Description
Geometry:
Diamond Duet is a shape modification of my previous 4 Corners Cube puzzle. This time instead of a cube, the axis system is in an octahedron. The result is this diamond shaped puzzle with two different types of faces. Different pieces are now required to be oriented, making this a new solving challenge.
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: Twelve 12mm M3 pan head screws required, available in hardware stores or on the web.
Springs: Twelve springs needed, available in web puzzle shops. I get mine from HK Now Store.
Degree of Difficulty:
Assembly: Easy to assemble.
Solving: Difficult to solve.
Playability:
Diamond Duet turns very nicely, and the mechanism is stable.
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!
