A jumbling-only puzzle with three different types of turns.

The puzzle presented here is designed by splitting the Dino Pentagonal Bifrustum (see the seperate entry) into two halves on its equator. Now one more type of piece can move around but the puzzle is still easy to solve.
Unlike its predecessor, this puzzle is FDM-printed. Inside-out core is used since it seems to be a natural choice when the core is split into two halves. The inventor also tried inserting magnets during the print, which is fun but not significant for improving turning quality.
The puzzle allows for three different turns: ten corner turns, five edge turns, one equatorial turn.
At first one might think the puzzle is doctrinaire but it is a jumbling.only puzzle. The jumbling angles of the ten corners turns with three stops are ~118 degrees and ~124 degrees. This can be seen from the top left corner of the image 5.

Edge lengths (short): 32 mm
