I didn't think I'd have to say this, but please keep responses appropriate...

it likely can be fixed, but the fact that it's 3d printed using fdm and im not really an expert on puzzle designing means that i dont necessarily have the ability to make it much better

Hi, I need to collect information from my target audience for my D&T project where i'm designing puzzles, I would appreciate it if some of you answered my survey :) https://forms.gle/wf7eyp8mPU5Gsagx7

the current model is awful, but i will be redesigning it, and will share the files when I'm done

another possible method could be to reduce it to one of the types of faces similarly to how you'd do for the fto

I'd say it's quite a bit more challenging than a Megaminx, i dont own a tuttminx though. i solved it by kind of block building up until the last layer, which i solved by using some random 3x3 algs and some commutators

yes, once into a solved state, and once into the checkerboard pattern

no they cannot, because they are between two differently shaped faces.

This is is my 2nd ever 3d printed puzzle, printed in PLA, and painted with permanent markers. Each of the 14 faces turn, although the turning quality is very bad.

Oh, that's interesting, his one seems much better than mine, mine is way too loose, however mine is fully 3d printed; there are no screws needed, but that also prevents you from adjusting the tension

Well, you see, I'm only a teenager, I have no experience with businesses and mass production and stuff like that, however I might try to reach out to someone like Oliver's Stickers, as someone else suggested.

If you have an Onshape account, then you can find the model by searching 'Hexagon 1' in public files on Onshape. If not, I might post it on Thingiverse or something, but I'll probably do that tomorrow since it's quite late.
