Hexalabacus

Description

Hexalabacus was suggested by Pantazis Houlis. It is a twisty puzzle inspired by John D. Harris' classic Astrolabacus puzzle. Each of the six segments of Hexalabacus has six channels. The puzzle can be twisted, which results in a rearrangement of the channels. The beads slide through the channels. The object of the puzzle is to scramble it and then solve it.

The puzzle comes with a set of 10-mm 3D-printed balls. However, a smoother result is achieved by using these high-precision Delrin 10-mm balls instead.
