Geometry:
GallaTrap is a puzzle based on geometry developed by Matt Galla. The shape is similar to my previous Jumble Trap puzzle, but the trapezohedron has been shortened to an alternate sweet spot to allow the puzzle to scramble. This gives the puzzle very different properties form the Jumble Trap, despite the similarities to the two shapes.
Other Items Needed:
Dye: If you want the puzzle to be black, you can dye the pieces yourself with a nylon dye such as RIT or Dylon.
Stickers: Please contact me for the sticker template. If you want professionally cut stickers, I recommend
Oliver’s Stickers or
Chewie's Custom Stickers.
Screws: Eight 12mm M3 pan head screws required, available in hardware stores or on the web.
Springs: Eight springs needed, available in web puzzle shops. I get mine from
HK Now Store.
Degree of Difficulty:
Assembly: Takes moderate skill to assemble.
Solving: Very difficult to solve.
Playability:
GallaTrap turns very nicely, and the mechanism is stable.
Have fun!
