Here is my Confusion Pyramid.updated videoAnd Andreas I will get back to you on edge length, and I still don't have a scale, I know, I am a horrible person. Wow didn't realize how bad of turning the first video had. Iwill be posting a new video tomorrow. It moves much better now.

I remember this. Still don't know what it is, though. Possible a rhombic dodecahedron or squished/stretched cube.

KiloMasterPyraminx is a mouthful. Confusion Pyramid is better.

Nice Job!  It reminds me in a lot of ways as a tetrahedral version of the mosaic cube, with regards to the way the angular pieces rotate against one another.

As a side note this puzzle came into being because I was trying to design a Rexamorphix, a beautiful puzzle by traiphum.

I suggested the name because of the ever going on discussion of what a 4x4x4 Megaminx looks like. If that even is a name etc etc. In my head the 4x4x4 Megaminx is the Master Kilominx. Which I think this is a tetrahedron equivalent to.
Putting pyramid into the name is incorrect.
I would call this an OH Tetrahedron.

Epic puzzle Matthew! I for sure would love to see this puzzle on Shapeways. Can I ask why you haven't put many of your recent puzzles up for sale there?

updated video.I don't put puzzles on shapeways for couple reasons. probably won't put any more for sale at shapeways anymore. This is my last new custom puzzle. I have run out of interesting ideas and puzzles take up too much of my time. This puzzle will be for sale soon (just this copy of it I mean) as soon as I figure out how much I am going to ask for it. (forgot how much it cost me lol)

Very nice. Muffet wrote: And Andreas I will get back to you on edge length, and I still don't have a scale, I know, I am a horrible person. At least there are good images... EDIT: Corrected spelling mistake.

I may be a bit late posting, but this reminds me of the mosaic cube. So my name suggestion would be the mosaic tetrahedron?
