Description
Geometry:
Celtic Dodecahedron is a puzzle based on the geometry of the deltoidal hexecontahedron. I called it the Celtic Dodecahedron to highlight it's relationship to Eitan Cher's beautiful Celtic Cube, which is based on the deltiodal icositetrahedron. Celtic Dodecahedron is a jumbling puzzle with 60 axes of rotation.
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, or you can have i.materialise dye it for you for a small extra charge (this option is definitely worth it!).
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: Sixty 12mm M3 pan head screws required, available in hardware stores or on the web.
Springs: Sixty springs needed, available in web puzzle shops. I get mine from HK Now Store.
Degree of Difficulty:
Assembly: Moderate skill needed to assemble.
Solving: Very difficult to solve.
Playability:
Celtic Dodecahedron turns very nicely, but should be aligned well before making turns to avoid pops.
Have fun!

Welcome! My goal when designing puzzles is to create geometries that are visually striking and have a complexity belied by their apparent simplicity. Many of my puzzles use odd axis systems, and exhibit strange properties such as jumbling and shape-shifting. Enjoy!
