Rotoskewb II by Timur

Hi!

This is an evolution of my previous puzzle Rotoskewb. Like the latter, it was suggested by Werner Schachinger. Actually his suggestion was a verbal description, but I misunderstood him and designed what you now know as Rotoskewb. He later told me that cuts position was supposed to be different to form "the Star of David" shape on the faces. Now I realized his original idea, so because of a mistake two puzzles appeared instead of one.

The mechanism inside is the same gear-based one like in Rotoskewb, just the outer layer is different. Fairly, turning is not good, but it might be better with some smoother material with less friction.

P.S. I'm very grateful to Werner for his generous financial support in ordering the printed parts at Shapeways
