A-mazing Dice

It's not just a maze and it's not just a dice: here's my a-mazing dice.

The concept of this puzzle game is pretty simple: every face of the dice (from 1 to 6) is in a maze form, and every dot on a face is connected to another dot of a face with adjacent number (1<-->2, 2<-->3<-->4 and so on).
Try to bring a ball from face 1 to 6 and back is harder than you think.

This puzzle can be arranged in 2*2*4*4*2=128 different configuration (excluding an additional 4 permutation multiplier given by the orientation of the face 1 which is invariant) simply rotating a single maze on his own face slot.
Keep in mind that a small amount of these configuration can bring to an unsolvable condition; just test the puzzle before fully assembling it.

In order to assemble it you also need:
- 6 pieces of 60*60*1 mm acrylic to close the top of the maze of every face (a sheet of 1 mm acrylic can be cut easily with an exacto knife)
- a sphere for the maze not bigger than 2.5 mm in diameter
- some of glue or double sided tape, to fix the 6 mazes to the dice structure and to fix the acrylic pieces on them.

You can print the dice structure and the 6 mazes separately or in a single shot (loosing the possibility of changing the puzzle configuration, although)

Now it's your turn to find the optimal path and set a new record.

I've printed mine using a Elegoo Mars 2 P resin printer with Anycubic ABS-like black resin (32 sec / 5 sec exposure): keep in mind that resin printers with smaller bed size can't fit the dice structure part.

Using a resin printer for that part can be tricky, so i've also provided a pre sliced version of the file that I've successfully print; due to the limitation of the resin tank i've refilled it during the process.

Using a FDM printer should be much easier.
