Meffert's Gear Egg

Gear egg

Fun solve! Beware misalignments!

Very interesting take on the standardgear cube solve. Its centers require orientation, so it's not completely trivial if you can already solve the gear cube. NOTE: No english tutorial exists for this puzzle. I had to learn this puzzle intuitively, but after learning to solve the gear cube you should be able to manufacture your own algorithms to complete the solve with relative ease. One recurring problem I had with this puzzle is how easy it is for some of the gears to slip their teeth. This is possible because the puzzle is tensioned very loosely, and appears impossible to adjust. I've heard horror stories from those who have tried disassembling this puzzle, so I choose to be extra careful with turning it. Overall, it's an interesting puzzle, if a little bit expensive. :)
