When Kris started selling Scion, I grabbed this copy from the very first run and had a blast with this puzzle! It's a nicely compact cube that opens up into a cluttered mess with lots of tools and parts you need to poke around with to find the next step. Quite frankly, I'm amazed at how much puzzling is packed away into this tiny space. It just keeps going and going long past the point where I would have thought it'd end. At 26 moves, it's a lot of puzzling to do and I'd say there are 3 "stages" to the journey. So it's not a short or simple puzzling adventure for anyone worried about their fun ending too soon. If I didn't already own other versions of this puzzle, I wouldn't be auctioning this copy off.
It's also fairly unique as a print because it's made of Carbon Fiber printing material. It adds a nice feel of texture to the matte finish, has a nice hefty weight to the normally very light printed parts, the parts are stronger, and has incredible heat resistance where if normal pla melts due to the heat, this would not warp in the slightest. Sadly enough, Kris isn't printing with this material anymore due to the sheer wear and tear this imposes on his prints. He said the parts come out much easier than with normal pla, but he has to replace the nozzles and gears faster thanks to the roughness of the material.
So grab this copy for some puzzling fun and to geek out over a unique printed material that no one else is working with!
