Well, the second I lost that auction to get the Starminx I got a sudden drive to own one. the only other way I could do that was through designing my own! VIDEO HEREThe total edge length is 34mm. This puzzle was cast using FDM masters, I designed a small spherical megaminx at the center to be used instead of relying on an existing copy. IMHO however Alehs design is far superior, as he had to design everything by hand, that takes an amazing skill with the amount of precision this puzzle requires! So lets all thank Aleh for creating such a wonderful new puzzle for the world!

Very impressive! Can we see the mechanism? Drewseph wrote: This puzzle was printed using FDM masters, You printed the whole thing, or printed masters and cast it?

He doesn't make to many full prints.

Reads title, Did drew win the starminx? Looks at pictures, mhmm it looks smaller? Reads the first post, o no you didn't Very nice work on this one, Is it the same mechanism though as the original? As it is shrunken so much.

-Chris Let me finish that for you. AWESOME! *Caps Lock was necessary* Alex As much as I would love to see this puzzle mass produced, I don't think it's going to happen. At least not any time soon. This would be by a wide margin the most complicated puzzle ever to be mass produced. I've seen the mechanism behind... and it's frightening. eBay will have to due for now Great work as always Drew.
