Mandala Cube

Description

Geometry:

Mandala Cube is a puzzle based on the geometry of the disdyakis dodecahedron. It has 48 axes of rotation; eight on each face, or four at each edge of the cube. Each axis can initially stop at any of six places where adjacent turns can be made. The puzzle features overhang bandaging along with crazy jumbling, making it an extreme challenge to solve.

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 an extra charge.

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: 48 12mm M3 pan head screws required, available in hardware stores or on the web.

Springs: 48 springs needed, available in web puzzle shops. I get mine from HK Now Store.

Degree of Difficulty:

Assembly: Inside out core requires skill and dexterity to assemble.

Solving: Very difficult to solve.

Playability:

Mandala Cube turns very nicely, and the mechanism is stable.

Have fun!
