@@MuscarV2 you are absolutely correct, my apologies. What I’m trying to say is it’s not a very tempting puzzle other than it’s visual appeal., At least for me it represents something more tedious than pleasant (as a challenge).
I toyed with this type of concept years ago. Tried to get some designs which required specific directions after the initial separation but everything tends to just disintegrate at that point. Scott Elliot made a few of the concepts.
I'm pretty sure the roughness you see on the inside of the pieces are just layer lines. This has nothing to do with the file, but everything with the settings used for the print or the printer or printing material limitations. Keep in mind he only seems to be showing us a prototype in the video.
@@AristophMarloque I believe they had that texture all around, and he hand finished the pieces. The sides of the pieces to actually make them fit, the outside for aesthetics for the video, and skipping the inside because it simply didn't matter for a prototype.
I don't fully get why you said that this is a difficult puzzle. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like solving it "only" consists in finding possible pairs and strands, and then finding the correct combination of the five strands. Is this a naive reasoning? If it's that "simple", I would consider it easier than, say, a soma cube. But I get that there might be some difficulty in the manipulation too (not in the puzzle part of it, more in the dexterity part).
“Morally speaking?” The puzzle has morals? To quote the film The Princess Bride “you keep using that word… I do not think it means what you think it means”

Is this an improvement of the original symmetrical design?
Absolutely! Deceptively difficult.
how is this comment 3 months old??
@@FluffyPrincess888 Oskar is constantly time traveling. It's hard to keep track of it.
@@ag9200 very in character honestly.
@@OskarPuzzle yes indeed. For me, it went from a strand of licorice candy to the inside of a copper wire.
Looks very aesthetic
Definitely a design improvement but also seems a tad more tedious then fun, it’s missing some special sauce to temp one

"To temp one"? Tempt? It's not clear what you were trying to say with that.

I love this if it's done in STL to make it smoother.

@@creatinker Noticing that they're only rough on the insides of the pieces, I though it was intentional ridges to help "lock" the pieces together.

Great puzzle that'll also look cool on your puzzle and game shelf!
The asymmetrical design seems like a great improvement
i am curious to taste it.

Well, the colours go in spectral order.
There's only 24 possible ways to order them, which seems a little too simple. I'd at least try to add a sixth helix.
Great!
looks like a tasty cabdy
Morally speaking this functions a lot like a puzzle with bad manufacturing tolerances. I think puzzle pieces should have identifiable differences.

If you aren’t cognitively deficient you can identify the parts that do and do not go together.
