The complete Axis platonic Solid FamilyEvery puzzle is completely 3d-printed with mechanism, no extensions.
A normal sized cube (57mm) can be placed exactly inside each shape.



Axis Tetrahedron (413 grams, edge 240)



Axis Octahedron (394 grams, edge 120)



Axis Dodecahedron (165 grams, edge 36mm)


Axis Icosahedron (280 grams, edge 67mm)

Beautiful collection, nice designs as usual. In each case is the rotation angle of the 3x3x3 the same, or have they each been chosen to make the nicest cuts?

Gus, every shape is the smallest convex hull of a standard 57mm cube, where the cube has the pattern/structure of an Axis cube. This defines the cut lines for the Platonics.

The same is also true by the pillowed variant.

I love that pillowed axis cube. What did you use to print them?

Claus,

Your incredible production of absolutely beautiful puzzles is enough to make me want to move to Germany to be able to play with your collection!

Truly beautiful puzzles - thank you!

Argh!
I wondered why you were silent for such a long time and then this.

Double-Argh!
Now I have to decide which have to be added to the museum.
The axis octahedron is an easy case. It already exists:

Dodecahedron and icosahedron are missing and therefore easy to decide, too.

The tetrahedron is a problem:

The cuts are placed differently in your version. Can you upload an image showing the tetrahedron in solved state with two different visible sides?
