5x5 Hexagonal Prism Twisty Puzzle (Printed Extensions Only, No Cutting Required)

thingiverse

Files are back, and I completed mine! IMPORTANT: Print the inner three layers as-is. You need to scale the top and bottom layers in ONLY THE Z AXIS. How to find out how much: (X/Y) = (1/12) whree Y = the thickness of top/bottom layers on your puzzle. Solve for X to get your scale. In other words, ((Y * 1) / 12) or (Y / 12). --If using Shengshou, Y = 13. Scale by 1.08333. This is a tested and perfect fit!-- Theres a bit of a hexagonal prism trend going on in the twisty puzzling community. I have not seen a 5x5 version yet. So here's mine. A 5x5 puzzle with pieces 12.05mmx12.05mm will work. As it happens, the New Shengshou 5x5 is what I designed this for. Note that it is listed and sold as a 64mm cube, but the pieces are not 64mm/5 pieces. Just get the shengshou 5x5, or measure your 5x5's pieces. If you print all the extensions, you will not need to cut/sand/fill any parts of your 5x5. The finished puzzle will have an approximate width of about 88.5mm and a height of 64mm, with an edge length of 50.8mm. Make sure your printer is calibrated before printing. You can print each of the 90 total extensions seperately, or print one entire layer of 18 pieces. You must print 5 of each part (Extension(1-18)x5), or 5 of the (FullLayerx5) models. If you make one, PLEASE post a make! I, and others looking to make one themselves would love to see it.
