A doctrinaire puzzle with two axes with 3-fold rotation and pentagonal pieces, with deeper-than-origin cuts.

Is a simple biaxe with which the inventor wants to pay tribute to the model that inspired the Trapentrix.
After each turn of one axis, there are only two possibilities for the other axis: 120 and 240 degrees. And then again a choice of 120-240.

The puzzle contains 12 pieces:
3 pieces are not interchangeable:
-1 Edge which is linked to the Core
-2 Axes pieces
9 pieces are interchangeable
- 5 edges
- 4 faces
In each movement 7 pieces are moved, 3 of which (1 edge and 2 faces) make up the interchange zone or intersection zone of the 2 movements.

Printed in PETG plastic
Radius of the outer sphere 30.5 mm
Weight: 54 grams
