This is a puzzle I've been working on for a while now. It's a Hexaminx with curvy lines. It was designed in CAD, and masters printed by Shapeways. I then made molds with OOMOO 30 and 25, and cast all 82 pcs with Smoothcast 300. Auction link VideoThe turning is really nice and it cuts corners nicely. It's exactly the same size as a V-Cube 5 The vinyl stickers were cut by Dr. Sticker. I can ship internationally for $8.00 USD and domestic, $2.00 through USPS First Class.

Whoa! Looks great. All of these Hexaminxes this year just makes me want to make mine even more. There has been at least 4 this year.

Amazing puzzle! What kind of mechanism did you use? It looks like it turns really well

Another thing I was thinking about, if you extended this into a Megaminx, what would it look like?

That looks and turns very nice! The white in the pictures is blinding! And of course three thumbs up for hexaminx

Looks really nice. This is a significant variation to mine and I am very happy with it.

Garrett wrote: Amazing puzzle! What kind of mechanism did you use? It looks like it turns really well  I used a regular megaminx mech, although it's slanted a lot to prevent pops. If you look at an edge piece, the 2 parts on either side are almost flat. SEBUVER wrote: Another thing I was thinking about, if you extended this into a Megaminx, what would it look like? It would look like a megaminx with the lines curved... outward I think. Sjoerd wrote: That looks and turns very nice! The white in the pictures is blinding! And of course three thumbs up for hexaminx  Thanks! I guess I should have dimmed the blinding white a little.  Tony Fisher wrote: Looks really nice.
