Sometimes, a small change in shape can make a familiar puzzle feel completely new. The 3x3x2 Pillowed Mirror is my version of the classic 3x3x2 Cuboid, redesigned to combine a mirror-style appearance with a soft, pillowed shape.

The idea was to take the original cuboid mechanism and give it a different personality. With the help of 3D-printed extension parts, the puzzle is transformed into a distinctive shape modification that looks quite different from the standard rectangular cuboid. The mirror-style design adds another visual twist, while the pillowed form changes its overall silhouette and gives the puzzle a unique presence.

What I find interesting about this project is how the combination of a familiar mechanism and custom 3D-printed parts opens up new possibilities for puzzle design. It is a reminder that even a classic puzzle can inspire fresh ideas when you experiment with its shape and appearance.

I am not the original inventor of the underlying puzzle concept. This is my own version of the 3x3x2 Pillowed Mirror, created for twisty puzzle enthusiasts who appreciate creative modifications and unconventional designs.
