Problem with my Copernisis

Hi everybody,

I've received my Copernisis a week ago and every time I've played with it to try to open it, I've found my blood on it or I saw later that I hurted myself by manipulating it :|
I really don't understand how I do because I used it carefully... Is it possible that there was a manufacturing defect somewhere on it ? it's shame because I really like it :(

Hmmm, theCopernisis has red rings, and contains lubrication oil, but should not bleed nor make you bleed ( only make you sweat maybe).
You could try wiping the copernisis with a soft cloth or paper tissue to see if the cloth gets stuck on a sharp edge or point. If you can tell us which part is too sharp, we might be able to suggest a corrective action.

I've just look at it all part and nothing appear wrong.
The borders rings are not sharp ?
The first day I play with it, I saw a little wire trapped on the key chamber little hole. After playing, it left the puzzle. I don't know what it was.

How are you sliding the planets? Is it your finger tips which are getting cut? :shock:

I slide the planetes with my left thumb and index, the first time I played with it, I saw blood but I didn't feel that I hurted my finger on the tip, and yesterday, I didn't feel it either, just when I touched water later. I saw a cut on the side of my index tip. :(
Maybe I'm cursed... When I buy something new I'm cursed during some days :roll: I had some strange misadvantures with my new violin there was two month :lol:

Are you pressing down when you slide the planets(sorry do't speak french) come to think of it can't speak english either :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You might be running your finger along the edge of the groves and getting what we call a paper cut.

Yes, it's like a paper cut. Maybe I don't use the good manipulation to move planets. I'll try to just use my thumb like shown in the video :) maybe it will be better for my poor index :lol:

This has got me very worried.

Thousands of birds dropping dead from the sky, the death of thousands of fish in Arkansas, and now a Copernisis that mysteriously weeps blood, surely the apocalypse is nigh :D

yes i had the same problem, mine was covered in lubricating oil and it was soo stiff it slipped and i have cut both index fingers, both thumbs as well from both the outside and the rings. but i have a bigger problem now, as i was moving the outer layer (the one at the bottom) it jammed, i couldnt move it eitherway and i couldnt rotate the puzzle, now the "plannet" has come out and the only way i can move it is it i move the whole top
