Description

Where, oh where do I begin with this utterly wild and marvelous puzzle?

Do I start with how it's the third in the series and how tacroy went extremely far with the presentation and lore of this puzzle's backstory, steadily building it up puzzle by puzzle for a wonderful climax once the third puzzle has been solved which feeds back into the clues and snippets hidden in the prior 2 puzzles of this trilogy?

Should I cover how the puzzling was incredibly fun and brought me on a wild ride with very creative mechanisms that I never even considered being implemented in 3d printing before? How I felt like an Indiana Jones working as an archeologist uncovering long lost secrets that came with a risk of death to the people involved with these artifacts? Tacroy's touch of "aging" the prints to look older and more authentically ancient was a lovely design choice!

All in all, I had an absolute blast with these puzzles, and while I think it's ideal to get all 3 puzzles in the series and to tackle them in order, tacroy kindly designed the puzzles to be solved in isolation without requiring the prior puzzles in the series for this one.

This puzzle places very high on my list of favorite 3d printed puzzles!

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.

I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other desired payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).

Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.

I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Finally, we're in the crush of the Christmas holiday season which may mean delays or difficulty delivering packages. So if the winner of this auction wishes for me to hold off on shipping them out, let me know and I'd be willing to wait until a better time to ship out.

Vertigo by Dee Dixon

Vertigo definitely lives up to its name considering how easy it is to go around and around in circles with this puzzle!It's a good thing that it's so pretty and nice to look at considering how long I spent just staring at it like an idiot lost on the next step to do! I liked it more than most of Dee's other works. It has some very nice steps that I was impressed by and liked to repeat just for the tactile pleasure of executing these steps.I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of c...

Minima Smiley by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has been crafting Minima after Minima design where he works to design a packing puzzle within a 2 by 2 by 3 box where either the solver has to fit in a set of pieces, or figure out how to take them out. He used to number them, but after reaching #14 which developed into a full blown sequential discovery puzzle (Jammed Gem), they've spiraled out into other names and really stretching the original packing concept of a Minima. At this point, the total number of Minima designs is ...
