Master Pyraminx (flat sided) finally released

[Dinkydau]

It's significantly harder to turn than the normal pyraminx. I think it has a lot to do with there not being an alignment mechanism. You must be a little careful, otherwise pieces can come off (as I've had happen). It's definitely good enough to use as a puzzle. It looks amazing and it's fun.

Mine has never poped, maybe you have it very loose. I kind of agree with the alignment, but loose tensions made this problem more noticeable.

Does anyone know a way of cycling three centres on one of these? I can solve everything else up to this stage but can't for the life of me figure out this last bit.

Is there an algorithm to cycle 3 centers on a master pyraminx?

I've been waiting over three years for a response to this question.

Got mine today and I'm stuck. What method are you guys using? I can solve a layer or everything but a layer but get stuck. I've tried and failed to create decent comms. Closest I've come was to leave a 3 edge cycle which I completely screwed up.

Ha ha. I've just got to the same position. 3 centres need cycling!

They are equivalent to 4 Skewb corners if that helps (all floating or all fixed).

Ryan Minchin Cho has helped me out on Facebook
"With red (solved face) on bottom, R U R' U R U' R' U R U R', all wide turns
Then A regular 3 cycle, U moves little, R moves wide"
He's also done a tutorial that he says isn't great but does the job. I haven't watched it yet.

Does anybody make the master Pyraminx besides Meffert and Shengshou? I've heard the Meffert is terrible. I just got the Shengshou and it might literally be the worst puzzle I've ever owned. Feels like it's going to fall part if I look at it wrong and it locks up even when the layers are aligned. So terrible that I'm returning it

So do I have any other options? Any chance I just got a bad puzzle?

Mine are perfect. Take it apart and reassemble it to make sure there's not something out of place or wrongly adjusted.

Cube Depot seems to think it's defective based on the video I sent them so I may just need to get a different one.
