I would like to present my latest puzzle, the Circle/Crazy Meteor Madness (I'm not sure which of the terms most accurately describes it).

Circle/Crazy Meteor Madness is as the name suggests a Circle/Crazy variant of Oskar's Meteor Madness puzzle, a semi-unbandaged face turning triangular bipyramid.

In its current configuration it has one 1 face (white) and five 0 faces, though the configuration can be changed.

Because of some minor mistakes on my part, the puzzle isn't able to be tightened very well meaning it is a bit locky, so I may have to revisit the design in the future.

It is about 34mm to an edge and weighs about 60 grams.

Post #7 and a second incredible design!

Another WOW :D

I'm sure that there is a reason that this puzzle carries Madness in its name. :wink:

Wow! After seeing jiroscops' crazy FTRD I've been intrigued by circle jumbling puzzles. For this one I quite like the appearance of little "stored cuts" on the square-ish faces.

Very nicely done! As you might guess, I'm a big fan of the trigonal dipyramid geometry, so this is great to see it taken to another level.

I'll also second 5284973's comment about the stored cuts on the square-ish faces, that's quite a nice touch.

Would love to see a video of this one too!
Dave

I am a huge fan of Oskar's space series (Asteroid Attack, Crazy Comet, Meteor Madness, etc.), and this looks just amazing. Well done!

Way smaller than I have imagined. Is it screwless?

It does use screws, but I can get away with the small size because the centres are quite large relative to the pieces.

I have finally gotten round to stickering up the improved version 2 of this puzzle that I have had sitting on my shelf for a good 2-3 weeks now. It turns much better than the original and is a fair bit larger at 50mm to an edge.
