Yogalabacus

Description

Yogalabacus was suggested by Miles Lunger on YouTube in response to the Mastrolabacus puzzle. Yogalabacus combines the concepts of the original Astrolabacus puzzle by John D. Harris, and the Amorphature shapeshifting fidget by Kirill Grebnev. Yogalabacus consists of ten segments: eight wedge-shaped and two T-shaped. 10-mm beads run through the channels of the pieces. The shape of the puzzle can be shifted, after which the channels realign differently. When aligned, the beads can be pushed through the channels. The object of the puzzle is to scramble the multicolor beads, and then to solve the puzzle.

The puzzle comes with a set of 10-mm 3D-printed balls. However, a smoother result is achieved by using these high-precision Delrin 10-mm balls instead.
