No but I have seen them and read about them. It seems like an interesting puzzle but I keep hoping to get my hands on one first.
What are your thoughts (assuming you own one)?
I love mazes and sequential puzzles and this seems to fit the bill

The construction of the puzzle is pretty amazing
To make only one slab to move you potentially have a sequence of 2 to 12 or even more move to do
Very challenging

Some minor defect involve the round peg on to going forward into the puzzle witch I repaired with little washer

But I’m stuck and even if I’m able to slide all of it in different direction it seems like one of the groove for the ball is not long enough by 2 mm so I would love to eat from someone else before taking it apart to dremel it a bit

The overall puzzle is just very very well made and a superb challenge for those who seek one

I’m literally blown away with this one I’m sure I will send many hours to complete all

The amazing thing with this particular puzzle is that it’s not just a sequential puzzle

Every time you want to make one move you must find the right sequence to place the slab so the path open and on each move you must find the right sequence

The locking pin on each side of each slab plus the sequence can be a freaking cause of frustration

I can recommend that piece only for strong puzzler

But man that IS SUPER FUN in my book :)

Looks like he has other designs similar to the one you have as well if you search around for his collected works.
Interesting looking puzzles

Finally made it out !
Great puzzle indeed
I took about 4 hours to complete
Even knowing the solution I estimate resolving it about 1h30

Very challenging but so satisfying when you figure everything out :D
