Hi Everyone,
I'm pleased to say that I have fully redesigned my Pentamid Puzzle for the Shapeways process, and it is now available for sale in my
shop.
The Pentamid puzzle is based on the geometry of the pentagonal dipyramid. It turns on the five edges around the equator of the puzzle, as well as on the two polar vertices. Each vertex can turn in increments of 72 degrees, while the edges are limited to 180 degree turns. The Pentamid puzzle becomes scrambled fairly quickly with just a few turns. Here's the
video.
Here are a few pictures of the new version:
