Truncated Rhombic Dodecahedron Puzzle

thingiverse

Update 11/6/17: Don't print this as it is right now. This was one of my first designs, and it was made with Solidworks 2003 (but in 2015). I made some significant errors in creating the mechanism, the clearances are far too large for this to be a really playable puzzle. I will try to update it when I have some time. This is a split 1x2x3, which has been modified into the shape of a Truncated Rhombic Dodecahedron. The base puzzle for this is, just as the name implies, essentially a 1x2x3 that has been "split" along the top and bottom layers in such a way that those layers are now capable of being turned after 90 degree turns, instead of the usual 180. Because of this unique trait, the puzzle takes on the solving difficulty of a 2x2x3 that has been bandaged along the middle layer.
