DecTIC - Andrew Crowell

This puzzle is crafted by Andrew before he turned his attention to printing his puzzle designs.  This is one of three that I recently acquired and is a very early TIC design.

Be sure to visit Andrew Crowell’s Etsy shop arcWood Puzzles to see his 3D prints that are available!

Here’s Andrew’s original description: from his Etsy listing: 

“This is the DecTIC puzzle. It requires a few rotations and 9/10 moves to remove the first piece depending on how you count one of the rotations. I would rate the assembly of this puzzle as fairly difficult and the disassembly of this puzzle as fairly easy but enjoyable. I suggest you assemble the pieces and then try to assemble the puzzle instead of assembling the puzzle with the pieces already in place, leaving you with a disassembly puzzle... If that makes sense :-D

This is a Turning Interlocking Cube puzzle I designed with the aid of a computer program I wrote.”
