This Pyraminx is: -The Highest NxN Pyraminx -The First 13x13 Pyraminx -The Most Magnet on a Pyraminx -The Highest NxN Pyraminx with Magnet -The First Magnetic 13x13 Pyraminx -The Biggest Fully Functional Pyraminx -The Biggest Pyraminx (in size)
Some of these puzzles begs for a bigger size however weight becomes a serious problem if scale increases. Some of these deserves to be made with harder pieces like the smallest bits should be made out of metal. This work is perplexingly amazing. Would be nice to see how you worked out the 3d models for these.
Thats amazing! I thinking you should do it stickerless like the atlasminx there must have been a reason for do it with stickers. Again that is so cool.
This is a behemoth of a puzzle! I’m rather a newb at 3D printing myself. Would smoothing with sanding or acetone vapor help with minimizing some friction?
So you're interested in making super complex puzzles? Maybe you can use the knowledge you have now to make an improved version of the 22x22 (I understand if you don't want to given what happened last time). Keep in mind though that you can always learn from failures, but you never learn from success
On the telesphynx I made it has a base that holds it so you can work it without having to hold it up. When you finish the first phase it opens up on the top and 2 more sections rise up ,at that point its 34 inches tall sitting flat on a table, it telescopes up after the first phase is solved automatically, it took me 6 years to complete it but its awesome. If you wanna see it give me a e mail and I'll send you some pictures, I built a rubik's cube that's as big as a vw beetle, really it's in my back yard now cause it's so big. 246 lbs and 8 ft square idk what the world record is for biggest rubik's cube. I might have it. And it works, it's not just to look at my mind is constantly thinking of new puzzles. It won't stop. Lolol. I gotta stay ahead of brian young. He keeps sending me e mail trying to buy my patents for cubes and puzzles I have made
I also wondered this. He made a good case for why they’re necessary but I wonder if the design could be optimized with weaker magnets or if the puzzle just becomes unstable and disintegrates.
Like yellowmarkers said, once you reach a certain threshold, if you did a half-turn, the corner wouldn't have any support from the center pieces below, and would simply fall off, unlike a 3x3, where the corner sits comfortably behind the center (if you have a 3x3, do a half-turn and see for yourself). This wouldn't work for every cube from 6x6 onwards, and that's actually why it took so long to create the first 6x6 (there were also other issues, such as the fact that, to build an even-layered cube, the internal structure had to be based on the next odd-layered cube. So basically the first creators of the 6x6 had to engineer a working mechanism for the 7x7, and _then_ fit it into a 6x6. This video by J Perm goes into much more detail ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Lw6GniCkUk.html ) If you still tried to make it work while keeping the sides proportional, the legs that connect the corners to the core mechanism would have to be so thin that they would break almost immediately So the solution is to either curve the faces, or make the external layers bigger than the internal ones. In this Pyraminx, since it's so big, both of the solutions were applied
