This puzzle is the result of putting internal gears in a master pentultimate, making opposite sides turn in opposite directions for all turns. This puzzle measures approximately 40mm to an edge. To order this puzzle, you must order it in three parts. Part 1: http://www.shapeways.com/model/729226/geary_master_pentultimate_part_1.html Part 2: http://www.shapeways.com/model/755022/geary_master_pentultimate_part_2.html Part 3: http://www.shapeways.com/model/754976/geary_master_pentultimate_part_3.html Additionally, assembling this puzzle requires 72 #4-40 x 3/8” screws, and super glue if you want to glue the caps in place. M3 screws of a similar length are likely to work as well. I can supply you with screws if you are unable to find ones that fit. Contact me if you are interested in a fully assembled, stickered, and dyed version of this puzzle.

This puzzle is a pyraminx that is designed to be faster than the current mass-produced pyraminx design. Using a GuHong type of mechanism, it allows for improved corner cutting and reverse corner cutting. Additionally, this puzzle does not have the "clicking" mechanism of the normal pyraminx, and is much less prone to popping. Ordering this will only give you the plastic parts. You will also need screws, springs, and stickers to complete the puzzle. I used Type A screws and springs, and other sets may work as well, but this is the only set that I can guarantee will work on this puzzle. For stickers, the Cubesmith set of pyraminx stickers is not compatible with this puzzle due to its chamfered edges. Contact me if you need the sticker template to cut the stickers yourself, or alternatively, I can cut a set of stickers for you. I understand that this puzzle is much more expensive that a mass produced pyraminx, but this is because due to the nature of 3d printing being much more expensive than injection molding. Additionally, the finish of the parts is not as smooth as that of mass produced puzzles, but again, this is the nature of the process.

This puzzle uses a similar concept to my previous RRD puzzle, but applies it to the geometry of a rhombic triacontahedron. Like the RRD, it is a vertex-turning puzzle where the cuts are curved and go through the adjacent vertices. This puzzle must be ordered in two parts. Order one of part 1: http://www.shapeways.com/model/298445/rex_rt_part_1.html, as well as one of part 2: http://www.shapeways.com/model/298447/rex_rt_part_2.html. The total cost should come out to $160 in WSF. This puzzle is sold as a kit. Shapeways sends you the plastic parts, and you assemble the puzzle yourself. You will also need screws and stickers. For screws, you will need 32 #4-40 screws, and I recommend using either 1/2" or 3/8" length screws. Contact me for the sticker template if you would like to cut stickers yourself. Additionally, I can cut you a set of stickers on my own cutter for a small fee. If you are having difficulty with assembly, let me know, and I will do my best to explain how the puzzle is put together. Please contact me if you are interested in a fully assembled, stickered, and dyed version of this puzzle.

 This puzzle is a deeper vertex turning rhombic dodecahedron. The puzzle comes as a kit, meaning you must assemble and sticker it yourself. To assemble this puzzle, you will need 14 #4-40x1/2" screws. (M3 screws might work as well, but I have not tested them) I am offering the sticker template for free, but stickers can be ordered from Oliver Nagy's sticker shop.

For more information on and additional pictures of this puzzle, please see the thread at the Twistypuzzles forum: 

To order this puzzle, order one set of the pieces: http://www.shapeways.com/model/214937/rex_rd_pieces.html?gid=ug , and order one core: http://www.shapeways.com/model/214950/rex_rd_core.html?gid=ug , for a total of $139.98.

  READ DESCRIPTION  BEFORE ORDERING - THIS IS NOT A FULL PUZZLE!
This puzzle is a vertex-turning rhombic triacontahedron. It rotates around all 32 verticies, and has 30 sides. The height of the puzzle is 65.6mm. It comes as a DIY kit; Shapeways sends you the plastic pieces, and you assemble and sticker the puzzle yourself. The puzzle requires 32 #4-40x1/2 screws. When designing this puzzle, I designed it around the screws that I had, and these were slotted screws bought from Home Depot. I cannot guarantee that any other screws will fit, as even with these screws, there is probably less than 0.5mm between the screws and the cuts. If you are unable to find screws that fit, I am willing to purchase screws that I know will work, and ship them to you.

To order this puzzle, you must order one core: http://www.shapeways.com/model/212561/drt_core.html?gid=ug27985
and one of the rest of the pieces (this model): http://www.shapeways.com/model/212562/drt_other_pieces.html?gid=ug27985
The total should come to $89.98. The stickers can be ordered from Olivér Nagy: http://speedcubing.hu/webshop/ (the template is not currently listed on his site, but you should be able to contact him for stickers). If you would like the template so that you can cut them yourself, or if you are interested in a fully assembled, stickered, and dyed version of this puzzle, please contact me.

These parts can be glued on to a regular V-cube 6 to make a pillowed V-cube 6 with the same size and shape as a V-cube 7.

NOT YET PROTOTYPED - This is one of my few designs that is not a puzzle. It is an icosahedron composed of 12 interlocking objects. The design should print as a whole, and it should also remain connected unless a lot of force is put on the object. To my knowledge, such an object has not been made before, but please correct me if I am wrong.

This puzzle is shaped like a cheese wheel with three cuts going through it. It has a diameter of 50mm and a height of 20 mm. This comes with all of the parts necessary to build this puzzle, but you will need super glue to assemble it, and you will need to either sticker it or dye it. The second picture shows the puzzle dyed and assembled. The pieces (except for the core) are split into two halves so that they can be dyed independently, so that they can be hollow, and so that the two halves of the centers can be glued together onto the core such that they fit and rotate around it. The puzzle turns smoothly, and no sanding is required. If you have questions about assembly or are interested in a fully assembled and dyed or stickered puzzle, please contact me.

This is an improved version of my Inverted 1x2x3 puzzle. (see here for info on the previous version: http://www.shapeways.com/model/106599/inverted_1x2x3.html) The differences between the first version are that the pieces are more hollow (resulting in a cheaper print cost), the pieces have tolerance (no sanding is required to assemble the puzzle), the puzzle uses an improved mechanism that prevents pieces from popping out, and the center pieces no longer require a nut to hold them together (you just need a #4-40 screw to screw the centers together). Other than this, the two are identical.
