The Toru is a variation on the face-turning rhombic dodecahedron twisty puzzle, first introduced by Matt Shepit in 2008. It was quite a groundbreaking puzzle when it was released, and I always wanted to build one for myself. It took me until 2019 to finally get around to it, and now I am sharing my replica of the design here. Enjoy, and if you build one, please post a Make!

As a bonus, I am also including the STL for a stand that I designed for this puzzle using shape optimization in Fusion 360.
