Puzzle Details

"This puzzle was made in collaboration with my friend TheMoui.
Initially he wanted to see a tetrahedral FTO, after some tries it seemed that the only way to achieve that was to make curvy cuts, like on a Rex Cube, with strait cuts the vertices of the tetrahedron can't be attached. Then we saw that 2 tetrahedral shape mods of the Rex Cube had already been done.

So I tried again the strait cuts but with extruded faces, the shape was interesting, my friend told me that it could be great to add cuts to make the face pattern full of triangles, and that was a very good idea. I also tried to add more cuts to allow the very outer layers to turn independently, but combining these 2 new cuts was impossible, some pieces can't be anchored. So we decided to keep the more aesthetic version.

The Tharsis was born! The name comes from a martian volcanic plateau, with reference to Meffert's Vulcano (AKA Trignis). Compared to the Vulcano, the Tharsis has 3 new type of pieces.

The puzzle consists of 75 pieces, 168 stickers, the edge length is 73mm, the height is 84mm for a weight of 148g."
