Description
Geometry:
Ivy Dodec is a puzzle based on the idea of extending the theme from Eitan Cher's Ivy Cube. This time the cutting pattern is applied to a rhombic dodecahedron. There are two possible ways that the puzzle could have been sliced. One would be very shallow slices allowing the three-way corners to turn. The other way is to make the slices as deep as possible, allowing the puzzle to turn on the four-way corners. This makes a more difficult puzzle, and is the way the Ivy Dodec is sliced.
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 order the puzzle in the new MJF material, which is lower cost, and it comes dyed black!
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: Easy to assemble.
Solving: Moderately easy to solve.
Playability:
Ivy Dodec turns well, 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!
