这魔方的作者网名叫：Anthony，他说DIY这魔方花了大约70个小时的时间!

Time –
It took just over a month with fairly constant working. This was working on it about 1 to 2 hours a night during the week with maybe 4 hours over the weekends. Very approx. 70 hours. Of course this involved all the working out of the angles and the transformation of the pieces, and, making the templates for the stickers. As this is now all done, the time would be reduced.

Where to get Square 1’s –
Don’t know at the moment.

Internal Pics –
Sorry there are no internal pics. The mechanism is the Square 1, it’s just the pieces have been transformed.

Half turn of Square 1 –
Not to bore you all with ALL my thoughts, ideas, proposals and decisions/scrapped decisions etc. over months and months, this one has been on and off for a long time, more than a year, this would be a long posting if I went into depth. I finally decided on a half turn and a somewhat complicated truncation of the original puzzle. I did not want the middle layer to be continuous on the finished item. The idea of the middle ‘half’ layer on the white face beginning at the bottom corner and rising at a slight angle really appealed to me. I will say that the final result/appearance was not random.

There are only two 'face' truncations on this puzzle where it is getting close to the inner mechanism so care has to be taken with the pieces involved until they are complete. When complete (extended etc.) they are okay and do not effect playing with the puzzle in any way, it can be handled/used in exactly the same way as the original. I know it sounds a little odd truncating a face so much then extending the pieces, but believe me it was necessary. It was not just a simple matter of truncating the eight corners for instance. There are a number of edge, face and corner truncations necessary to achieve what I was after.
The overall size was determined, dictated by the projecting out from the truncated core into the Tetrahedron shape.
The dimension given in the previous posting may sound big but when you use the puzzle it is actually very user friendly and you do not notice it, like you would on a 135mm cube for instance. Must have something to do with the the 'tapering' shape. Believe me I have been turning it enough lately.
