Largest Pyraminx on earth - New World Record - Over 2 metres

The puzzle is real / fully functional / works 100%. The April Fool's joke was on those that thought it was fake.
But it goes beyond a simple joke. I want to encourage people to think more. I guess it originated from when I realised hardly anyone bothered solving puzzles by themselves nowadays. Others ask what they should buy or make instead of buying or making what THEY want. Coupled with a world where people blindly believe their heroes, musicians, favourite politicians etc and reject anything coming from those they don't like. I just want to mix things up a bit. If that makes people hate me then fine but at least they were forced to think and hopefully will continue thinking and questioning things.
This is only the third puzzle I have completely hand made. All the others were either transformations / mods or 3D printed. Making a puzzle this size requires carefully balancing weight with quality and usually cost. You could make a fantastic quality puzzle but it will likely weigh a ton or cost a fortune, probably both in fact both. This cost under 150 GBP, took about 86 hours and moves dreadfully. It still works though and is by far the largest Pyraminx on earth. It weighs around 22kg or 48.5 pounds and has an edge of roughly 2.08m or 6 feet 10.
