Hi Shapeways fans, Gear Planet was suggested by Ferdinand Lammertink. Ferdinand is best know as the inventor of several Thinkfun puzzles, including Backspin and Port-to-Port and recently Perilous Pipes by Popular Playthings. Gear Planet has 11 tiles. There is a gearing&sliding mechanism for scrambling the tiles. The object is to get them all back in order. Experts may recognize some similarity between the gearing of four tiles, and the up-and-down mechanism of Port-to-Port. Watch the YouTube video. Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop. Read more at the Twisty Puzzles Forum. Check out the photos below. Enjoy! Oskar
