This puzzle turns awful. So I made my own!

Ойын-сауық

The Face-Turning Octahedron has been gaining popularity among speedcubers, but the mass-produced versions are subpar. Instead, I make a custom "RexTO" with 3D-printed pieces!

    For my most recent RexTO, i used a file and some wet n dry sandpaper to smooth the pieces, and here's a cool trick i got from Tyler: you can polish the plastic to make it look like injection molded stuff by using notepad paper as a super fine grit abrasive. No joke it works wonders once youve got rid of the big likes from printing If i make another, I'll make a before and after video to show off just how good a RexTO can look! 😤 Also, thanks for sharing, love FTO and love seeing ofhers having fun with it!
