About this puzzle
The SuperX was first made by Adam Cowan in December 2006. However, the puzzle was very squishy and the pieces would get out of alignment often. He later tried to improve upon his design by using ball bearings and while this helped a little, the puzzle was also not stable. Later, Andrew Cormier designed a more stable variant with a mechanism that was more like a V-Cube. This puzzle also was squishy, and he later designed a version with magnets to help keep the pieces aligned. Various copies with/without magnets have later been hand built by various builders.  Finally, I have designed a version that does not use magnets but uses a clicking mechanism, like that found on a V-Cube 6 to keep the pieces aligned. While the puzzle does not turn as well as Andrew's copy, it saves on the cost and effort of gluing in magnets (magnets don't really adhere well to superglue so they frequently fall out of the puzzle). All previous SuperX's have been built by layering a Dino Cube on to a 2x2x2. My version is the first to use a fundamentally different mechanism. It uses the same mechanism as my Dino 3x3x3, which means the pieces are not just supported from the corners but also from the (internal) edges.

The puzzle turns quite well and is completely stable, but obviously there is the clicking which is slightly more pronounced than on a VCube 6. The pieces have a tiny amount of wiggle room, but the clicking mechanism keeps them in place really well.

Buying information
Ordering this model will get you a DIY kit with all the plastic pieces necessary to build a SuperX, which you will need to assemble yourself. It does not come with the necessary stickers or screws as Shapeways cannot supply. You can purchase stickers from www.dr-sticker.com. The screws can be had from any hardware store, you need M3 screws, about 10-15mm long.
A warning beforehand: this is one of the most tricky to assemble puzzles I've designed. It will also need a good amount of lubrication and breaking in before it will turn as good as the one in my video. I have also increased the fillet radius to prevent locking up, this results in slightly larger gaps near the center than pictured.

If you do not feel like assembling your puzzle yourself, you can also order a fully finished copy from me for a price that is slightly higher than Shapeways', but you miss out on all the fun of assembling your own puzzle! For this service, contact me at tom@tomvanderzanden.nl.

NUR verwenden, wenn die Originalfeder noch vorhanden!!! Siehe Bild des Originalteiles, ansonsten andere Version (z.B. mit eingebauter Feder verwenden). --- Zum Ersetzen den Deckel der Armlehne ausbauen (dabei die beiden Halter des Deckels zusammendrücken und den Deckel aus der Armlehne herausdrehen). Den Deckel vom Stoff trennen; mit einem Spachtel Stoffteil und Deckel trennen, in dem man einfach zwischenhineinfährt und die beiden Teile auseinanderdrückt. Das Unterteil ist seitlich 6 x geklipst (siehe Bilder), es reicht aber, wenn man nur die ersten beiden Klipse öffnet um die Verriegelung zu tauschen. Achtung, hier ist eine Feder, die gerne wegspringt! Feder in das Ersatzteil einsetzen (siehe Bild), dann Ersatzteil mit Feder wieder einsetzen. Dabei zuerst die Feder am Deckel einhaken und dann die beiden Pins rechts und links in die Lagerbuchsen einschnappen lassen, dann den Deckel wieder zusammen Klipsen. In der Nähe der Lagerbuchsen sind je eine Klebestelle, hier gegebenenfalls mit Sekundenkleber für mehr Haftung sorgen. --- Auf Anfrage auch gerne mit individuellem Logo oder Design!

Black Strong & Flexible, ideal color for dark / black interior. ONLY use THIS if the original spring still exists! See picture of the original part. Otherwise use different version (eg "with includes spring”). --- To replace lid of the armrest, disassemble armrest by squeezing the two holders of the armrest and remove. Separate the cover from the fabric, by using a putty knife cloth, the lower part is at the side clipped 6 times (see pictures). Just open the first two clips to replace the lock. Attention, here is a spring that likes to jump away! Insert spring into the spare part (see image), then first hook the spring on the cover, and then the two pins can be snap left and right into the bushes, then clip the lid back together. Clips near the bushes are each a splice, here glue if necessary with super glue for more liability. --- On request we can do with customized logo or design. In the pictures are the original part with taped ribs and the part in Black Strong & Flexible and Coral Red Strong & Flexible. This part is also available with Audi rings, A4 or quattro inscription!

Assembly Video

NOTE: This is a kit to build a toy inspired by the Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed 3. This kit is designed specifically as a con-safe cosplay prop. The end of the prop is squared-off and blunt and is therefore in no way intended to create a potentially dangerous weapon. Any modification to the design as sold is outside the recommendation and responsibility of the creator and manufacturer of this kit.

GoPro tripod mount At first it's designed as the lighter possible tripod mount for a naked GoPro. The camera it´s hold in possition by rubber bands and it´s prepared to be used with the HD case lens protector, so can be, for example, in a UAV. The base it´s designed so you can mount it over a RC Servo, making a 1DOF POV camera pretty easily. This is a special version and its taller so you can attach the rubber bands even when mounted in a flat surface. Thats why its more voluminous and directly by that, more expensive :(

This is a brake or gear cable stop designed for use on a bamboo, wooden or carbon fibre bicycle where fittings such as these need to be glued and screwed on, rather than welded. This cable stop has two countersunk screw holes with 3mm diameter to allow for a M3 screw to be used to affix to the bicycle frame. The bottom of this cable stop is curved for tubing 35mm in diameter, so it's suitable for use on down, top and seat-tubes. See my other smaller diameter design for use on seat and chain stays

Requires 3 #6x1/2" wood screws for mounting. Grey Robust material is suggested.

This weapon will work with any 5mm fist hole. It also has a 3mm alternate peg so it can be used on either the G2P-005b Tech Spec or the G2P-005a Chromehead parts. It is a scaled recreation of Generation 1 Chromedome's handguns, though it will probably not work with the original toy.
