A partially void version of the puzzle generated by merging the cuts of 2 offset crazy 33x55x55 barrels.

This puzzle consists of two partially voided offset crazy 33x55x55 barrels merged together.
The puzzle was made from a super 3x3x3 00. The circles have NOT been unlocked. The inventor extended it into a 3x5x5 with the circles being on two 5x5 sides, transformed it into a hexadecagonal barrel and glued extensions on the pieces of the locked circles cut from 1mm plastic sheet. The images 9-14 show all the process.
It was important to make the puzzle partially void in order to be fully functional. Otherwise it would have been necessary to use a fully functional crazy2face saturn 33x33x33, extend it into a 33x55x55 and then bandage the top and the bottom layer pieces. Almost all the "centers" (except the top and the bottom faces) are missing, and just 8 are remaining. The stickers at the sides are 11x1 stripes. On Ilya Toporgilka's other crazy barrels, the top and the bottom faces are void and show the pieces of the internal hidden layer(in this case it is an internal 1x3x3 or 1x5x5). After merging the cuts on 2 top amd bottom faces the 5x5 cuts replace the 55x55 cuts and lock/bandage some of the pieces. But there is also a circular cut around each of these faces which has to split somehow. Ilya Toporgilka saw the opportunity to make both of the circles fixed and build a crazy2face puzzle. If the fixed circle is incomplete, the side becomes completely unturnable.
Merging the cuts from 2 offset puzzles has already been used to create a Square-1 (which is merged two windmill 2x2x3s) or a waterfall cube by merging two windmill 3x3x3s.
