Inspired by the four colored Dino cube on ebay I made this sticker variation, I couldn't find it in the Puzzle Database. Has anyone else made one of these? It's pretty much a non morphing Master Pyramorphix, kinda fun to play with too.

hmm, maybe it MIGHT look a bit better on a fisher cube... because of the diagonal turning. but overall that, it's great mike ^^

Ah yes, I figured somebody had to have done it, I just couldn't find it.

I like it. I'd love to make one myself but at the moment I can't do my own stickers so I'll have to wait!

I just cut some diagonally and put them on one at a time. Tweezers really help, at least for me. These are cubesmith vinyl stickers that I used, and it was easier than I thought it would be.

good luck!

This mode is a simple way of making a puzzle isomorphic to another puzzle as shown by the picture below. I can't remember who built the tetrahedric version of it though.

Cheers

I thought I mentioned that in the first post of this thread.

I know Carter has built a couple of beautiful examples.

Sorry, I didn't realize this tetrahedric puzzle was the "Master Pyramorphix".
Of course you are right. I think the picture is usefull for those of us that weren't sure what the "Master Pyramorphix" is...
