Pentultimate ended like ! :D

I'll try to up my tetrahedron game, it's true that I don't make enough of those ! (The one I'm working on is a tetrahedron atm, but a very simple one)

Keep up the good work !!

To be honest, Greg, I was not sure how to bandage a Pentultimate and the breakthroug moment for me was after I found mechanism pictures of your Helimate like this one

My pentultimate core is almost an exact copy of this :)
