I have no idea for stickering. My fingers are to big!

Holy crap! WTF!

Yeah, we need a keychain petaminx.

That is one HUGE megaminx!

Great job! Just out of curiosity, how thin are the corner stems? Did you do anything to strengthen them?

And yet it probably still turns better than most c4u gigas

I'd imagine this is around $25 dollars to print?

As brought up in the (awesome) irc, this has a 20 mm edge length.

i'm sorry but its too small, please make a biger one

enter this to the shapeways competition

for stickering, use pliers!

Personally, I@d use a magnifying glass and tweezers

I would imagine using a straight edge? i think thats what it is you know a really sharp knife but not really a knife. thats what I use to sticker my 3x3 keychain mods

nice build. my fingers aren't too big, but for a suggestion, what I do when i make stickers for my own puzzles is i cut out a piece of vinyl about the size of the face. so if i were doing a replacement for a megaminx, I would cut out a pentagon and put it on the face. then go into the fine tuning. I think when i complete my next puzzle mod (i really am not motivated! i have 3 mods on standby for completion!) im going to make a tutorial for my stickering method (most of my mods have really small stickers that need to be applied!

As I said at the chatroom yesterday:

This puzzle can is so thin, it can be printed with a 2D printer!!!

how do i buy this.... seriously. and how well does it turn.

HAHA I meant tweezers too! or maybe a knife tip or a needle.

A 30mm 4x4x4... A 46mm Gigaminx...

Seriously, what's the deal with such tiny puzzles? I have big hands. The Rubik's keychain is about my limit, but that's not a higher order puzzle.

Are people just trying to hit new nano-milestones?

Although a nano-gigaminx built out of carbon nanotubes and buckyballs would be pretty awesome


BTW, what type screws did you use to hold the puzzle together? M3 would be giant-sized by comparison

I would love to buy one of those if they are not too expensive (my version of expensive is $50+ USD) I have an idea for stickering. first you cover the part of the edges of the gigaminx with tape ( don't cover the whole edge) and then paint the side, that way, you will be able to color the side but still be able to see if the gigaminx is white or black.

This link contains a picture that kind of explains what I mean however it is with a teraminx, not a gigaminx

Very neat puzzle! I love seeing all these nano-puzzles that are being designed.

As for stickering, perhaps have someone custom cut the stickers and then use application tape to apply them?

Ben

Thank you very much to all.

Eitan: The corner stems are not very thin. I do nothing to strengh them.

ulmboy 556: In FDM it cost nearly 45 USD. It is full print.

theVDude: the edge lenght is 20.7 mm

I will try the method of RedRoost80 for the stickering. Thanks to all for the different proposals.

stradust4ever: I need M1.6 screws. M3 are to much to big.

cubeguy314: $50 is enough, but I need 8 hours for assembling. If I want to sell it or upload it to shapeways or build it with FDM I will work out in the next weeks.

This was a very important test for me to build the Petaminx with nearly the same size of pieces.

The turning quality is better than the c4u Tera. It is something between c4u and the v6 cube. It is good enough to start the Petaminx project.

Here some picture. The edge lenght will be 36mm.

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but that's a Petaminx!

Now this is getting totally out of control!!!

Incredible! I'm loving this new trend for so many reasons. Keep up the good work clauswe.

Mini Petaminx? Awesome!

Alex

JOWI = Just one word: Insane!

Upload it to shapeways! please!!!!

(The gigaminx)

Yes its gonna be so awesome! I will buy no doubt! and dont upload the petaminx!! LOL why not?

crazy stuff Claus!

Have you invented this JOWI "ad hoc"?
Anyway, it fits quite well.
Congratulations to Clauswe!

turning like a v-6? I'm convinced, now how much?

wow these are very cool. Are cutting you cutting all of these stickers by hand??? Wow that is going to be some sore fingers. If you need help cutting some stickers let me know.

i will buy both of these. please upload to shapeways. or if not, just let me buy the printed pieces, you dont even have to assemble them for me. this, this has been my dream for well over a year, you are my hero, and i love you........r designs. and you.

Just how in the heck did you get a Petaminx that small? How will you sticker the faces? Aren't you worries about parts snapping?

Incredibly great job.
What do you think - how long will it take until it will really be ready for sale/shapeways print?

My goodness! I HAVE to build myself one of these, especially the petaminx!

And when are we going to see a video?

You could sticker them buy laying one large sticker on the face, then cutting away at the planes. Eastsheen Gigaminx stickering?

Gigaminx looks great so far, and petaminx is very intriguing...
