Is it possible to make a mirror blocks-style megaminx with the core slightly off center? If so, has it been thought of or made before?
I thought of the idea today, and it is a rather simple continuation of the bump cube idea, so i'm surprised I hadn't seen it suggested on TwistyPuzzles or somewhere. (unless I'm missing something).

Why move the core? Just bump/lower each side a different amount, negative of its (why does my iPhone try to "correct" that to "it's"?) opposite. I think the biggest issue would be trying to differentiate the heights while not hiding edges.

I feel like that would be the issue for making such a puzzle... You may be able to construct it by extending all the pieces (essentially making a "huge" megaminx) and then cutting down the faces in a way to end up with a porportional minx. I'm not a puzzle modder but that's what I would try if I was.
