Product Description
Geometry:
Tetracopter 12XD is similar to my previous Tetracopter 12 puzzle. However, the Tetracopter 12XD has deep cuts on the 90 degree axes where the original Tetracopter 12 had shallow cuts. Like the previous puzzle, Tetracopter 12XD does not jumble, but it certainly shape-shifts! Tetracopter 12XD has a total of twelve axes, one at every edge. Moves on these axes can be combined in any order, if bandaging allows. The puzzle is very complex to solve due to the constant shape shifting and bandaging.
Other Items Needed:
Dye: If you want the puzzle to be black, you can dye the pieces with a nylon dye such as RIT or Dylon.
Stickers: Template available in the "Tips & How-tos" forum. If you want professionally cut stickers, I recommend Oliver’s Stickers or Chewie's Custom Stickers. Use a hair dryer or other heat source to get the curved stickers to conform to the spherical surfaces.
Screws: Eleven 12mm M3 pan head screws required, available in hardware stores or on the web.
Springs: Eleven springs needed, available in web puzzle shops. I get mine from HK Now Store.
Degree of Difficulty:
Assembly: Relatively easy to assemble.
Solving: Very difficult to solve.
Playability: Tetracopter 12XD turns easily, although care must be taken to keep pieces aligned.
Have fun!
