Hi,

I'd like to present my first puzzle, the Hexaminx Crystal. The Hexaminx Crystal is the equivalent of a Pyraminx Crystal, but in the shape of a cube, similar to the original Hexaminx. This has been a puzzle I've wanted for a long time, because the Pyraminx Crystal is one of my favourite puzzles. It has curved cuts, because they are required to create this puzzle. Due to the shape transformation, this puzzle shape-shifts when scrambled. The stickers on aren't very good and they fall of too easily, so I might get some better stickers cut and super glue them on. Also when I get better stickers I will probably scramble it, and make a video.

It is available on Shapeways: http://www.shapeways.com/model/527667/hexaminx-crystal.html

There are now stickers available on Olivér's shop: http://speedcubing.hu/webshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_45&products_id=361&language=en


Edit: New stickers! Thanks Oliver for the awesome stickers and great customer service!

Congrats on making your first puzzle. I've been waiting for this to be made ever since the original topic was started by grigr. It looks very cool! Maybe sometime, when I earn enough money, I'll buy one!

P.S. Too bad about the stickers. Shapeways material just doesn't seem to like being stickered!

I like it but the stickering kind of ruins it. You should make Oliver Nagy cut the stickers, it will make it look really good !
This has nothing to do with the shapeways material, it's just the stickers that don't go well with the puzzle.
I really want to see this well stickered because I've always wanted to see a hexaminx crystal !
Can't wait till the next stickers and the video

Very cool, I love the effect that one side is significantly larger than another. You don't get that as much on the hexaminx but on this one it definitely adds a cool dimension to the puzzle.

that's awesome man!

Thanks for the compliments!



This was my plan. I should get the unique sticker design, correct?

Callum

Very nice puzzle! What is the edge length?

After this, one can only think of more cubes you could do with this...
Penultimate?
Higher order penultimates?
Teraminx?
Higher order pyraminx crystal? (Is there even such a thing as a higher order pyraminx crystal?
Kilominx/flowerminx/duominx?
SKEWB ULTIMATE???????

Or what if you did it the opposite way?
Helicopter cube turned dodecahedron?
Curvy copter turned dodecahedron?
CCII turned dodecahedron?

I am sure the Master Pentultimate has been put into cubic form. I can't remember it's name, which is a shame.

A skewb ultimate in cube form would be a skewb though.

Hi,

I got new stickers cut by Oliver and they look great! See the main post for the new pictures.
