Drewseph's Starminx II

This fully 3d-printed SLS puzzle is a Deeper cut Helicopter Dodecahedron. I spent around a week designing the puzzle from 45mm per edge, and gradually realized I had to keep going larger and larger just to get the tiniest pieces large enough to be stable.

Edge Length: 70mm
Weight: 1.13kg

First you made a face-turning Starminx, now you made an edge-turning Starminx. Guess it's only the matter of time until someone makes a corner-turning Starminx.

@artman40 they already have, it's called a Dino dodecahedron

20 axisses of rotation?

does that mean you could make a face-turning icosahedron with this core?

[Drewseph0011]

no, there are 30 axis of rotation

this looks nice but on the same time way too huge for a twisty puzzle, one layer fits in just one palm.

[Drewseph0011]

but that's just it, the layer that needed to turn fits perfectly. this isn't one of the puzzles where you need to grip the whole thing to get it to work. which is pretty nice actually =)

seems a little small, you sure you want drop it and lose it somewhere?

core = face turning rhombic triacontahedron?

[kylemcgrath98]

if that falls off of a table it could kill small animal

[john17972]

It's similar to the helicopter cube. It looks scary hard.

[RubixFreakGreg]

@Drewseph0011 Yeah well you can make a face turning Rhombic Triacontahedron. :)

[RobertCWebb]

Wow, ha, I'm not surprised how big it has to be! I used to imagine how this puzzle could be made. Minus the external parts, you're left with the common compound of 5 cubes, a stellation of the rhombic triacontahedron, with lots of inner stellation chunks to account for. Are they all in there?! Or is there a way to not need them? And it jumbles?! I had no idea it would do that!

And hey, what if you turn 6 non-overlapping slices 90 degrees to get another dodecahedron? Would the other slices lock?

sounds like sand paper XD
