A non truncated version of Bygride-3-4 with different cuts.

TriQuad is a doctrinaire two axes twisty puzzle first mentioned here by Bram Cohen where he simply calls it (3, 4, 1/3). One axis allows 120 degree rotations, so it has 3 stops. The other axis allows 90 degree rotation, so it has 4 stops. If you apply one 90 degree rotation, and then return a corner to its original location with a following 120 degree rotation, this corner will have been rotated 120 degree, or 1/3 of a complete rotation.
The axis system is the same as Bygride-3-4 but with different cuts, a different shape and one additional piece type (the 5 corners). This one has a shape with nine sides. The puzzle is almost equivalent to Brammed Block but the latter has some equally stickered pieces.
Diagonal: 99 mm
Weight: 119.3 grams

The puzzle has 1317834474769612800000 = 1.32*10^21 permutations. The puzzle is already stickered like a Super variant.
Compared with the number available if the puzzle can be disassembled and reassembled there are these restrictions:
-The orientation of the last corner is determined by the other four.
-The permutations of the trapeziums are always even.
-The orientation of the square tip and the permutations of the corners have the same parity.
-The orientation of the square tip and the permutations of the edges have the same parity.
-The orientation of the square tip and the permutations of the triangles have the same parity.
