    This is incredible, I can't even fully wrap my mind around this shape or how the puzzle works tbh.

    If this series of "oids" goes on forever, we'll soon have an infinitoid.

    You could try graphite powder or a Teflon coating to reduce friction if you haven’t already

      @@nolantoney4577 yah, I'm currently using low weight silicone lubricant because it works particularly well with plastics. I haven't tried other stuff yet.

    Incredible! I wonder if those 12 sided pieces would be orientable if you made their orientations distinguishable.

      I believe so. I've been working on a tutorial for the faceted twist (shapemod of Krystian's twist) and the pentagons there can be oriented different ways. It doesn't dramatically change the solution process though, it just adds an extra step at the beginning.

    Love the name, and the geometry looks fascinating!
    Funny enough, a month ago I helped a friend set up his Anycubic Kobra Neo, and was not left with a positive impression of the printer. How did yours break?

      The power supply burned out right after I'd been dealing with the print bed randomly becoming unresponsive some of the time. It seemed like some kind of wiring issue, but it probably didn't help that I'd been printing some CPE with the heated bed at 110 and hotend at 260.
      The Kobra Neo was great for me, but only after some critical modifications. I had to replace the bed standoffs with springs, and upgrade the part cooling fan and duct (among other things). The original bed standoffs in particular are a terrible design that prevents using the whole print area, but replacing them with springs and bolts only costs a couple dollars. With the upgrades I had it running nearly nonstop for nearly two years with great results. Aside from the critical design flaw it was a terrific printer.

      Hahahaha, joking aside, that may actually be more practical than a lot of my designs. If I remember right, the assembly process on this one was not bad, the turning quality is only okay though. In order to get it working right it had to sit on the shelf for a few weeks to settle and also it had to be lubricated using a lower-weight lubricant than I usually use.

    This looks related to Oskar's rockets that switch orientation.

      Oh yah, it's totally a similar vibe when jumbling. In this case it's a bit of an illusion caused by the stickering/mechanism. The purple/orange/green big triangle is internally the base piece and its orientation does not change relative to the core. That's not always obvious when turning it though.
