Round-1

Puzzle Details

Ben VonDerHaar created this 3D printed modification of a Square-1 as a perfect sphere.
It moves extremely well, so it's a big fun to play with.

Ben and I had a long mail conversatiom over several months about the actual status of his parcel. German postal services and also German customs had been really made a poor job. So I proposed to rename at least my Round-1 to "Odyssey-1" to give it an appropriate name.
I haven't checked it, but it must be around 2-3 months until I finally got it.

According to the TwistyPuzzles "Small Round-1 Wainting List" there are currently not more than the six mentioned puzzles existing:
