Buy at http://www.shapeways.com/model/113356/cooksey_maze.html Copyright (c) 1970/2010, Richard Cooksey /M.Oskar van Deventer. Cooksey Maze is a maze concept invented by an Englishman named "Mr. Richard Cooksey" in the 1970's. An evolved metal+plastic version with springs and pins was prototyped by Pentangle, but it was never taken in production. Oskar has been trying to locate Cooksey for quite some time, as the original "Cooksey Cilinder" has been an inspiration for many of Oskar's puzzle designs. This is a modified version of the original Cooksey Cylinder with a much simplified mechanism.

Earn a free Cooksey Maze if you can bring Oskar in contact with the original inventor of this maze concept. I know nothing more than his name, the fact that he is an Englishman, and that he already was an adult in the 1970's. Also the people who operated Pentangle in the 1970's do not have more identifying information.

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.

  • $80!?!? it costs like 10 dollars to produce such a rip off

  • @MrGoofy505 Ah,again a newcomer to my YouTube channel. Please be welcome to browse around. Perhaps you learn a bit about 3D-printing,its pricing structure,and the difference between a mass-produced product and a one-off prototype.

  • I Bet you can't solve all your pricey cubes

  • @MrGoofy505 80 bucks is a bargain for prototyping. Thanks to rapid prototyping tech inventors and artists can create objects for tens or hundreds of dollars instead of thousands.

  • @OskarPuzzle Actually I think it's nice that you are not mass producing your products in a world where everything is made in China and is meant to be thrown away. It is also nice that you are supporting local manufacturers and economy while keeping your products more rare and valuable. They're a bit out of my price range, but I suppose if you get enough people to sign up and buy something you can reduce the cost without having to go to China? Keep up the good work, all your videos are enjoyable

  • Dang, you look gangsta.
