Gear Cube Gear Cube The Gear Cube is a 3-D combination puzzle designed and created by Dutch puzzle maker Oskar van Deventer (based on an idea by Bram Cohen). It was initially produced by Shapeways in 2009 and known as "Caution Cube" due to the likeliness of getting fingers stuck between the gears while speedcubing. Later, in 2010, it was mass-produced by Meffert's as the "Gear Cube". Compared to the original Rubik's Cube, this cube uses a complete gear mechanism. It requires six 180° turns to complete one rotation resulting in a twisty puzzle. The design of the Gear Cube places all
