M12 Cube
The M12 Cube is a corner-turning cube with its axes geared together. The edge pieces exhibit the symmetries of the Mathieu M12 group, which makes for a challenging solve.

Printed in vapor-smoothed ABS.
70mm, 220 grams
Solution guide included.

Triskelion Barrel
The Triskelion Barrel moves like a kaleidoscope — spinning the three rings turn some gears that quickly mix up the colorful puzzle on top. The gearing is chosen to enforce symmetries of the PSL(3,3) permutation group.

It's 3D printed in colored ABS and covered with plexiglass plates on the top and bottom. Available in a full stickering scheme, or a simplified scheme that excludes the petal pieces.


Quaternion Cube
The Quaternion Cube is a rather easy-to-solve puzzle that visually demonstrates the Quaternion Group Q₈ and the multiplication of quaternions.

It is printed in ABS plastic and vapor-smoothed. You can choose between the pictured simplified stickering scheme or the slightly less trivial full stickering scheme - leave a note in the order comments.

Fano Gem
The Fano Gem is a geared face-turning octahedron with irregularities designed to produce the symmetries of the Fano Plane.

You can select between the pictured sticker scheme or full colors, which make the puzzle more difficult - just leave a note in the comments.


Antler Cube
The Antler Cube is a modification of the Nón Lá Cube that adds new stored cuts to make the jumbling moves more interesting. The puzzle is named after the branching pattern seen in the corners, and also the bumps that occur on the faces when the puzzle is jumbled. The puzzle is fully 3D printed out of resin and vapor-smoothed ABS.


Quirky Gem III
The Quirky Gem III is a jumbling puzzle formed by the intersection of two hexagons, with 6 shallow face turns. Fully SLS printed by Grigorusha Living Puzzles.


Crammed Cube
The Crammed Cube was designed to showcase a very unusual permutation group: Mathieu M11 over 12 points. It's perhaps the quirkiest cube I've ever attempted to solve.

Printed in vapor-smoothed ABS.
~70mm, 240 grams
Solution guide included.

Illegal Slice Cube
The Illegal Slice Cube combines the concepts of a slice-only puzzle and the Illegal Cube. It was designed to explore the properties of the Mathieu M10 group, but ended up being a challenging puzzle due to the large solution space and restricted movements.

It is fully 3D printed with vapor-smoothed ABS.



Gyrobifastigium
The Gyrobifastigium is a fun little puzzle that is more confusing than difficult. It's the perfect size to carry around in your pocket and impress your friends. The ovals between the faces can only be turned along the intersection of a square and triangle face, and at intervals of 180°.

I sell white copies made from vapor-smoothed ABS. It's also available in other colors from Chewie's Custom Puzzles.

Warped FTO
This is a rough prototype of the Fano Gem with no gearing. It solves like a Face Turning Octahedron with an extra corner.

DoDot
The DoDot is a shallow-cut vertex-turning dodecahedron. It's like a Bauhinia Dodecahedron with less visible pieces.

These copies are bigger and turn smoother than the one in the video, made out of resin and vapor-smoothed ABS. It's about the size of an MF8 Gigaminx.
