Truncated Rhombic Dodecahedron Puzzle

thingiverse

Update 11/6/17: This design is no longer printable as it stands today. Originally created with Solidworks 2003, but later edited in 2015, I made some critical mistakes in building the mechanism. The clearances are way too large for this to be a playable puzzle at all. This is a unique 1x2x3 puzzle that has been redesigned into the shape of a Truncated Rhombic Dodecahedron. The base idea behind this design is, just as the name implies, essentially a simple 1x2x3 split along both top and bottom layers so they can be turned after each 90-degree rotation instead of standard 180 turns. Due to this distinct feature, solving difficulty matches that of a 2x2x3 with middle layer constraints.
