It was made from a genuine Rubik's 2x2x4 Tower. The 2 inner layers were bandaged to transform it into a disproportional 2x2x3. It was then "Fisher Cubed" 45 degrees and cut down/built up into a rhombic dodecahedron. I used 1mm and 1.5mm polystyrene sheet. Stickers were hand-cut and 12 colours used. Attachment:

Wow, it took me a long time to see how that was a 2x2x3. Looks great.

This is a really great puzzle, very clean build. Do you ever plan on making a version that isn't bandaged? I could see the shapeshifting adding a whole new dimension to the puzzle.

wow, I just don't understand how the 2x2x3 is in this puzzle... but with each piece having one color, you probably changed the difficulty of this puzzle quite a bit, not to mention the trouble of seeing all the layers...

I only made the 2x2x3 version because I like the novelty value of a cuboid shape-mod having the same pattern on every side and that wouldn't occur with the 2x2x4. I think an identical looking puzzle could be made by bandaging the 2x2x1 extensions on a Rhombiminx. elijah wrote: wow, I just don't understand how the 2x2x3 is in this puzzle... but with each piece having one color, you probably changed the difficulty of this puzzle quite a bit, not to mention the trouble of seeing all the layers... I made a diagram which should help. Attachment:

Wow!  Great idea and nicely done, too. I like the symmetric look. How did you manage to come up with something like that? Then again, as far as I recall you've always managed to come up with such incredible transformations. Nice job!

Without the description it would have been impossible to recognize what it was made from. Very cool!
