Warning, this video is very long. Please have some time to spare!
Here, I unbox the Fully Functional Tom Z = MF8 3x4x5 twisty puzzle from www.hknowstore.com. I really ramble in this video, so I'm deciding to make another review soon. I got to learn how to get everything down in a short period of time.
Anyways, the puzzle came un-stickered, which was disappointing to me, as I just wanted to open it up and scramble it. It came with application tape but I found it cumbersome to use so I stickered most of it the CubeSmith style. It came very loose to my liking, the pieces were catching on one another, so I tightened it and it turned out very nice. In this case, the mass produced version is worse than the 3d printed prototype. But when Oskar Van Deventer designs a puzzle and it gets mass produced, most of it, with the exception of the Mosaic Cube, turned out better than the 3d printed prototype. Btw, Tom Z first designed a 3x4x5, and MF8 designed it themselves, but they were kind enough to give Tom a credit as for being the first to design it. It is only available in black body, on the hknowstore, mefferts, and shop.mf8.com.cn. Overall, the puzzle turns very smoothly, and I highly recommend it, to those who already touched the basic cuboids such as the 1x2x3, 2x2x3, 2x3x3, 3x3x4. If you know how to solve a rubik's cube and a 3x3x4, you should be able to figure this one out.
How long did the shipping take?

@Qevehn This was a pre-order, so it took 1 month. Normal free hknowstore shipping takes about 2-3 weeks.

it looks like a pretty crappy puzzle from this video... is it poppy normally and really locky off the video ?

@haribo41296 If you tighten it, it is fine, but out of the box is way too loose.
