This puzzle turns awful. So I made my own!

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!

@@Poppieandboefje one of my favourite things about FTO is that the main method, Bencisco, is very similar to yau on 4x4. In fact FTO is slightly faster than 4 because it has fewer pieces. Super unique puzzle, love FTO

@EddtheRexMan 4 ай бұрын

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!

Former WB holder here, the LanLan can be a perfectly viable speed puzzle if Florian modded, but people seem to enjoy the RexTO more

@Z3Cubing 4 ай бұрын

Good point! If you have all the materials, I still bet making a RexTO is easier (or at least less mind-numbing) than sanding down a LanLan though.

@EddtheRexMan 4 ай бұрын

I have two LanLan modded and magnetised by Tyler himself and they are amazing (thank you Tyler)! My RexTO is marginally better but mostly because it weighs less than the LanLan

@tylerhicks621 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, the big things that the RexTO has over the LanLan are weight, and it doesn't pop. The LanLan is much smoother, and can corner cut a bit better. All of my former records were done on a LanLan for what it's worth
