Gift Pyramid

Buy at http://www.shapeways.com/model/124991/gift_pyramid.html Copyright (c) 2010, M. Oskar van Deventer. Gift Pyramid is a pyramid-shaped twisty puzzle that can be taken apart when solved. It has a little spherical cavity that can contain a small object.

This puzzle was commissioned by Darryl Suskin, who used it for a wedding proposal to his girlfriend Michelle. On Thursday 5 August, Darryl gave Michelle the Gift Pyramid with ring, she opened, he proposed, she accepted and they lived happily ever after.

Darryl insisted he wanted to print and apply the stickers himself, which is why I sent him a puzzle without stickers.

This puzzle was 3D-printed using nylon-powder SLS technology, which explains its price. It is the very first prototype, costing its designer and maker a lot of money to create. Please do not confuse it for a cheap mass-produced puzzle.

Has it got stickers? You can´t make it without them

[OskarPuzzle]

@gamaespacio You can also order it with a set of stickers from Dr. Sticker.

That was so hilarious, it's scrambled with no stickers, this should've been posted April first.

Now getting serious, why exactly is it more expensive than the gift cube? seems to me the gift cube has more cubic centimeters of printing.

[OskarPuzzle]

@NIKOA53 The mechanism of Gift Pyramid inside is more complex, requires more layers and hence more printed volume.

@OskarPuzzle can you make a gift 2x2x2 or gift tony fisher goden cube plz

@OskarPuzzle

[CLavants]

@OskarPuzzle I have a question, when you put the gift pyramid together, you said that when its solved you can open it, but the pyramid had no stickers on it and you mixed the pyramid up so now how is Darrel going to be able to solve it?

[DavidTricker1]
