Description

Diagonal Cube is a diabolical assembly puzzle where no matter how the pieces are put together, they don't seem to properly form a cube. As a coordinate motion puzzle, its disassembly can also prove tricky! The white and brown diamonds appear to help by color-coordinating where the pieces have to line up, but it's barely any help and can be misleading in fact.

This is a cheap copy of the puzzle and it has chips on the corners that makes me think it came like that from the manufacturer instead of through wear and tear over time. It solves and handles perfectly well. It just doesn't look like a seamless cube at the end in the corners.

The green paper talks about the history of the puzzle which is shown in the photos. But on the other side of it, is the solution to how to assemble the puzzle. So don't worry if you struggle with solving the puzzle.

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 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.

Grooved 6 Board Burr #7 by Juno

The Grooved Board Burr series was an amazing innovation in the design of board burrs where instead of just burr plates that the solver has to figure out how to take apart, they now have to deal with blocking pins obstructing their ability to dismantle this burr. I only ever had the luck to try #6 and #7 in the series, but they were both an absolute blast to solve!It's the hardest one in the series and stays stable for an impressively long time. But the final few moves before the first piece can ...

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...

LOL by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...
