Take your structural puzzle solving to a brand-new plane with the x² 2x2. This exceptional mechanical brain teaser re-imagines standard cubic internal kinematics by taking a standard 2x2 puzzle layout and applying an aggressive, mathematically skewed proportional compression along its primary dimensional axis—effectively creating a dramatically "squished" profile.
This collector-grade masterpiece is expertly engineered by designer x² and brought to life through the high-precision printing capabilities of Zepuzzles.
When mixed, the flat parallel rows transform into a radical shape-shifting labyrinth of jutting corners and varying face elevations. Instead of simple speedcube rotations, solving this requires advanced spatial tracking as the pieces stretch into non-uniform trapezoidal structures during mid-turn transitions.
🧩 Premium Fabrication & Design Elements
Elite Collaborative Engineering: Masterfully drafted by puzzle designer x² and manufactured under strict oversight by Zepuzzles. Industrial PETG 3D Printing: Layered using high-durability, wear-resistant PETG plastic. This base core selection eliminates long-term warping and yields smooth internal track friction. Inlaid Tile Surface Treatment: Rather than traditional vinyl decals that peel over time, the outer facets are fully covered with premium, flush-fitting solid tiles. Dynamic Color Combinations: Available in distinct aesthetic configurations to accentuate your collection display—including a Black body with standard 6-color tiles, a monochrome Black+White setup, or an ultra-sleek Blue+Red contrast palette.
