I has 4 patterns for permutation, (solved, one move away, two moves away and diagonal swap) and i believe 6 patterns of "rings" orientation, so I believe there are 24 patterns total

@@TymonHypercubing Please draw the graph.

Thank you!

Not that bad actually 😉 for me they look like, as you were inside of the puzzle

Already done 😎 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bf__m479QjY.html

4d 1x1x1x1

Probably yes! I should definitely try 1x1xNxM puzzles

Thanks! It's really fun puzzle

It's 4^4 but with 1° 4D FOV so cells are flatten in 4th dimension so it can be used as 4x4x4x1, also i like side faces to be close to the Inside cell so the puzzle looks more like physical one

@@TymonHypercubing But it still looks wrong. In the limit you'd have an orthographic projection, but this looks like it's gone past that into some weird unreal zone where the closest edges are shorter than the furthest ones.

Ah ok, if I understand what you mean, this effect is caused by wide 3D FOV I use to see more of internals of the puzzle 🙂

@@TymonHypercubing It looks like a bug to me. It could be that the slider you are using lets you to take the FOV out of range into negative numbers or something. The effect is a bit like a "front face culling" bug something like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GWN-MNHoX-w.html

Oh, you are right, my 3d FOV is actually set to -15° ... I don't think its a bug tho, values go from 120 to -120 and on -120 HSC sais ORP EKAUQ 😂

Thank you!

Thank you! Few minutes over 8 hours with over 3100 moves

Yes, you are wright, great point, this only works when there are exactly 4 or 8 corners missoriented tho

Thank you! Hopefully more videos coming soon 👀

And what is your 3D printer

Printer: Ender 3 v2 neo Corners are attached by 8 magnets per sides, where next to each other are opposite magnets, rest is on 4 magnets per side

Thank you!

Thanks! 3^5 will take me definitely much longer...

😃 I used Blender for overall concept and checking magnet system, and then designed pieces for printing in Fusion 360

Is there a need for specific expertise or background to design something like this, or is it mostly trial and error?

I don't think any expertise is needed, I've started completely from scratch. You just have to know how you would like the piece to look, then bringing it to 3d render is not that hard, it's mostly drawing lines or simple shapes and settings dimensions of them

Yeah sure, it has only one more step + parity

Yeah, after I orientation, it's just 3^3 (almost) so it's easier for me to lookahead when stickers are together and it looks like 3^3

I think it is easier to understand its concept in this projection but it also have some cons like hard I cell access, but definitely worth trying ;)

Thanks!
