Pyraminx Magic Barrel (Junior)
Above:Solved
Click a thumbnail to see its larger version and description.
A reduced cylindrical triangular prism. It was realized 41 years after its announcement.

Originally shown in the 1982 catalogue, "PYRAMINX" by Uwe Meffert. Uwe has claimed that this item only ever existed as a cardboard mockup.
With the advent of 3D printing all mockups from the catalogue were turned into reality but somehow the Junior Barrel was overlooked. We can only speculate about the reasons but one guess would be that it was the easiest of the puzzles. It is basically a shape variant of the Floppy Cube.
That was until Andreas Nortmann challenged Claus Wenicker to close that gap. The result is shown here.
Piece type signature: PII2m[O T1 X2][]
Diameter: 60 mm
Height: 60 mm
