Description
Geometry:
Six Spot Cube is a contour-cut variant of Eitan Cher's Ivy Cube. With Six Spot Cube the cutting pattern changed to reveal a circle on each face of the cube, rather than the leaf pattern on the Ivy Cube. The puzzle scrambles and solves in exactly the same way as the Ivy Cube, but the contoured slices add a bit of mystery as it may not be immediately apparent how the puzzle turns.
Please note that the puzzle pieces will come in a sinterbox, which you will need to cut open. The nice thing about this is that you know all the pieces will be there! This also means that it is only available in the basic white material.
Other Items Needed:
Dye: If you want the puzzle to be black, you'll need to dye the pieces yourself with a nylon dye such as RIT or Dylon.
Stickers: Please contact me if you want 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: Very easy to assemble.
Solving: Very easy to solve.
Playability:
Six Spot Cube turns very smoothly, 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!
