LunaMinx Puzzle

Description

Geometry:

LunaMinx is a puzzle based on an alternate sweet spot for the pentagonal trapezohedron. This particular alternate geometry was discovered after the development of the previous GallaTrap puzzle. Matt Galla confirmed the ability of the LunaMinx to scramble, and helped name the new puzzle. Curved cuts were used for the LunaMinx in order to give all pieces a robust connection to the mechanism. Despite being an alternate sweet spot geometry, LunaMinx can scramble quite thoroughly, and has a very unusual 180 degree jumbling move!

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

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

Degree of Difficulty:

Assembly: Easy to assemble.

Solving: Very difficult to solve.

Playability:

LunaMinx turns very nicely, and the mechanism is stable.

Have fun!
