Definitely way above my level of BurrTools expertise! It doesn't fully disassemble either, so I wouldn't have any idea of what to plot in the first place. :?

It would be incredible if you could get something like that to work in BurrTools though!

I'd be happy to see what I could do... are there any other "groove" pictures you could send, I'll try and model it...

No more grooves really fully show themselves during the solving process. With a bit of thought I could probably map out what the grooves look like on each of the pieces based on their movement against the others, but not too sure how useful that would be to you. If only you lived nearby!

I have to admit it seems a bit disappointing that you cannot take it fully apart.

technically it is a puzzle box... most don't even have a piece that comes OFF, just a panel that opens...
but I agree, it would be nice if it disassembled further...

My Photo Gallery on Flickr has just passed the 1000 image barrier! Well worth a browse if you like looking at puzzles as much as I do. :)

I decided to stick with just black as it made the colours more pronounced.

A while back a few of you may remember that I made several of these Dice Soma Cubes:

Now I'm thinking of ordering a load of dice to make another batch. If I were to put some of these up on Paradise do you guys reckon people would want to buy them? And if so how much would you be happy to pay for one. Really I'm just hoping to be able to get the cost of the dice back.
