Description

Geometry:

Collider Tetrahedron is a puzzle based on the geometry of the triakis tetrahedron. It has 12 axes of rotation; three on each face, or two at each edge of the cube. Each axis can stop at any of four places where adjacent turns can be made. But watch out for collisions between the pieces as they turn and get in each other's way! This overhang bandaging makes the puzzle trickier to solve.

 

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 an extra charge.

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: Four 12mm M3 pan head screws required, available in hardware stores or on the web.

Springs: Four springs needed, available in web puzzle shops. I get mine from HK Now Store.

 

Degree of Difficulty:

Assembly: Moderate skill required to assemble.

Solving: Moderately difficult to solve.

 

Playability:

Collider Tetrahedron turns very nicely, and the mechanism is stable.

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!
