Description
Geometry:
Tridot is a highly curved cut version of my previous HeliPrism 6 Curvy puzzle. It is slightly easier since some pieces are eliminated by the curved cuts. Be careful though, this puzzle does have some bandaging that is very hard to see as the dots become nearly invisible at times. The puzzle has six axes, one at each 90 degree edge. Because the axis system is based on the triangular dipyramid, every move is a jumbling and shape-shifting move.
Other Items Needed:
Dye: I recommend buying the puzzle in black from i.materialise. They do a fantastic job for very little extra cost.
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: Six 12mm M3 pan head screws required, available in hardware stores or on the web.
Springs: Six springs needed, available in web puzzle shops. I get mine from HK Now Store.
Degree of Difficulty:
Assembly: Moderately easy assembly.
Solving: Moderately easy to solve.
Playability:
Tridot turns very easily, and the mechanism is very 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!
