Helicoptrahedron Puzzle

thingiverse

This is my spin on Traiphum Prungtaengkit's Helicptrahedron, a mind-bending tetrahedral shape transformation of Tom Van Der Zanden's Curvy Copter. This puzzle was 3D printed on a Printrbot Simple Metal in sleek Black PLA, then expertly sanded and polished to perfection. I took it upon myself to design and hand-cut the stickers. I'd love to hear your thoughts! I experimented with a bold CMYK-type color scheme, which unexpectedly gave the puzzle an Easter egg-like appearance. Turning is smooth, although I could have done some additional sanding on the inside for a more seamless finish. The puzzle's edge length measures 100mm, making it quite substantial. Next up, I plan to create a hybrid variation of this puzzle - a move that's all but predictable! Any guesses as to what it will entail?
