Good job tracking down the puzzle ball. Looking forward to seeing some of the prototypes of the various processes to achieve a good-looking prop.
invest in plastic razors, they're GODSENDS (and cheap)Got the gold mexaminx ball from AliExpress today. Definitely ready for some plates! Not sure how to get that same chrome finish on new parts though. Mine at least does have a nice mechanical clinking type sound when you move it around.
One annoying thing is when you take the arickers off it takes a thin layer of the gold color off as well. Not a big deal since they’ll be covered back up though.

And after an hour or so and a super sore fingernail…

good work so far and good luck with the rest of the model, I know from 2 weeks of work that it is not easy! you mean 62 pieces though, right?Currently working on a fully 3D printable version with all 63 pieces to work just like the megaminx sphere and very well detailed thanks to the many reference images in this thread so thank you for those and if you have more of some of the sides in their palms would be super helpful but man this model has a crap ton of sketches about halfway done so stay tuned!
63 includes the central core piece the 12 sides would be mounted to. Might end up being more in order to make it 3D printer friendly as a perfect sphere is hard to printmaybe two halves of the sphere not sure yet but will share progress as it gets closer to it.¯\_(ツ)_/¯good work so far and good luck with the rest of the model, I know from 2 weeks of work that it is not easy! you mean 62 pieces though, right?

yes, Wonderknight is offering resin printed tiles from my accurate 3D model for sale on her website, see the project run here:Is anyone still working on the plates for the puzzle balls?
Wonder Knight , would you consider sharing with us your weathering technique? I'll understand if you want to keep that proprietary, but it's so good!
Thank you!
Hi
Is there a 2D version of the map pattern layout available?
