Astrominx is basically a shapemod for Starminx II puzzle. It is made in a form of icosahedron where icosahedron corners match dodecahedron centers, and icosahedron centers match dodecahedron corners.
Some of the Starmins II algorithms work well for Astrominx as well. But need to keep in mind that Astrominx corners orientation now maters (unlike starminx centers where orientation does not matter)
Number of parts to print:
- 1x Core
- 12x Inner (Megaminx) Center
- 30x Inner (Megaminx) Edge
- 20x Inner (Megaminx) Corner
- 30x Outer (pyraminx crystal) Edge
- 60x Trianges
- 12x Outer Corners
You will also need 12x 0.5x4x10 springs (can be bought on aliexpress) and 12x of M3x20 screws with a small head.
As for printing. My favorite technique is to split each pieces into 2 halves, print them separately, then glue halves together. This allows printing without supports. Such split pieces come with 'Split' infix in the file name. If you still prefer normal printing - I adde
